Some people come into your life and leave an indelible impression.
Jibby Jacob was one such person.
From the moment we met at TGMC in Adyar in 1976, we became and remained firm friends.
His smile would light up a room and everyone liked Jibby. Everyone.
At college, there was a lady lecturer called Shrimathi Ratnam who had difficulty pronouncing Jibby’s name and she would call him Jeeppee! It still rinds in my ears.
Jibby had been on my mind for several weeks. I emailed him only to learn that he had passed on on the 16th July 2024.
It’s like a page being torn out of the story of my life. Goodbye dear friend.
