We are happy to share some excerpts from the enriched life of our son Tushar (Tom) Zacharia. Although he was exceptionally brilliant and had wonderful qualities and maturity, he always used to shy away from limelight dismissing those adjectives....but he always used to claim that he had the uncanny ability to balance his time, be it for studies, for his family or for his friends ....he touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with..leaving an indelible mark.... I quote from his teachers "Tom was an iconic figure. He was brilliant, kind, loving, fun, funny, friendly, brotherly, helpful and most of all he was well loved by all of us who he was part of their life." "Everyone who knew him was amazed at his intellect, wisdom and kindness, We all knew he was destined for big things. But this promise was nipped in the bud. Too often we don't realize such gifted people are human too. I saw Tom handled extreme disappointment on two occasions. The grace and good will with which he conducted himself exceed anything I have ever witnessed from a student and most adults I know. He was always able to look at the big picture and not get lost in the details of life. Yet, I know he hurt but he never let disappointment rule him. This is one of the qualities have been alluded to here in many of the posts, I am certain the world is less today without his presence." Keep well son....we will live the rest of our lives in the fondest memories you have left us with. -Dad, Mom and Tresa
