Just came to know through facebook that our dear friend Pammechchu (Vaikom Ramachandran Parameswaran) is no more, and here I was wondering why he was not posting his quota for the last few days. I fondly remember his quote 'Someone please kickstart for me...' RIP Pammechchu

Just came to know through facebook that our dear friend Pammechchu (Vakom Ramachandran Parameswaran) is no more, and here I was wondering why he was not posting his quota for the last few days. I fondly remember his quote 'Someone please kickstart for me...' RIP Pammechchu

His absence was very obvious and worried me a lot! Never suspected this, had concluded some personal work was keeping him back. How can I forget his sincere care for his net friends like me- he was worried I visited Aleppey at a season when he said the place would be like a sauna. It will take long for me to get over this sad news! May his soul rest in peace!
