Sharing a sad news: Prof. Priti Shankar of CSA, IISc is no more!
She was the first teacher whose lecture I had attended during my stay in IISc. I feel indebted to all the support she had provided during my early and most difficult days in IISc. Throughout her days she has inspired innumerable students as a great human-being, teacher, researcher and as a woman. And beyond her time, she will continue to do so.
Really a sad news. She was also in my interview panel. I knew how you used to tell how helpful she was to you.
ReplyDeleteV saddened to know the news....have and will always cherish the few conversations with prof priti....She will remain in our hearts always....
ReplyDeleteShe was such a motherly figure and radiated warmth and comfort around her. I was fortunate to spend some priceless moments during her last few months and she continued to inspire others even in her suffering. I guess she did her best to prepare all her students that very soon, she wont be around. with deep sadness, i have to say, she not only showed how to live, but also how to die.
