Neelakant1977-2010

In memory of our dearest brother and friend

Neel someone who loved people genuinely –who was always there for friends who tirelessly gave everything he had for

Pandora, EFF and PurpleTalk.

Work was his passion…he gave all he had,

most of all time. It was like he had to give it all as fast as he

could because he had to die so early.

Working away to make Education For Free a reality. Thank you Neel! The children will live and learn through what you built for them.

He loved his cabin more like no one else did. That’s probably the reason why we hardly

saw him in any parties :)

This was on a lovely outing with Pandora buddies in 2007. Guess what? He came all dressed up that day…capris and

sneakers. Loved seeing the different side of Neel.

He may not have been a big fan of social get togethers but he was always, always there for his friends. At Vijay’s

wedding (a Pandora colleague)

Blessing the newly married couple…

Being friends with the people you work with is indeed a joy!

Good times with friends.

Who can forget the dinners

with biryanis from

Annupama! And Neel was

always present coz he always worked late.

Working sleepless nights for the big EFF launch-with Nilesh, Sateesh, Banu, Vishal and Suresh.

At EFF office-demonstration with the folks from Kyan.

With Munneer—one of Neel’s best buddies.

He loved to be bullied

and hugged

With Tulasi—a

colleague at Pandora

With Srinivas and Suresh

Bullying Ranga into making a speech or something at a company outing at pragati resort.

With the boys gearing up for a cricket match…

With Gopi—keeping track of the runs.

With Balraj and Gopi—analyzing the runs

Through good times and bad times. Through Pandora, EFF and Purpletalk

forever friends--with Hari

His single shots! Watch him pose ;)

RK must have made him do this. Only HE can best buddies after all.

Going for the side look –

just guessing :p

Paying the bill. The ever generous Neel.

The lucky few who got to hang out with him.

Riwaaz day-- with Krishnan, Hari, Srinivas, Miltan and Narendra

With Sridhar and Among on their wedding day.

Neel, you touched each of our lives through your genuine love and friendship. You have been an inspiration ! We learned so much from you

and we promise you that we will make you proud!

We love and you will always live in our hearts. We miss you so much.

May your soul rest in peace.

Your loved ones at Purpletalk.
