Raji memories
I have very fond memories of Passovers at my Bubbe and Zeyda’s house (Doris and Stanley), when Lee and I wanted to hangout with Raji, Hari, and Ravi and watch them play billiards. Even though we were a lot younger, you all still humored us! The other memory I’d like to share is when Raji…

I will miss you Raji
Everyone who has ever met Raji has a Raji story and I count myself as one of the fortunate few to have a few Raji stories. I first met Raji in a server closet at Reuters trying to hire him to come be our SE for the company. I knew in a instant I was…

Hey Raji,
When i was 11, i moved to Ardsley, NY. I still clearly remember the day i met you, Raji. On my first day at Ardsley Middle School, I had no idea what to expect in the cafeteria. You found me and took me to where you were sitting with bunch of friends. For a stranger…

Raji and Me @ IF
I mostly know Raji through his brother Ravi, who has been one of my best friends throughout my life, and who I met in college. That said, I got to know both Raji and Hari (and their mother) over the years, and as anyone who knows the Krishaswamis can tell you, they are a tight…

NY vs. NJ
Raji is from NY. I’m from NJ. Raji is a Mets fan. I’m a Yankees fan. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that he and I were also fierce competitors on the tennis court but good friends on and off the court. He was also a big fan of the Tennessee whiskey I am…

Dansu Raji
Raji, I can’t remember exactly how or where we met in Tokyo, but I am pretty sure it was in a nightclub. We became friends instantly, you were cool as heck and easygoing, funny, and always up for an adventure. Tokyo could be a really lonely place, and I always felt cool calling you for…

Katamari Time with Raj
So many stories with Raj, so I have to start somewhere. Wikipedia tells me it had to be early Fall 2004.. Raji had just nabbed a copy of Katamari Damacy and I was headed to his apartment with a 6-pack of Grolsch. I’d read about the game and was looking forward to tracking it down.…

For Raj
It’s really only hitting me now just how long I go back with Raji and while I don’t think anyone would say that the two of us were super tight friends, we really were good friends, and got to that point even independent of the fact that he is the youngest brother of my best…

A true friend: smart, wise, colorful and fun!
Very sad to hear!! Raji was a true friend, I first met him at the newsroom at Reuters, we become pals and we played tennis a few times (a few avenue blocks from Reuters at Raji’s old apt building on 42nd street), went for drinks often and stayed in touch since. I enjoyed his stories…

The Tunnel
I wrote this poem after what I will always remember to be one of the best nights of my life, and it was all because of Raj… (A kick-boxing Johnny Rotten slipped it into my pocket during a warm embrace. It didn’t stay there long.) On a Saturday night, green country hills, seven hours away,…
