In fond Memory of Manjunath (Machan) ...

Manjunath is fondly remembered by his friends as Machan. He was a loving son, a caring brother and most of all was one of the most honest and thoughtful person that we knew. He was a BE graduate from SJCE Mysore 1999 Batch and an MBA Graduate from IIM-L, 2002 batch. His exemplary talents and the warmth of his friendship drew students, teachers and the community alike to him.

He was a courageous leader and joined IOC as a sales manager in 2002 and led their sales tasks in the most honest manner. It appears it was this honesty and integrity that drove him to being brutally murdered on Saturday night November 19th 2005. Sad but this is what our system has cultivated. One honest officer trying to do his job in the right way becomes the victim of the very system he is trying to protect. He is survived by his father, mother, brother and a sister.

In this hour of grief, kind words are a soothing touch. Let us hear from everybody whose lives Manjunath has touched. Please post your condolence messages on this blog and they will be conveyed to his family.
