I am shocked and devastated to know that my Safety colleague, and a very good friend, Paritosh V of Clariant India, Hyderabad, passed away due to Massive Cardiac Arrest on Friday, 4th Aug 2023 at Hyderabad. I am still coming to terms with this reeling news which reached me, 2 hrs back.
Paritosh was 43. He leaves behind his wife, 2 young daughters as well as his father.
Paritosh interacted with me on a day-in and day-out basis for 9 months for significant improvements at the Clariant, Bonthapally site, (I was there 20 days a month to support) during 2017-18. He had since moved to the Energy and Sustainability aspects of the site (Being an Electrical Engineering graduate!).
My ever-lasting memory of him will be that most of our conversations were always in Gujarati, a language he was very fluent in (He being motherless from a very young age, was brought up by Gujarati neighbors in his hometown, Adilabad near Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh!)
Paritosh spoke to me a few weeks back when I was in the USA and he was to come back on certain aspects. That call will now never come.
Strange is god’s way. Wonder how fragile life is!
May God give ATHMA SHANTI to his Soul and courage to the family to bear this irreparable/irreplaceable loss!!
Devastatingly yours……
Karthik.
