Prashanth Narra

As i sat down to pour my thoughts into this tribute, I found myself reflecting on how I came to know you, Prashanth. I think it started as a name in an email in 2005. From that point on, I came to know you as a colleague, then a coffee-break buddy, then a dear friend, then a confidant... the bond continued to grow stronger... and now you leave us as my brother. There are several stories that are circling in my head at the moment but some of my fondest memories revolve around us drinking together and talking about life and philosophy with me getting drunk and you ensuring decorum. Now I wish I had stolen a few more mid-week lunches with you... and I wish we had spent a few more evenings together. Thanks for the fun moments, the memories and most of all thanks for being a friend! I will miss you... Rest in peace, my friend.
