Dear Jayyu Anna, you were always very special to all of us. I am not able to reconcile that I will not be seeing you anymore in Nagpur. I remember Ganesh and I visiting Nagpur after we had just got married. In my following visit, I was trying to take my GRE back then and you were taking me to several stores to get GRE study materials. It was not easy to find in local bookstores back then. It used to be so crazy to get a test center. You were very worried that I may not get Nagpur as my first choice and with your intuition you had asked me to apply Chennai as my next choice. I can never forget those moments in my life.

I was so happy you and Manni were able to visit us in Atlanta 5 years ago. I remember we had a puja two days before you were return journey back to India. It was so much work. We had to decorate two large lamps and you were decorating them with so much patience, determined to get it done all by yourself. Really admire your keenness in getting everything perfectly executed.

In fond memories of Jayyu Anna.
