    Dear Subarna,

    My apologies for this seemingly out-of-the-blue message. I was on LinkedIn a few minutes ago when I came across a UWC-USA post honoring Hritik, and have just learned of his passing. Hritik was a wonderful, funny, genuine teacher and an...  more

    Dear Subarna,

    Living in your wada and sharing time with you and Hritik during my first project-week in Varanasi, I was able to observe the tenderness and love that you and Hritik share. There was a kindness in the way Hritik approach people; there was...  more

    Dear Subarna,

    I am so emotional thinking about Hritik. He was such a gentle soul and the most amazing human being. I simply can't imagine how God can be so cruel? I am yet to come to terms with it. I still can't answer why? It makes me angry and...  more

    Dear Subarna, for me, you and Hritik are not the teatchers but the toon parents at UWC Dilijan. I will always remember the kind way you have taken care of my son. You both have a special place in our hearts.

    Dear Hritik,

    My memories of Hritik are nothing but positive. Sharp wit and knowing smirks whenever his wife did something particularly badass. An amazing teacher and a core part of my UWC experience so far. Humour and wit and intelligence and compassion. Brilliant.
