Remembering Manjunath
S.Manjunath ( 23-2-1978 to 19-11-2005 )

Today is his 28th birthday.

On this occasion , a few words of a poet come to mind :


Do not stand at my grave and weep:

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am the diamond glints on snow;


I am the sunlight on ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn rain;

When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight;

I am the soft stars that shine at night .

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I DID NOT DIE.


Yes Manjunath you will forever live in our thoughts and hearts and inspire us to meaningful achievements.

Today , Let us remember this gutsy and committed young Indian who truly represents the committed and value driven Gen Next of India.

True homage to this inspired Indian would be to rededicate and redouble our committment to our great Country.

Please pass this on to a few more colleagues and friends so they too once again recall Manjunath and his great sacrifice.
