DM-ji.

Thanks for attaching a flesh-and-blood portrait to name that we have read about in the papers.

Will the terrorists -- and those who drop bombs from 50,000 feet in the air -- think twice about what they are destroying?

It is eerie that always the good fellows are devoured by probability.

Dear DM ji

I have read the books written by Shanti Narayan in my Higher Secondaory days. It is sad to see another intlectual being killed by Islam. It is the consistent with later Islamic invasion to get rid of the intlectuals and terrorise the masses to submission and conversion to islam and to the congregation of a prohet of dubious distinction.

It is time for Indians to crush the Islamic Terriorism.

My condolences to you on killing of your dearest friend.

Dear Dost Mittar Jee,

Your friend was our maths teacher in engineering days 18 years back. He used to teach Maths 110 and Maths 120 in the first year. Some of the students would skip our teacher in `cycle 2` to attend his lectures in `cycle 1`.

If I recollect correctly, he was slightly `healthy` , fair and tall Punjabi guy. It is really sad that he had to die this way, when he could well have endeared himself to a fellow Punjabi from across the border. It just shows how easy it is for insanity to derecognize a human being. Or else why would a Professor, who imparts education to everyone irrespective of their religion, race, or nationality, succumb to a vicious agenda that the killer carried in his heart?

Regards.

DM - my condolences for your loss and that of a family which surely never saw this coming. For the past few years I`ve noticed that the year always ends in sorrow, whether for a few or for many. Here`s hoping for brighter tomorrows.

Like the group of fellow Punjabis from across the border running the jihadi group that was, in all likelihood, responsible for his death?

Dost ji, my condolences for this tragic loss. May Dr. Puri`s family and friends gather courage to come out of this trauma.
Such acts need to be condemned by one and all at all levels.

Attacks such as the one on IISc are clearly terrorist attacks. But they do not have any political goals, at least as far as I could make out. They are only motivated by hate, and there is no end in sight for such attacks.

Sorry to be negative on New Year`s eve.

Dear Dost Mitter,

Condolences on your loss. Only those who have experienced the loss of a dear friend can know how bad it feels. All of us here in Bangalore are united with you and Prof. Puri`s family in your grief.

I hope the perpetrators of this crime are discovered soon and get the punishment they deserve.

Thank you for sharing your memories of your friend with us. It helps us understand what a remarkable human being we have lost.
