I was shocked to hear about Sanjeev’s passing. His parents and mine were close friends in Mysore. Growing up on CFTRI campus, we knew most families but the Nairs and the Ramanathans had a special connection! I saw Malati aunty in Mysore in 2015 when she visited my mom after my dad passed away. She was so proud of her two bright and friendly sons, Sanjeev and Manoj!
My mom, Leela, and sister Geetha Natarajan, join me in conveying our sincere condolences to Rani, Rohan, Sameer, Malati aunty and Manoj.
