I am so saddened by the loss of our dear Desh. But, I know that his essence is alive in my spirit as a mentor, as a teacher, as a collegue and as a cherished friend, as he is alive in the spirit of so many others. I think of him as a young man in India organizing students in the spirit of change and equity. And I see him as an accomplished professional, older in years, but still, at the close of his professional career, organizing and leading, now his colleague-followers, in the spirit of change and equity. Life is a circle. And a brilliant life makes the brightest circle of light for us to follow. Desh is our bright sun.
