Today is your 95th birthday. Not a day passes when I don't think of you. In every joy and every sorrow, I remember you and think of what you would say. I see you in myself, every now and then. I know, as you reminded me, this is just a bend in the road. You may be out of sight for now but sometime, somewhere, our path will straighten out and we'll catch you walking just ahead with that confident stride of yours. God be with you, Achan.

Achan, on your birthday [Oct 5th], my heart is full of memories … -- Besides being a loving son, brother and uncle, you were an extremely caring husband to my mother in law; you were a great father, a wonderful grandfather and a caring & thoughtful father in law & an amazing teacher. Above all you were a good human being. Your wise words, advice & moral support gave us hope & strength to move forward… You taught us much by your example. Though life goes on without you, it will never be the same… Achan, we will always remember you with love. We all love you & wish you a very Happy Birthday...

My connection with Bhaskarmama goes back to more than half a century.Though my father passed away a long time ago my (and my family's) relationship with him has grown and strengthened over the years.We used to meet at least once a year during his annual visit to Madras from the US. My husband, in particular,found him intellectually stimulating - willing to discuss and debate any topic under the Sun. It is something we all will miss immensely. Kumudachechi used to always say that old friendships were sincere and genuine. We pray for their souls; may they rest in peace. Sudha

Achachan, hope you can hear me say, I miss you and I love you. you'll stay, in my heart and be remembered every day.You are my super Achachan… With lots of love … Rohit

We will always remember you with fond memories and will cherish the time we were able to spend with you. I was always impressed by his punctuality and thoroughness in whatever he did. He was never someone to sit idle and always kept his mind alert either by helping some students in learning maths or in keeping abreast with the latest technologies. I was amazed in how quickly he was able to learn how to use a smart phone and other electronic gadgets such as ipad.

Achan, words cannot express the way I feel. Your departure has created a vacuum in my heart & an extra ordinary wound on my soul. You have been ALWAYS there for me during the darkest times of my life. You showed us how to love and care, not through words, but through your action in your own subtle ways. Your presence, phone calls, the wisdoms you shared with me & your guidance will be missed & truly remembered... I thank God for blessing me by giving you as my father in law. Achan, you live in my heart & in the hearts of many who loves you…

He was one of the few elders who kept up with the times, always had a progressive attitude, stood for his principles, a great mathematician and withstood every single problem life threw at him. One of the few people I found solace talking to when debating issues of jobs and education, one of the few I would always look towards for his blessings. I still remember the day I jumped over the compound wall to retrieve his old nameplate on the old house. Even after I left Chennai, he was always in touch via email providing moral support, advice and rejoicing in my accomplishments. I wish I had seen him one last time in person before he went to a better place.

You will always be in our heart Kuttamama......we miss u a lot......with lots of love.....

When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears, And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same. Extract from Helen Steiner Rice

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Achan. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
