Oh Neel... the last time we hung out was at your apartment in Kirby with Minhas the day before NYE.  It a long time ago but it was a good time and I will always remember you. 

Hey folks. Neel and I went to school together in 8th grade. He was my buddy. Dude made me laugh. He was actually the first person to ever make me laugh so hard I cried! I'd been curious what Neel had been up to over the years, and I just now found this. Sending my love.

Voir-tu dans l'espace. 

I will always remember the times we partied during New Years to celebrate Neel's birthday and NYE. His smile and laugh was infectious and brought happiness to those around him. Rest in peace bro and will miss you.

I know Neil as someone who lived independently in New York  , very close to his parents , very successfull in his work  domain and would go out of his way to help his friend and family. Someone as special as him will  never be forgotten .He will always remain in our hearts forever.  May his soul Rest In Peace . 

I've known Neel since we were babies, and it saddens me deeply that he's gone now. I have so many fond memories of us as kids, all of us celebrating birthdays and holidays together. Our families even traveled to India together once in 94, and while staying at the fancy hotel Manali, Neel taught me how to mix coffee into our hot chocolate mugs so that our parents wouldn't be angry we were drinking coffee. We stayed friends through junior high, and he was the only boy my parents wouldn't mind calling the house because "it was just Neel".  We lost touch into adulthood, as people tend to do, but every time we reunited, Neel was still the same Neel: happy, gregarious, and kind. All of my love and prayers to Jagruti aunty, Manoj uncle, and Alok. May his spirit continue to live on <3

Neel you were full of life and a true rockstar. You will always remain in our hearts forever. We love you 

Neel - the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of him is his smile which was very infectious. He was a person who lived for today and maybe that’s what life is all about to live in today. 
I have a lot of memories of him as a cousin but the distinct memory I have of him is he used to call me hemu the shamu( the whale) and That would just bring a big smile to my face .
U will always be loved and missed. 

Neel was my little cousin . I have seen him grow up and was always upto some mischief whenever he visited india as a child . He was a bundle of energy then . As he grew over the years  I saw him become an intelligent young man , ready to help always ,. He was a man of few words but always smiling and laughing . His smart and handsome demeanour always attracted attention . He will remain in my heart as my little cousin brother forever . Neel ...... your infectious smile will always inspire me to live life to fullest . May your onward journey take you to new heights of peace and happiness 

With fondness 
Bela ........ 

Neel was a friend a brother , the best guy I had ever known , he was full of life , enjoyed every moment of his life to the fullest , he was too good at technology , from cars n gadgets he got to have the best , he was a achiever , Love u neel a lot , u will be missed by all 

Neel is my lil cousin, who has always been a friend to me. He lived his life like a true rockstar. Growing up he was always the first to share about any new gadget or technology that came out there. I remember our trips to Astro world, the countless hours of Mario Brothers on Nintendo, where it was almost impossible to get him off the  TV. He introduced me to the game of basketball and I remember the rockets winning the NBA that year.

No words will ever be able to express the void he has left behind, his laughter and giggle were very infectious. Even my friends who have met him only a handful amount of time were quick to call and ask about him as they all remember the compassionate and fun Neel they have played and interacted with.

He will be dearly missed and may his soul rest in peace. 

I met Neel when we were kids through my cousins Ruchin and Hetal. We had stayed at his home in Houston . He had welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. He made our stay so much fun - taking us bowling, movies , our favourite places to eat etc . He will be missed immensely by his loved ones, but even after so many years I remember him as such a helpful guy- may his soul rest in peace 🙏
