(The photographs of Anil with his parents are exactly as we remember him at school.) The cricket metaphor describes Anil well. He displayed his talent, his technique and his temperament in the way he played and the way he worked. And his pasion for cricket stayed with him through college and beyond.
We reconnected about 12 years ago thanks to a family pretext for visits to the Bay area. He never turned down the opportunity to meet. His quiet demeanor communicated very well.
The Scindia and Madhav House community is distressed to learn about his passing. The years we spent at Scindia instilled a sense of togetherness that transcends distance, time and active contact. And this creates an expectation of permanence. Which has now been shattered.
We feel the loss deeply.
On behalf of the Scindia and Madhav House community,
Humbly and Respectfully submitted,
Prashant Prabhu less
Shy; socially conscious; hated bullying; and injustice by the privileged against the poor; concerned and caring about people around him, are the qualities that immediately come to mind about Anil but can any one sum up any complex human being in a few words ?
Shocked to hear of his passing. He was always fit and health conscious. There was never any talk of retirement. He enjoyed and was immersed in his work. We have so many happy memories with him. Will miss him.
