Dr. Coimbatore Venkateswaran "Ish" Iswaran

My Ish,
It has been 8 monhs now and my grief has placed itself neatly in my heart-- days into nights I am missing you without end--- I know you rest with the Lord and watch over me--- I miss you all the way to God, my little brown boy.
I love you still,
your,Annie "pi" pie--- -

MY sweet Ishie it has been 6 months now since you gave up your spirit here in my woodland home-- and I am still lost without you--- you have left me treasures that I am still finding, hundreds of notes from you to me, cards, letters, emails, clothes, hats, videos, pictures that are with me each day of my grief and my lost life-- these are the sad days for me-- I cant fathom that I am living without seeing you, hearing you call me Annie pie, having you watch me sing in chruch come with me...

It has been nearly 2 months since I lost my dearest Ishie as he let me call him. I can no longer live in my home for it is so painful for me to walk by the room where he took his last breath, to look out and see all the wonderful times and things we did together as best friends on my property. It was my home in deed name but it was his in spirit and from my heart, for it is written in the Bible, a book that Ish and I both beleived in and worshiped from that when a man needs a coat, give him...

Sekar’s Sashtiabdapurthi (60TH birthday)

Sekar completed 60 years on 17th July 2008 (according to Indian calendar, and on 20th July 2008, according to the English calendar) and he celebrated the occasion (what we call ‘Sashtiabdapurthi’, meaning literally completion of 60 years).

Sixty years in a man’s life is an important landmark. It is actually a period when further extension of life is sought for through rituals and prayers.

We (Amma and I), who were on a...

Ichu and I were classmates in Madrasi School, Lodi Road that my Dad Late Mr. M.K.Sivasubramanian built way back in 1950's. We were also in the same class where we learnt Sanskrit that he was always good at. We were in IIT together. I was in the Elec. Eng section. I last met him in Madras when we were together for 40th year get together. I am in Vancouver, B.C. , Canada.
Please accept our deepest condolences to all in the family. may his soul rest in peace.

I was shocked to hear about Eachu after three decades. It was a pleasure meeting Eachu in Orlando. The inimitable Eachu hadn’t changed a bit ..
We recalled Saraswathy hostel days..Eachu occasionally used to drop into my room and invariably swipe a book from my shelf with an audacious yell ' It is your responsibility to claim it back, not mine to return!!'..
Compilation of Eachu posts (specially the Rambo_Eachu dialogs) could be a fitting "Eachu memoirs”.

It was shocking news, though I have not seen him since 1969. May his soul rest in peace. Don't you feel that all of us require a less stressful life after sixty, especially having slogged all through life? Of course the ultimate is in the hands of the almighty.

I was shocked to know the sudden demise of Iswaran. He had a special love hate relationship with me during our campus times and quite close to me.

Very sad to read about the loss of an active member of the group, Easwaran. May his soul rest in peace.
