My sincerest condolences to Mrs. Krishnan and family. Such an amazing person who served on my masters thesis committee almost 17 years to the day. As an educator he surpassed his peers in understanding and was passionate about his craft- as teacher and researcher. For many, he set the bar high and ensured that his students left better armed in knowledge than when they came. A great loss to the intelligentsia and even more to those who followed his light and inspiration. He will be missed.
