I wrote this post when I saw the latin phrase Memento Mori (Remember that you will die). Just after that, my friend passed away and I learnt about that by accident, only four years later.
It can happen any time. It will happen to all. When my time comes, I do not want my friends to wonder why Partha does not answer mails or phone calls. All of you must have got used to the fact that I usually answer all my mails promptly and regularly. There must be a reason, if you do not get a response/reaction from me. If this ever happens to you, for an unreasonably long time :
- Send one or two reminders to my main/regular ID drpartha@gmail.com, and then try my fall-back mail ID
- Take a look at my twitter account https://twitter.com/profpartha (@profpartha)
I usually post some stuff there regularly, at least 2-3 times a week. When the tweets stop coming, the inevitable has happened. - Call up home by phone to find out.
- Find out from my next of kin :
- premap2@gmail.com
- parishramp@gmail.com
- prayathna@gmail.com
- inform all our common friends and contacts
(send this page to all who might be interested in knowing about me)
In fact, I have made arrangements such that you get an intimation automatically sometime after you send me a mail at drpartha@gmailcom.
Thank you in advance, since I cannot thank you when the time comes.
Adieu,
partha

(my 70th birthday)
We decided to take souvenirs which would be useful for us always. We chose two such amazing pieces of Chinese culture (and of course plenty of porcelains): the Abacus, and Chinese chopsticks. We (my children and I) even spent several weeks trying to master the abacus. We took an abacus for each one of us.
We bought a pair for each one of us.
I also contribute to and maintain these blogs:
