Sweet, Innocent, Caring - full of humanity and love for those around her". These are some of the terms almost everyone uses when they recollect their interactions with Nanditha, or Nandhi as we fondly called her.

From the day she entered college, proudly accompanied by her grandparents and mother, she took on the role of taking care of us, be it with snacks that her mom lovingly made or admonishing us if we fared badly in exams, or worse, had arrears (which some of us constantly did!). We got back in touch with her recently and found her to be the same caring person she always had been.

She was a refreshing change in a world that's in a pointless rush to achieve financial goals! But unfortunately, fate did not let us have more time with her. Her failing health ultimately took her away from us early on, leaving us with cherished memories of her caring nature and sweet demeanor.
