 Our thoughts and prayers are with the Melwani family at this time.

We have had a long history with Shabnam especially - when we first moved to Singapore, we lived around the corner from the Melwanis, and Shabnam offered us a ride with her to work at MTV together.

We worked together closely at MTV, and would always look forward to the Melwani's annual Diwali celebrations.

Donna and I did not know Moti that well, apart from seeing him as the generous host at his home, but if there is any truth that your children are a reflection of the person you are, and the values you stand for, then Moti must be a proud man, looking down upon his beautiful family.
