Dear Friends and Well-Wishers
The news of the passing away of Shri K N Ganapathy (Uma Venkatram’s father and Venkat Raman’s father-in-law) in Chennai on December 23, 2021 at the age of 98, has moved the hearts of hundreds of our friends and well-wishers all over the world. The messages of condolences that we have received over the past three days (since this story was posted) through email, text, postings on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages and several WhatsApp Groups have reinstated our belief that the world is one family. As we slowly reconcile to harsh realities of life, we are grateful to all of you for your comforting and solacing words. Kindly treat this as our expression of personal gratitude to each one of you. As you have demonstrated during the past few difficult days, we assure each of you our solidarity to you and your family in times of your need.
We also take this opportunity to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
In other words, we wish you a Happy News Year.
-Uma Venkatram and Venkat Raman
