Pt. Nehru’s famous speech:

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance….. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again

It is said that ‘A nation that forgets its heroes is a nation destined to be forgotten‘ . Spare a thought for those who made it possible for us. Spare a thought for the martyrs of the freedom movement.

Aye Mere Vatan Ke Logon
Zara Aankh Mein Bhar Lo Paani
Jo Shaheed Hue Hain Unki
Zara Yaad Karo Qurbaani

K.T Ligesh, Founder of LxLabs.com (creator of HyperVM) committed suicide yesterday at his residence at HSR Layout, Bangalore.

I’m shocked… what a waste of precious talent!

I dont know Ligesh all that well, but I have met him a few times (a few years ago) and my recollections are that he was smart, super-enthusiastic & weird.
I do remember discussing a rather complex engineering problem with him and he was really sharp. He offered some very good advice… for free.

He was extremely passionate about his work at lxlabs and I doubt if he had any other interests.
I cant believe that a man of his intellect could commit a blunder of this magnitude.

God bless his Soul!
