Ajja has been such an integral part of my life and he has shaped my identity in innumerable ways. His positive outlook, cheerfulness and empathy is something I will always cherish. My very first memories of my childhood involve him. I remember he would take me to play slides in the park. We would watch white birds fly by every evening at his Krishnamurthy puram home. He would leave no stone unturned to keep me happy. One time when I was around four years old, I remember losing a small bead and he spent a long time searching it with me. He had such immense patience!
He inspired me in multiple ways. He nurtured and encouraged my love for math and he understood how much math is now an integral part of my life. He always believed in me. This one time after high school, I had entrusted him to check out my IIT-JEE entrance results since mom, dad, Amod and I were on a long trip to Europe during the time the results came out. Unfortunately the result turned out to be negative, but he would not believe it. He knew how hard I had worked and he believed in my ability, so he kept scanning newspapers for the results and saw my name one day in a newspaper. It turns out I had made a small error in giving my information, which led to the erroneous negative result! It is amazing how much he believed in me! He was really proud of me when he saw my good performance in IIT and CET entrance exams and he told me that he was overjoyed to give interviews to newspaper crews on my behalf. He said he was privileged to have me as his grand daugther, but Ajja! it has been my privilege to have such an ardent supporter!
Ajja never ever tried to limit my dreams because of my gender and he immediately understood that I was not ready for marriage and asked everyone to back off and not pressure me. Of course, my mom and my Ajji are prime examples of strong women who have made great strides and been my role models, and Ajja played no small role in making that happen; he gave them room to grow into their own unique identities. He encouraged me to pursue higher studies and do well in my career, and yet, he cried profusely when I had to leave for studies abroad! He never hid his emotions and was able to connect so well with his feelings; his love was undying and it will continue to live with us. Even when he was suffering towards the end, he tried his best to remain cheerful and have a positive outlook. Ajja, I don't believe in afterlife, but I definitely believe that you are alive within us, and I will continue to cherish your memory and your ideals for as long as I am around. I was immensely lucky to have u as my Ajja! .... Luv, Anima.
The demise of my beloved teaher has saddened my heart. I pray almighty to provide strenght to all the family members to bear this loss.YKN will always be cherished in my memories.
Each one has to depart some day. One is remembered for what one leaves behind as a contribution to the society at large. Being a maths teacher, sri ykn has left his mark in his innumerable students as his contribution. In particular the quality of persons one has contributed leaves a lasting impression. Sri ykn has given to society such jewels as Kirana and her pearls (Animasri and Amod), Rakesh and his diamonds(Vinayak and Vibha) who are serving the society with dedication. In fact sri YKN has given back more than he has received from God. No doubt that he will be well rested. My humble prayers in absence. Shankara
