I had the pleasure of spending time with him in 2014 and 2019. In 2014, it was for my Patti's funeral and his thoughtfulness, perspective, and sharp wit struck me in an otherwise chaotic situation.

Prof. Nagarajan (Nagarajan mama) brings back fond memories. For years, he visited my late father (Dr. Sriraman Srinivasan) at home almost every evening. Their conversations moved from serious to the most hilarious discussions! He was my inspiration to study Computer Science.
