Very sorry to hear about the passing away for Prof. Parasanis. I can still the early interaction with him when I had joined IIT Kanpur way back in 1967. He was a very good teacher and helped a lot in building the Institute. I know the discussion we had in the senate for the establishment of Laser program. Please covey our heart felt condolences to the bereaved family. May God give them courage to bear the loss. May his soul rest in Peace.

Very shocking news: My son who is in US informed me a few minutes back. Really I have a lost a good friend of mine. May his soul rest in peace---T.M. Srinivasan

I am saddened to hear this news. Prof. Parasnis taught us Physics. His son was also my aprtmentment in Minneapolis. Lots of memories..... I am leaving today at 3:00PM and will be unable to join the condolence meeting. I would have very much liked to.

A beautiful soul in rest.

Let his sole rest in peace and his family should get the strength to face this unexpected event.

I pay my homage to Parasnis Sir.

Dear Madam, I am very sad to hear about this loss. My deepest heartfelt condolences to all the family members. Kindly take care of your health. Sincerely yours, Nedunchezhian D

I m student of Dr A S Parasnis during his tenure in IIITMK-Trivandrum.He taught us communication skills and also he keep us motivated and make us stay during difficult period. Really fond memories though the interaction was only few months. Condolences to his sons and prayer to the departed Soul

He is an example of how a teacher could be a strict disciplinarian as well as a caring mentor at the same time. I was his student at IIITM, Trivandrum. He has definitely made a positive influence in our lives. May his soul rest in peace. Pray that his family gets the strength to withstand the loss.

Dr. Parasnis taught us Physics 203. Highly respected for knowledge and revered as a gentleman and role model. His classes were always full of enthusiastic students. It is difficult to believe that he is no more with us. I pray to God for eternal peace to the Noble soul and all courage to the bereaved family. Neeraj B.tech student during 1979-1984

I met him during one of his visits here and he came across as a passionate teacher and administrator, whose heart and mind always was still in the IITK campus. I pray to god to give his family strength to overcome their loss. In his death IIT/K has indeed lost one more of its founding faculty members.

Doctor Saheb with his teachings and examples has certainly made me a better person. Shall miss him always.

Truly, among the Physics faculty I knew him longest. I can recall waiting in the Director's Office Annex (the HBTI's new Canteen Building) to be interviewed by the first Faculty Selection Committee. PVenkateswarlu, SC Sen, GS Verma and Hari Mohan were also there. Hari Mohan was also appointed but he preferred to join Allahabad University. Out of this group I was the youngest and perhaps that is why I am here still recounting the event. Sen and Parasnis joined immediately (July or August 1960), I and Venkateswarlu joined in January, February 1961. Dayal Saran and Sareen were already teaching and eventually joined Parasnis and you & Venkteswarlu (jointly) respectively earned their PhD degree and became full fledged faculty members a few years later. Old times! --- Ramesh

Both Tara and I With Nandita will deeoly miss Anna as he prefered to be called. Our friend Philosopher and guid. I envied him for all his vetues, tried to emulate some but failed as only one of his kind is made. Deeply concerned about Meera,proud of Vikram an Kausik ,their wives and grand children who we hardly met but felt as if I knew them. I was to go up the hill with him and his friends but it was not to be. It is a great loss and we will always remember him. Hema

Arvind was a great colleague, close friend and more than anything else a sincere teacher. I was fortunate to have worked with him for more than a decade at IIT Kanpur. What most of us remember about Arvind is that he was punctual and fastidious in everything he did. He was a pillar of IIT Kanpur. Lakshmi and I convey our condolences to Meera, Kaushik and Gautam.

I knew Prof.Parasnis through my father Dr.G.N.Acharya who was a classmate. My father and Prof. Parasnis travelled together on the same ship to England in the 1950s. Prof.Parasnis was an ideal perfectionist and was precise in everything he said and did. May his soul rest in peace.

very sad news. deepest heartfelt condolences to family members

we really respect prof a.s.pranasis for his valuable contribution in the field of science and technology and also for the ispiration that his name gives to the young scientists and engineers.

I met Professor Parasnis at Laser Technology Department Day on 30th Dec 2010. He was the person who laid the foundation of Laser Technology at IITK. In just one meeting, I was fan of him. But at that time we was little sad due to poor condition of Laser department at IITK. And I assured him on behalf of student community that we will keep his vision alive. We really lost a great visionary but his blessing and support will be with us alwyas.
