An Eulogy for our dear friend Manimekala->from 1976 batch jipmer I and sonam had the pleasure of accompanying MANI (thats how we used to call her) with acoustic guitar and chandu on drums.in the inter class competions.She had a wonderful voice and good musical sense and yet very humble and polite with a lovely sinhalese accent.A slender tall figure with spectacled studious look ,with pleasent ever smiling face.keep saying o my god !!! All the time.A good competitor to Ragini in western vocal. Loosing such lovely friend so early and so sudden is very cruel. Friendship is a link that does not deteriorate in death, but rather strengthens for those who remember.” “Friends who loved you in life will treasure you in death.” “Losing a buddy is like losing a sister you never had. We all know it is only matter of tlme.Only we dont know when and where.Till then we can only pray for her wonderful soul to rest in peace and wait for us. Dr.G.Sriram
