Rajeev Motwani- Sergey Bryn's tribute

Sergey Bryn of Google has composed this neat tribute to his mentor, Rajeev Motwani, who drowned to death- TOO:

It has been a long time since I have updated this blog. In fact, I have been doing some research for what I thought would be my next post.


Unfortunately, life does not always give you the luxury to plan what may be close to your heart next. It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of my teacher and good friend Professor Rajeev Motwani. But I would rather not dwell on the sorrow of his death and instead celebrate his life.

Bryn completes his short and heartfelt tribute with these words:

Of all the faculty at Stanford, it is with Rajeev that I have stayed the closest and I will miss him dearly. Yet his legacy and personality lives on in the students, projects, and companies he has touched. Today, whenever you use a piece of technology, there is a good chance a little bit of Rajeev Motwani is behind it.
