Pradeesh who works with me at Calsoft told me that Karthikeyan G has been admitted in hospital and he is in a critical situation. Karthik needed lots of blood on 14-Jul-2008 as he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Many of us went and donated blood. But, the situation never improved and it was only deteriorating. We got a call from Pradeesh at 5 PM on 15-Jul-2008 that Karthik G passed away leaving all of us in sorrow. I just wanted to recollect the days we interacted with him in tha last 17 months.
A character whom I cannot forget. He worked for Ramco systems (first job). I interviewed him for Calsoft and was stunned to see his attitude, the way he spoke, the level of honesty and boldness. I did not get into technicals but simply recommended and recruited him. He resigned Calsoft on 30-Apr-2008 after spending around 15 months in Calsoft. He joined Meryll Lynch in Chennai. He was one of the enthusiatic organizer who was part of the organizing team of our last outing to a resort. We all wish that his soul rests in peace.
