I was terribly pained to hear of the tragic demise of our dear, beloved Prof.Balasubramaniam. Though I never had the fortune of sitting in his class, but I had heard so much about him from friends, that I could easily imagine him as one of the best teachers and researchers of the Institute.We wish his family immense strength and peace in life. I was shocked upon hearing the news of his untimely demise. Prashant Kumar Meena wrote on 9th December 2009
