Anand Kannabiran Tribute

Hi Bharathi,
This is Shilpa Sood. Hope you remember me from school.Unfortunately, we haven't been in touch since school. I learnt about your husband from Arunita. I am very sorry to hear that. I was totally devastated to learn that. My heart goes out to you and your son. He is so beautiful. Hope you are doing well. I would love to talk/hear from you. You can email me at doctorssood@gmail.com. May God give you strength and courage during this difficult phase of your life.
Lots of love

Shilpa Sood

I happened to come across this page and was so shocked to know everything. The last I heard from you was during your wedding and you had also sent me your beautiful wedding pics. Sadly we lost touch later. You were a very dear friend and I am very sad to know about your loss. I would love to talk to you . You can send me an email/ your phone no. @tinarunita@googlemail.com

love
Arunita Sarkar

its gonu be an yr almost but i stil cant believe like everyone here that u r gone... memories though few n far between are etched in the inner most recesses of our hearts.. none of us cousins shared a fair share of proximity - n to recall our bygone yrs in such fashion gives an aching void... u will be missed always anna... may ur soul rest in peace... n may manni n uday kutty ever bask under the lord's grace n ur love...

Still remember the time when sriram introduced Anand in the first floor of VIT main building that he is also from west mambalam..very fresh..bubbly guy with lots of enthu....

slowly became an integral part of TCVs..such an active person he was...still couldnt beleive myself that i am typed 'he was' and not 'he is'.....during gre prep days or during regualr weekends..cudnt forget the moments we used to catch lalbagh or suburban back home.we used to keep a race between central and partk stations..obvi he finished it first..the way he sings romantic songs so passionately or the way he says ''ulti da..kalsala irunthuthu'..' for any comments...all memories flashin up my mind..esp his reaction whe someone calls him 'dino'....

last time i met him was at the city center ..same enthu..same hyperactiveness...as a caring hubby and a lovely father.... .Anandaa..will remain in our hearts ever for ur passion for whatever u do da...tthis time too u ran the race too fast and finished it first...will miss u da....u were 13 + 1 for tcv...now bharathi and uday wud be 13 + 2 for us ...

Luv
Rash

It is still hard to believe that Anand is gone. I catch myself looking up at the clock every day at 2:00pm expecting Anand to come over and ask me to go with him for a cup of coffee. We had a lot of good times here at work. I could always count on him for a laugh. The work place will never be the same without him.

I'm sorry for all the jokes I played on you and for occasionally teasing you. You were a good friend Anand and I will miss you.

"Aren't you Vivek Bhaskar?" you asked me last year near the toys isle at Target here in Peoria. I didn't recognize you at first but then it came to me pretty quickly, you were my junior at VEC. I spoke with you and Bharati for at least half an hour about things and catching up! I was pleasantly surprised to see you married and settled with a baby. I think I was also giving you some suggestions as to which brand of stroller to buy :) ...
I am shocked, saddened and I cannot believe such a young and vibrant soul like you has left us.
Our love and prayers go out to Bharati and Uday.
May you rest in peace.

Vivek Bhaskar
