Mohan was our neighbor in our building. He was very friendly, warm, kind, and always had a smile on his face. He was easy to chat with and had a great sense of humor. He loved our dog MJ when MJ was still alive. He was the kind of neighbor that any person would want to have. This tragic death was so unexpected. We will miss you! Our deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace.

I met Mohan in late November and worked with him on a few projects right up until New Years Eve. For the brief time I knew him it was obvious that he was an exceptional person in many ways, an incredibly talented man with a magnetic, thoughtful personality. I will miss him. I am glad to have known him. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Tragedy. But not uncommon injury. Happened to a friend of mine in Rio on New Years. Broke his neck diving into shallow water. He lived, fortunately.

Mohan was a really great guy. I worked with him for years. I'm still shocked and incredibly sad.

Such a sad story. Someone so young and full of life. My heart breaks for his family. "Seize the day" has become a cliche but seizing the day is all we have to guide us in overcoming the feelings of vulnerability this story brings up.

I met Mohan once. He was an interesting and kind man. His co-workers loved him. His reputation was stellar. He was known to be exceptionally talented. I'm really sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
