Appreciation

Manoharan Ganeser:

A man who acted according to his conscience

Mano, as he was affectionately known to many, passed away unexpectedly three months ago. A Trinitian, he upheld all the rich traditions of his alma mater. He was a man of upright stature and courage of conviction, never mined his words but spoke out boldly and acted according to his conscience and beliefs.

In all his dealings he was straight forward and would never tolerate deception or fraud. To his parents, he was a responsible son, a caring brother to his sisters and in-laws.

Above all, he was a devoted husband to his wife, Leela. His colleagues respected him for his work ethic. Beguiling a stern exterior, he had a soft core and helped many who sought his assistance.

Although his interest in sports and newspapers was waning, during the latter stages of his life, he evinced an increased interest spiritually. Perhaps he had a premonition which he kept to himself for he had attended to most matters not leaving room for his dear wife to go from pillar to post in case of his sudden demise. Such was his devotion and forethought. Leela lost a loving husband, his siblings and in-laws a caring brother and his friends and colleagues a sincere companion and mentor. May his soul rest in peace!
