University Obituary

Photo by Fey Marin on Unsplash From Prabhakar: Not willing to take the news of the passing away of my senior Sriram Athri, I took out my cell phone and called his number... Jaishree, his wife confirmed of Sriram's demise a month ago, after his very bravely fighting cancer for two years.

May you Rest in Peace, friend, mentor, MCC luminary alumnus - Sriram Athri

(a double thakali juice podimas would put you down by Rs 1.75 then). I remember one day trying to deter this theft of valuables by quickly burying the scrambleware under some pieces of parotta soaked in mutton chalna. To my dismay all this precaution was of little help... The gang had not missed the coverup act;- did not pass over - instead the thugs digged deep into the heap of egg, meat and wheat, and well nigh polished the plate clean... then they had the cheek (an...
