We are next door neighbour to Shri. Krishnaprasad family. We know them since 2015, when we moved to Madras after my retirement, from north. We remember him as a perfect gentleman and soft spoken. Till date, we couldn't reconcile to the sudden passing away of Mr.Prasad. One day prior to his sudden hospitalisation, I spoke to him over phone. He informed that he was fine . Two days before he tested positive, I saw him going to get some essentials and we talked about covid situation. I found him well dressed as usual, with a bright tshirt. We talked about taking life on day to day basis and to thank God.
When I was admitted in hospital for Covid positive, everyday they asked my wife whether she needed anything and got those items promptly and delivered at our doorstep.
I should definitely mention his culinary skills. Right from Kozhukkattai, gulab jamoon, coconut burfi, sakkarai ponngal, hot pakoras, vazhaippo vadai, murukku,we have tasted everything as soon as Mr. Krishnaprasad made them. I think after offering to God, whatever special items he used to make, were promptly , lovingly sent to us.
His demise would have come as a great shock to his family especially Mrs. Prasad. We pray to Lord Guruvayoorappan to give strength to his family members to overcome this irreparable loss.
R Sundaresan, Kalpana and family.
