I’m so sorry to hear the news. Sulakshana Pandit — a very dear voice and presence for many of us — has indeed passed away on 6 November 2025 at the age of 71.

Something about this crash doesn’t sit right
A Boeing 787 is one of the most advanced passenger aircraft in the world. It’s built to handle engine failures, weather, and even major system issues. Yet today, one crashed right after takeoff from Ahmedabad
What’s deeply unusual:
◾️The plane was in the air for less than a minute
◾️It reportedly didn’t climb beyond 600 feet
◾️The landing gear may not have retracted
◾️No clear distress call was received
◾️The aircraft was fully fuelled for a long-haul flight
◾️This is the first fatal crash of a 787 in commercial service
This isn’t how a modern plane is supposed to behave. Not a 787. Not under normal conditions
Something serious went wrong either with the aircraft itself, or with the checks before takeoff.
People lost their lives today. Families are waiting for answers. And the aviation system must respond with honesty, urgency, and care.

I am unable to accept the absence of Ratan Tata.
India’s economy stands on the cusp of a historic leap forward.
And Ratan’s life and work have had much to do with our being in this position.
Hence, his mentorship and guidance at this point in time would have been invaluable.
With him gone, all we can do is to commit to emulating his example. Because he was a businessman for whom financial wealth and success was most useful when it was put to the service of the global community.
Goodbye and Godspeed, Mr. T
You will not be forgotten.
Because Legends never die…
Om Shanti
