Shrey Janardan
Shrey Janardan (2005-2022) was a brilliant and promising young writer whose poignant writings explored love, loss and existential philosophy, with a depth that far surpassed his short worldly stint of seventeen years.
Born to an air force family, Shrey grew up criss-crossing India. A free-spirited, jolly and fun-loving boy, he possessed an innate ability for empathy and reflection, qualities that endeared him to form numerous deep relationships throughout his life.
Shrey shared a significant bond with "Starla" and wrote about the essence of love profoundly. Their connection went beyond ordinary teenage affections, touching the sublime, and left an indelible mark on his writings.
Vibrant, healthy, full of life and always in motion, Shrey's journey ended abruptly as he passed away quietly in his sleep on the night of June 7, 2022, in Bangalore. He had recently recovered from Covid-19 and had taken his vaccinations a month before.
His untimely death mirrors the fates of literary greats such as Keats and Kafka, who, like him, left this world too soon but left an enduring legacy through their penetrating exploration of the human condition.
