My Journey with Sandeep started around 10 years back when I Joined Freescale. In my Initial days at FSL, I found him a very serious guy with less words. His technical expertise and problem solving skills were exceptional. He was the "Go-to guy" or the "problem solver guy" for the entire team.
We started taking our lunch and post lunch walk together. Then I realized that he is actually a fun loving guy. Not only his technical expertise, you bring any topic on the table weather current affairs, politics, world policies - his opinions were always ready. And yes, you need to be at your best ever to compete with him on any of these discussions.
We both were staying at nearby localities, so we used to come together to office via car-pool. There also, I remember many moments when we discussed on many topics, issues open heartedly. Most of the time his opinions were backed by the strong logic which you cannot deny. During our team outing events, he was the most enthusiastic and fun loving person. His passion for cricket is known to everyone.
Over a period of time, he became an extended family for me. I still can't believe he is no more between us. I will always remember him as a simple and pure hearted person whose technical expertise and problem solving skills were amazing.
Sandeep, you will always be in our heart and will be missed forever. Bye.
