Naren's passing was personal. A while back, after decades, Naren reconnected with me, Rangaswamy Srihari and others. For the last few years, we, Naren's friends ( N.K. Ranganath, K. Sathian, K.V. Ramachandran, K. Ashok, Raghavan Rangachari, Sunil Jitendra, Murali Krishna, K.Venugopal) have tried to figure out how stay in touch. Ranga, Sathian, Venu and I were able to meet him in person and we always planned to meet in the future. Others who remember Naren, include my mother Sheila, who still lives in Chennai and remembers him from days past. We, Naren's friends, would like to remember him, in our own way, from our innocent past, and our difficulty in reconciling with his passing. Be happy, my friend. Hari
