Tribute 868.

--- Tribute to My Departed, Amazing Friend On the afternoon of the 18th, I received the shocking news of the untimely demise of Ramani, the beloved son-in-law of my dear old friend, the late Shri Ramasubramaniam. The news sent shockwaves through our entire family. I had known Ramani for over two decades—not just as my friend’s son-in-law, but as a good friend in his own right. We first met during our time in the UAE, where he worked as an electrical engineer for a leading consultancy firm. Through his dedication and work ethic, he carved out a unique identity for himself—something I continue to admire. Ramani was more than just a skilled professional. He was a kind-hearted human being, a devoted husband, and a loving father. His ever-smiling face, warm hospitality, and genuine friendship left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. His passing is a great loss—not only to his immediate family and close relatives but also to those of us who had the privilege of calling him a friend. I deeply miss him and that radiant smile he always wore. I pray to my Acharyan to bless and give strength to his wife (my friend's daughter), their daughters, and all the members of their grieving family, to help them bear this immense loss. May his soul attain eternal peace. K.Ragavan
