Laxmi Kesavan: is a legend, and an angel in my life. I met Professor Kesavan at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada where I started my teaching career soon after my graduate school at the University of Saskatchewan. I was entangled with the Kesavan family instantaneously. It was a quantum-Bonding phenomenon. It started with my appointment at IITKanpur under the Kanpur Indo American Program ( KIAP). I virtually became a member of the family. It has been a divine experience. I lost my mentor prof. Kesavan, son- in- law-Srihari recently and now Laxmi, the ultimate loss. I feel very lonely now. I am one year younger than her. Most of all she adopted my son Subhash as soon as he was born as her own grandson. Her home was his first home. Rohini, Anita and Kalpana are virtually his only sisters. It has been a united family and she played a central role in my life as a matriarch.
