We have been close to of Indran, Malar and Munohari for several years as relatives and friends Indran's and Malar's love story does back many years in Sri Lanka. Malar was for a while staying as a lodger in my (Bala's) Aunt's home in Colombo. My Sisters have told me that they recall Indran frequently coming to our Aunt's home to visit Malar, during their courtship. After Thiru moved to London, she recalls the time when she was once returning to London from Sri Lanka she was requested by Indran to take a special stop in Chennai for Indran to purchase some special saris for Malar. Thiru, our young children and I lived in Rayners Lane, Middlesex in the late1970's and early 80's, close to Indran's home. We have very pleasant memories of meeting Indran, Malar and Munohari often in our homes and having some good times. Subsequently after moving to Canada, it was always a joy for us to meet with Indran and family during our visits to London. Indran had a jest for life and interest in people and things happening around him. Hence it was always a privilege to sit and converse with him. One of the projects dear to his heart was to compile his family tree. He made it a point to send his draft to Thiru's family and ask the family's input to the family tree before he published it. Our heartfelt condolences to Malar, Munohari and family at this sad time. These are the inevitable stages of our lives on this earth and maybe they will be comforted with the thought that Indran is now safely in the arms of our God, free from any further pain and physical hardship, until they meet again. Thiru and I will always retain fond memories of Indran's presence in our lives. Bala and Thiru Abraham (Toronto, Canada)
