It is with profound heartbreak that I learned of the passing of my longtime guide, mentor, brother, and dear friend Mr.V.Subramaniam. His wisdom, support, and friendship enriched my life in countless ways, and I will always be grateful for the time we shared. He will be deeply missed. I first met this honest and ever-helpful gentleman in 1970 while I was working at Cargills Fort. From that time onward, our friendship grew, and he guided and supported me in countless ways throughout my life. He was very close to my family—my wife and children—and touched our lives with his kindness, generosity, and genuine concern for our well-being. His presence was a source of strength and comfort, and the memories we shared will remain with us forever. We mourn his loss deeply and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.
