Anil Bharvaney Obituary
Anil T. Bharvaney's personal geography knew no bounds. Born in Poona, India, he grew up in Kobe, Japan, went to college in San Jose, Calif., worked in New York and lived in East Windsor, N.J.
"He was at home with any culture," said Pandora Po Bharvaney, his wife, a Chinese immigrant who met Mr. Bharvaney at New York University. Wherever he was, she said, he fit in. "He was soft-spoken and could calm people down," she said. "That goes well with any culture."
He was unbounded in his interests, too. At 41, he was a senior vice president in equities trading at Instinet Corporation. On Sept. 11, he was attending a conference at Windows on the World. He liked to walk in the woods around his home and take photos. He was passionate about classical jazz, like John Coltrane. And he read philosophy, taking the Tao, the Chinese way of simplicity and selflessness, to heart. "He thought the more you give, the more you become richer," Ms. Bharvaney said. "He very much believed in it."

In Sept 2011, commemorative American flags, for the WTC vicitms, were placed on the hillside at Cannonsburg Ski Area in Rockford MI. I purchased the flag for Anil at the close of the event; it was on our flagpole in our yard until I took it down yesterday. I am sorry for your loss, and hope time has helped you keep the better and happy memories of Anil.

Was reading his legacy for school, and I would like to be part of carrying on the traits of diverse musical interests and calmness. Thank you for the inspiration.

We had a remembrance service-"A Day of Honor" yesterday in my town. They had 600 flags with all the victims names on them. They made an American Flag made out of 6,000 fabric roses. On the back of each pair of roses was a victims name. We were able to pick a pair of roses if we wanted and I picked Anil's name. We are praying for the family members and friends who are still mourning his loss.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Po, as an old neighbor of yours in East Windsor, I remember when you & Anil first moved into your house directly next door. You & Anil would have me over to taste the delights of your exotic kitchen & share friendship. I've read all the memories from Anil's friends & associates with a nod of full understanding. Anil was a gift to anyone who had the opportunity to know him. Thank you for sharing that friendship with me during those few years that we were neighbors. In thoughts of Anil, those memories are still so sweet. Bless you.

People always think about what could have been....or what should have been, before a promising life is plucked away - and that too for so no reason at all. I know in my heart Anil could have made an impact on anyone who came in contact with him and knew who he was. I said this at Steve's memorial too - I miss the essence of both these men. They were unique in their own ways. Anil's way was to do the right thing for everyone, even at his own expense, and show a quiet inner radiance and a subtle humor and intelligence while doing it. When at a crossroads, I always think about what Anil would have done in such a circumstance. I might not succeed always, but it doesn't hurt to try.
I must say, I'm also jealous of the way Anil always managed to do the right thing....but then jealousy wouldn't be one of Anil's traits!!

Rememering Anil on yet another anniversary. He was a gentle person, a kind person, a mentor, a person who lead by example. I wish this hasn't happened! Or he had been in Japan when it did.

Anil was an extraordinary person - extraordinary in integrity and leadership and in his ability to inspire people.
On this anniversary of Sept 11, my family and I are remembering him as I'm sure other people are around the world.

I guess I've signed this guest book once before - but I wanted to say something more.
The anniversary of the attacks came and went and I thought about Anil a lot. I was reading his NY Times obituary and I thought - I'd really like my son to turn out to be like him. I can think of no greater tribute to Anil. He really fitted in into any environment in the world. He thought of everyone, he acted the same with everyone and was comfortable with people of all nationalities. This was something very unique to Anil. The best compliment to him: everyone, I mean everyone, trusted him.
What I'm left wondering is: how many years does it take to develop this skill? Or is it something that you're born with and cannot be replicated?

I worked with Anil at Instinet for several years. In fact, he joined Instinet to move into a role that I was transitioning out of just before I relocated to Boston. I remember our first trip to Paris, Zurich, and Frankfurt together. At the time I did not know how "worldly" Anil was and was behaving as if I was introducing him to European travel. I soon learned that Anil was an experienced world traveller and that he was the teacher and I the student!
He was the most soft spoken man I ever met. His words were always well thought out and purposeful. I often think of how he would handle a situation and try and apply his calm, peaceful, constructive approach. He had a great sense of humor, which almost snuck up on you, because he was so quiet.
His voice is still fresh in my mind, he always began voicemails to me the same way with the same inflections in his voice, "Hi Jim, it's Anil". In print it doesn't come through, but I can still hear him loud (soft) and clear. I must have listened to the last voicemail he left for me on the evening of Sept 10 more than a couple of dozen times before it was deleted from the system. I wish I had a copy of it to hear again. His voice was very comforting.
I will always remember him and miss him very much.

We have a program where we donate blood in the name of one of our fellow Americans who was a victim of 9-11. The person whom I gave blood in the name of was Anil Bharvaney. I have read the tribute and comments about Mr. Bharvaney and feel it a privilege to be able contribute in his name. I am very impressed with the respect and warmth that his friends and fellow workers felt for him. I have especially reflected on his thought "The more you give, the more you become richer," What a wonderful way to live, and it is something I will try to use more in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Anil and my husband Stephen worked togethre for many years at Instinet and they died together attending the Risk Waters conference at windows on the world. Although I didn't know Anil well, I know that Stephen greatly respected and liked him. I have come to know Anil's wife through our shared sorrow. I know that Anil and Stephen are together watching over us, and their spirit and goodness are with us always. I offer this prayer for Anil, Po and all his family.
May the Lord bless you and keep you
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and bring you peace. Amen.

I met Anil through his trips to Asia & Japan for Instinet. My company was contracted for a number of projects by his and we got to know each other at a professional level. Anil was an absolute professional, very calm and an all round nice guy..my condolences to his family.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to
the world, and sings a silent prayer
that makes the rain cry. People dis-
appear, but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to
bed, wake up grass, and spin the
earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind-
songs, they whisper to us, don't
miss me too much. The view is nice
and I'm doing just fine.
My thoughts & prayers are with your family. May you rest in peace & continue to shine down on & watch over your loving family. Farewell Anil - you are a wonderful man
Warmest wishes,
Yvonne Mulcahy (Instinet)

I had the privelege of working with Anil for 3 years. He was a consummate professional, hard working energetic, and committed. He explained things well and remained calm and collected under very adverse circumstances. He was a very special person, and my only regret is that we couldn't work together longer. I wish him and his family well.

May Anil's enjoyment for jazz, his life and love live on in you. We are very sorry for your loss. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
