We want to remember the good memories we have of Gaurav. Please remember him in your prayers. No flowers please. We lost our beloved son, brother, brother in law, nephew and good friend Dr. Gaurav Verma in a tragic accident on July 14, 2018. A brilliant student, he won many laurels in his chosen field. He had a passion for reading, music, tennis and cricket. He could talk hours and carry on a conversation for an endless amount of time. An obedient son, a loving brother and a loyal friend, it is an irreparable loss to all. He left a lasting impression on everyone who got to know him. His friends and family loved him. He will always be remembered and loved dearly.

    My condolences to uncle,auntie and your sister .
    Om shanti shanti

  2. Doc .. you are the most dynamic figure who engaged us at multiple levels, from music to books, conversations, and most importantly with creativity and the experiences. You are always with us

  3. Doc, you have been in my thoughts many a times in the past few years, where I have wondered how you are doing, since you left India and hoped that we would meet again sometime. You were one of the few kind, creative, energetic and brilliant people I have know in my life! I have many fond memories with you! You will be missed.

  4. So sorry to hear the sad news. Gaurav was a happy go lucky guy. He was in my wing in the hostel. Altho much younger to me we connected well becoz he came from the same city chandigarh where I came from. Our families also knew each other. But somehow lost touch with him after I left aiims in 1995. Always wanted to reconnect but alas it was not to be.. RIP Gaurav. May the Almighty grant strength to bear this loss.

  5. Dear Tayiji and Tayaji, I am terribly sorry to hear about passing of Gaurav. May my condolences bring you consolation and peace during this painful time.

  6. My dear friend (LML): I will miss those lovely times that we spent together in AIIMS. Your genius mind (with utmost potential) defines you in my mind and this sad news leaves a big void. I will always remember that infectious laughter with a pride that I got a chance to interact with this beautiful mind. With my most sincere condolences to the family, Shailender

  7. Dear Tayaji and Tayiji, deeply saddened by the news of Gaurav’s passing. My sincere condolences. May God give you comfort and peace.

  8. Dear Gaurav, have fond memories of you in school as a young boy. I borrowed your notebook to update my class work. You had beautiful handwriting.
    Aman, Aasheesh, Neeraj Gaurav and Nikhil were the aces in the class.
    We have all been discussing about you for the last few years – maybe work kept you busy.
    Last we knew you were in AIIMS.
    All of us remember you and will miss you.

  9. Gaurav- deepest condolences. I have very fond and vivid memories of our childhood and school years. I’m kicking myself for not trying to reach out to you earlier as i live in the bay area as well. RIP my friend

  10. Doc … have such fond memories with you’ though short’ but were extraordinarily creative and unique. Extremely sad to learn you are not with us… but You are always be with us’… deep regards and condolences to your family and all friends. Doc will always live on !

  11. Dear Gaurav , I have always known you as a brilliant student during our high school days. I miss not carching up with you earlier on when I was in Bay Area..

    May you rest in eternal peace.
    Deepest Condolences to your family.

  12. Dear Gaurav,

    I have known you during our AIIMS days. You have helped me many times with my GRE and TOEFL examinations, and I always remember that. I have always respected you for your intelligence. Apart from our interactions during hostel parties, I also thoroughly enjoyed having philosophical discussions and learning your world views. I wish you eternal bliss and peace.

  13. Gaurav bhaiya ..my most favorite bhai ..As a kid, a teenager & a woman today, I have always been in awe of you..I always remember you as a sharp, brilliant guy with such a hearty laughter. Your wit could crack anyone up. The moment I would get to know that bhaiya is in town, I would come running from my hostel to your place. We would have a laugh riot with our endless chats about almost everything under the roof, specially food, music & movies. I was so glad when I saw you bonding so well with Manish. Every girl will want her brother to gel well with her husband.

    When we met last time in Boston, I felt so proud of you & all your achievements. I have always been very proud of you but somehow, during that meeting, I felt that you are probably in a very happy space. And just when things were going just perfect, a big, bad news hit me in a way that is somewhat indescribable. I have mixed emotions of extreme sadness, deep pain and even rage at Almighty. I really want Him to give me those small moments of affection, those warm hugs back. There is a void, deep inside my heart that can never be filled. Rakhi & Bhai Dooj are never going to be the same for me. You left me a voice message last Rakhi. Of course, we had our regular, mad, lively chat following your voice message. Thankfully I still have that voice message with me & I am going to cherish my bhai’s message for my lifetime.

    Travel well to heaven my angel bro and keep all the angels around happy with your cheerful ways & sense of humor. Love you loads. Miss you heaps !!

  14. You were one of the few people i really admired. We only met couple of times but it was always amazing and left a lasting impression. I still could not believe it happened. You will always be in our thoughts and we will miss you a lot.

  15. GV: The time spent with you in AIIMS was very beautiful. I learned the man GV, your intellect, sense of humor and thoughts about life and love for music was very impressive.
    Miss you man, Rajbir

  16. Hi Kirti and Shailendra, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our sincere condolences.

  17. Gaurav – As your name goes, you were the Pride of our family and you will always be the pride of our family.You achieved so much and we all are so proud of your achievements.You have left us all grief-stricken. This harsh blow from the Almighty has left all of us broken. Words can not express our sorrow and pain.
    They say time heals all wounds, but your going away suddenly and untimely is not an easy to heal wound.
    Whenever I think of you, I can only recall your smiling face, a brilliant mind and a down to earth persona. We will always miss you beta.
    We will remember you fondly with the best of your memories that we have, but it is easier said than done.

    Sending all our love and prayers for you.

  18. He was no doubt a super intelligent boy. His untimely death has once again reminded us how helpless we are in the hands of nature. We pray to God almighty to grant eternal peace to the departed soul. We pray to give courage to mamaji & mamiji to bear this unbearable loss. We have to accept whatever God has given us & pray for him where ever he is.

  20. What should i call it…a bolt from the blue,a cruel jolt a cruel shock by the indifferent the callous destiny or the heavenly power, my gora dada my own gora dada, the brilliant scientist at the havard university breathed his last on 14 July. Known as Gaurav in real life my sister’s son has n sadly had always been the GAURAV- the pride of the family n he could have become the pride of India after the completion of his research in medical science at Havard. He left at noon leaving us in the dark ditches of sorrow n gloom. My sister Usha says she is now the poorest woman on the earth. The other day she was thinking of buying him a flat in America. Oh my God it seems very difficult to bow to Your will. Dear Usha,JC, Buntoo n Shailendra,a person has to bear such sorrows with fortitude. At times such words seem to be futile but what else can be done. he has and will always remain in our thoughts and prayers. Mami, Mamu and family.

    May god give strength to the family to handle this devastating loss
    Rest In Peace we will miss you.

  22. Dear Ushaji,
    We are shocked at the news we heard yesterday from Vishal, our son. We still cannot believe it, but have to surrender ourselves to His will. We always remember you and Gaurav with great affection and fond memories. Pitaji (Principal BS Bahl) had great affection and regards for you, and considered you part of our family. Gaurav and Vishal studied together in St John’s. Since yesterday, all their childhood memories have encompassed us, and this news has left us deeply sad.

    Please accept our deepest condolences. Though far away in Chandigarh, we stand by you. May Grace give you and everyone in the family strength to bear this loss. Gaurav beta, our blessings for the onward journey. You will always be remembered very fondly, beta. You are a true Gem.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Madhu and Arun Bahl

There are times when I really crave for those warm and protective hugs…I so wish I could steal some more… Heaven is just so lucky to have an angel as witty & affectionate as my bhai…Although, I miss you each and every day, sadness hit me even more as it was your b’day y’day..I only wish you happiness, wherever you are… Happy birthday in heaven, dear bhaiya!

    Miss you loads…love u always..

  37. I am deeply shocked by the untimely demise of a brilliant doctor from Chandigarh. Dr Verma was my senior at DAV college Chandigarh.
    I met him in 1994 at Professor Sood’s house in sector 15 where Gaurav had come to share his success story with us.
    He will be remembered as legend always. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

  38. Gaurav… I cherish the times we had together in AIIMS as well as in US. The countless fun evenings, laughs and our conversations is something I will always remember. You were a beautiful soul with a brilliant mind and I thank God for your presence in our lives which were greatly enriched on account of it. Travel well my friend to your heavenly abode. May God give strength to your family to bear this great loss.
