Every death of someone close to us is very saddening. It’s at this moment that we realise just how valuable our life is & that we should make the most of our lives. But then we get back to our daily rut.

If you are now 33 & live to 70, you only have 13331 days left to live ! Let’s really make the most of them.

Afterall, what matters in life at the end of the day, coz the end “will” come one day, are the EXPERIENCES we have with FOLKS/FRIENDS/FAMILY.

Rajeev helped many and will be missed.

Only 47 years of age.
A short influential life.

Strange that one drowns in his own swimming pool.

Rajeev and I were in grad school at Berkeley at the same time – he in CS and myself next door in Material Science. Its hard to imagine that he’s no more. In the two decades since we graduated its amazing to see how much he has given to so many people. My heart goes out his family. RIP

Rajeev was instrumental in getting me to change the direction of my last startup Widcomm to a more software focus. Also helped me visualize some of the directions for RockeTalk.

Rajeev : We will miss you dearly!

I hadn’t heard so much about Rajeev but looks like he was a gem of a person.

I also liked what Sergey Brin mentioned at the beginning of his blog
“But I would rather not dwell on the sorrow of his death and instead celebrate his life.”

There is something special about all these great men. I am glad that the world still has a lot of them who keeps steering humanity and make them achieve phenomenal stuff which most of us mortals can’t even think of.

A toast to Life

RIP Rajeev. I met Rajeev in the very early days of Chegg and he was very helpful and gave us great feedback. It was amazing how down to earth he was. He will be missed…
