By far one of my most favorite memories is from Hindi class. We would all go through the Hindi alphabet…A se Aam, etc and when we got to “Na” – we would say “Na se NUL” and then run to the nearest bathroom and turn on the faucet (NUL=faucet). We thought it was the coolest thing ever and we would giggle like two year olds – naturally Shekhar’s giggle was the loudest and most infectious. Then we would return to the dining table to continue the alphabet.

The first time I ever saw Kavi was when he came to orientation for Accenture. He was about an hour late due to “traffic” and freaking out. He could not get over being late, but I’m glad he was because It was the icebreaker that connected our group of analysts that started together. By the end of orientation in St. Charles/Chicago, which was 4 weeks later, Kavi was one of my closest friends. We loved comedy, movies, our siblings, and drinking. I was his wing woman, he was my protector. He made me feel safe and always looked out for me.
