Since childhood, I saw him growing with thoughts, and though he lived most of his life in America, his trust and belief for Indian culture was really inspirational.

I met Kavi while we were on training with Accenture in St. Charles. In the first weekend, a group of us went to Chicago.

My favourite memory of that trip was on the last day when I mentioned to Kavi that I saw a movie set somewhere downtown. Immediately, he knew it was because they were filming a Bollywood movie with one of his favourite actors (Sadly I can’t remember the dude’s name). We went around trying to find the set’s location but I couldn’t remember where it was. Instead of stalking the Bolllywood film set, Kavi ended up giving me a tour of the famous movie/tv scenes set in Chicago. We walked for so long and so far away that we almost missed the train back to St. Charles!

I had only known Kavi for a week, but the generosity and kindness he showed me is something I will always remember about him.
