Thinking of you on your birthday, Prakashmasa. You were always warm and fun and full of laughter and energy and we enjoyed the time we spent with you. 

Dear Prakash masa
Thinking about you and all the good times we had with fondness and affection always. Rest in peace for you are remembered with love.

Bindiya and Bindal

Thinking of you this October. With love, Bindiya

Prakash masa was a gentle and fun soul who touched our lives and left them richer for his presence. When we stayed for several months with masa and Masi, he took us all over and showed us all the amazing sights with tremendous enthusiasm and gusto. He was always kind and jovial and despite our parents not being there for several months we never felt we weren't at home. He had a zeal for life and for adventure. We still remember him on our adventures and will always celebrate his enthusiasm for the small wonders all around us. He lives on in our memories and in the amazing cousins we have in our lives.

Prakash-uncle was an absolute gentle soul. My family & I consider ourselves very fortunate that our lives crossed each other. Always a smile on his face, always a comforting hug, always a sense of wonder were only just a few things we had come to expect from him. We will miss him dearly. Look over us & RIP, Prakash-uncle.

A very humble, cultured and decent human being with beaming smile, this is how I knew Prakash in Pilani.
We had special bond. And I will not be surprised if several friends who came in touch with Prakash, will say the same thing, and that was another of his millions of quality. He used to make the 'other' special. He once asked me to teach him "Lara's Theme" on harmonium and the sessions started. To my surprise, he picked up very fast and drop in my room occasionally to practice!
After leaving Pilani, we met at US embassy, I had gone there to get my US visa (to visit Chicago on 4 month trip sponsored by CFTC) and he had gone there to get visa for Geeta. This was in 1978. He insisted with lots of love that we must visit him in Detroit being so close to Chicago. And Hema, Nitin then 1 year old and I did stay with Prakash and Geeta for couple of days and received Maharaja's treatment. Prakash then took us on long ride to Nigeria Falls and I still remember Sarnia Border (Stamped in my passport as we crossed over to Canada)
We will miss Prakash
Jai ho
