Saw his obituary in Deccan Herald today. He was a close friend and my classmate at St Joseph's. He became reclusive after a kidney transplant. I last met him in 2006 just before I returnned to India.
He was a lurker on Silk, in line with his reclusive behaviour. We called Cobs - short for COBOL which was one of his favorite programming language. He told us during college that he would go to the US and none of us believed him. After all, BSc in India is only a three year course and you needed 4 yrs after K-12 to get there. He did go there right after BSc proving all of us wrong. I know I'm ranting. So I'll stop now. I miss him. --Venkat
