Sunayana Dumala Facebook post:
This is my first official blog post on Facebook, and it is with a heavy heart that I write these words. On the dreadful night of Wednesday, February 22, 2017, I lost my husband â € "my soul mate â €" my friend and my confidant. He was an inspiration, a support not only for me but for any and everything he needs to know. He always had a smile for everyone, especially all respected his elders. We met then connected to an online portal called Orkut â € "not to face conventional induction face and started liking each other instantly. He was so charming that I could not resist each other through mutual friends in August 2006I'm the baby of my home, the youngest with two older sisters. I grew up to be a carefree child. It was Srinivas give me the courage to get my dream to the US and study, which to me the person I am now â € "an independent, self-sufficient and strong woman made after gave pursuit. I started working only recently, May 2016. He had reached an important role in me a job, always encouraging and working with me even though my disappointment, especially as I was back started playing after 4 years of a career.
His passion was to continuously innovate in the aviation industry. Here in America, he began his career at Rockwell Collins, and he was working on Flight Control System especially in Primary Flight Control Computer that how flights work would change with improved performance. He devoted his life to this development. There were days when he used to come home for dinner only and late for work again - only back around 2 or 3 in the morning. He was very happy with Rockwell and found life in a small town like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. But we decided to move from there to a bigger city so that I could get a job and be able to pursue my dreams, as he was able to do for themselves. Kansas was our immediate choice, and we moved with a lot of dreams here. We built our dream home, which he painted, and the installation of the garage door. Doing any kind of work at home gave him immense joy. This was the house that he had built up € A "for us and no children we would have- was our first step towards the start of our family. It is so unfortunate that this our company's dream is shattered. All this, as a result of a person who does not think of the consequences of his action would have on the family of the victim. when the police came to our house that evening and gave me the news of the life of my husband his way through a random shooter taken, I could not believe their words, it was so surreal. I asked them repeatedly, "Are you sure?", "you Have to tell the truth?", "Did you see the man you talking about? '" can you identify me a picture? "," Is the man that you are over 6 '2' '? They were just nod say. With no family here in Kansas and his brother in Dallas, my immediate response was to call his brother. When I called the police to him to say what had just told me that he thought I was joking.
My friends were by my side and not let me down, even for a second. Friends drove from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Minnesota, and St. Louis. Many flew from Denver, California and New Jersey for a final farewell to their beloved and best friend who always just kindly tell them. Both aunts from New Jersey and New York came to take care of me and him.
He would have turned 33 on March 9, and we were planning to fly to New Jersey for the involvement of his nephew. He was excited and eagerly waiting for the event, and we plan to shop this past weekend for the trip. Was different, I was on my way to India with him in a coffin.
We married after six years of close friendship, and it was not an easy process. He had not only parents, but also to convince me. He met my family several times to convince them that he is able and suitable belonged to their beloved daughter. He answered their questions with a smile on his face. His charm was such that he immediately became one of the members of my family and was their favorite son-in-law, brother-in-law and uncle. It is still unbelievable that he's not here.
He found happiness in simple things. One of his favorite pastimes was TV that he looked watch with such passion and intensity. His favorite shows were lately Person of Interest and Indian Idol. He was a family man and like home cooked meals to eat. Every night, I used to pack lunch for him and myself. He used to hate packing for himself and used not to do the funniest statements me for this. He would say, "If I pack my lunch, I would know what I would eat later, but when you get it, I will have the element of surprise.." If someone gave him a heartful meal, he would bless saying that person, "Anna datha sukkhi bhava" (a saying in Telugu that translates to: "You made my heart happy with the food, so may God bless you "). This was something picked up many of his friends of his.
He really enjoyed Arnab Goswami during his lunch at work and was eagerly waiting for him to come.
He loved children and was an instant favorite of every child. We were planning to expand our own family and had an appointment with the doctor only had a few weeks ago. One of the last thoughts he shared with me were 'Nani (his nickname for me), we should save money if we have to eventually go in vitro to become pregnant. " I write this as it sinks in that this our company's dream is shattered. I wish we could see a child of our own who I Srinivas and make at least had him as Srinu.
He always cared about what was around him, and he was very proud of Mr. Narendra Modi ji and India. He was convinced that India had finally found the leader that India could make shine. This seems unreal, but I know that because there was not a day that ended without him watching the news or reading several newspapers before bedtime.
Srinu was the epitome of optimism. That was his motto. I remember asking him why he had chosen to pursue digital signal processing and electrical engineering for his master's degree. He said: "I scored less in that subject in Bachelors of Technology and wanted to examine why I got a lower score." That was his optimism.
He was very happy to Sushma Swaraj see as the foreign minister â € "such a brave and courageous woman, and how quickly they responded to people in need. He has never thought he would be one of them someday . But knowing that my Srinu, he did not help himself very proud of you for us and his family in crisis. Thank you again, ma'am. I wish I could meet you and Mr. Modi ji and posthumously share his joy.
He was always concerned about immigration and its laws. He followed them closely over the Internet. There were days when he used to talk about how it's been many years since we applied for our permanent residency card, and he did not know how long we have to wait. He used to say that one would give him even more to discover his passion the opportunity for the aviation industry. He closely monitoring the H4 EAD rule and did what he could do in his capacity for the rule to be passed - not just for me but for every woman and for those seeking a career and a chance to make their dreams come true. He was filled with joy when the rule over and was so happy that he said. "Nani, now you can work, it is not that we need the money, but it is so that you can follow your dreams and make your parents proud on its own.
both of us were worried, and many times I spoke my heart to him. We came here to achieve and fulfill our dreams. He assured me that if we always think well, to be good, then goodHis father had a very low income jobs, and Srinivas was the middle son of three sons. There was not a day that went without mentioning him how hard his father worked to his sons the way they are making today, and that he would have to do much for his parents. I am sure, Srinu that you made them proud, and I wish you did not have to leave us. He was a loving brother to both his brothers and sisters, especially the young, whom he treated like his own son more than a brother. He was delighted when the youngest married back in November 2015.
From what I know or heard from his parents, himself and his brothers, all three brothers were very naughty. I remember him saying that when the three began to laugh, they would panic, that in the next five minutes would be a fight and something would be broken in the house. If their father was very strict and always wanted them to focus on teaching, he would always push them to study and much time would have to run after them to let them sit for their studies. The youngest and oldest always managed to escape the first, and Srinu, would always stay behind and get the scolding of all three brothers.
As I mentioned in the press meet, when there was an incident with someone dies, will happen to us and that we will be safe. He used to hug me tightly and sleep this assurance me. Srinu, now I have got used to the warm hug, I might not be able to sleep. That was the only place in the world I could sleep without any worries or tensions.
I was able to see random acts of kindness at the Kansas City airport when people recognize me and hugged me. I met a dermatologist who said I changed the purpose of her life. Maybe that was to spread the first victory in this battle for love.
I think I can continue to write and finish a book, but that's still not enough to talk about you and the love you spread around. I'm still working on that one night I was digesting a widow of a woman.
Srinu, my love, I know how to be able to fill the void I made up my life, but I promise you I'll never let you down. It's so funny that you're my editor for all major email I had written, but now, for the first time, I'm having to do it themselves.
I love you, and you are always going to be MINE.
I wish you had come home when I asked for tea. I have many unanswered questions, and I wish you would answer them, but the only way I could get those answers now is to come to you and your new home on the other side. I do not know when that day will come.
My sincere thanks to all of those who help us deal with this loss. I thank, Garmin and its employees to perform the wake and causing me to speak and share my Srinivas with you all.
Thanks to Mr. Cliff Pemble, CEO of Garmin, for speaking such kind words about my husband and his contribution to Garmin. I can make my happiness that you came to my house not to express to pay their last respects to him, held my hand, and went around the house to hear his stories. This shows me how important it was for the company. Even Didier, Dave, Phil, Patrick, Garmin Legal Team, HR Team, and all who are in the room during the wake, thank you very much for your support.
Thanks to Mr. Frank, CEO of Intouch Solutions, to assure me that I can take a long time and still come back and continue my work. Thank you for coming home, and the provision of the personal message. Thanks Katema, David, and every employee of Intouch Solutions, who came to comfort me and gave me the same assurance.
Thanks to the Mayor for your kind words, gives us the certainty and making a personal visit to the home. Also, thank you for making us the privacy we asked to receive. I was told by Congressmen Yoder and Senator Moran you were trying to reach me. Thank you very much for your concern and for working on my immigration status. This is my Srinu's dream, and it's the least I could do for my Srinivas - to fulfill his dreams through my eyes - and it is for this I have come back to the US.
Thanks Detectives and District Attorney Steve for working hard on this case and finding the culprit. I know you will make sure that justice is served.
Thanks to the medical team that worked on Srinu and tried hard to get him back revived. I really wish that your efforts had succeeded and he was with us today.
I have no words to express my gratitude to Mr Ian Grillot what have you done. Thanks to the courage and try in any way possible to save my husband. When I'm back in Olathe, I want to meet you in person. You and your act of kindness will help me to survive and still have faith in the love and spreading love and not hate. I hope you get better soon.
Thanks to all those communities who have come forward and pray for the soul of Srinivas and his family's well-being.
Thanks to the funeral home because they are so attentive and obliging to our request of sending him to his house, the house that he had built with so many dreams. I'm lucky charm that you gave me. Thank you.
Thanks to the media and press for agreeing to not disturb us and for respecting our privacy. Thanks again, and keep your good work. A special mention to Ms. Rajini Vaidyanathan (BBC correspondent).
Thanks to people like Satya Nadella and Kamala Harris of support from your tweets. It means a lot to us. My sincere request to Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, and many others continue to advocate for your support for human rights. We need to spread the love and stop this hatred. Today, it is an employee of Garmin, tomorrow, one of your employees would, and I do not want anyone to go through what my family and the household went through.
Thanks to the Common Consular Officials accelerated the process.
Thanks to the Government of Telangana for giving us the assurance that his remains will be taken to his home without any problem, and we ask the media in India to our privacy notice.
Mr. Amitabh Bachchan sir, there was no match ending dance without us your songs. Our friends used to call us Amitabh and Jaya fondly because my husband is 6'2 '' and I'm 5 feet. My husband used to say that our children should be as large as Abhishek and Shweta. Shah Rukh Khan sir, he was a big fan of yours, and he made sure we watched your latest film, Raees. I have your support for this powerful message of spreading love and giving confidence to every stranger that their struggle will be listened to pass.
I will now ask the same question - On what basis do we decide that a person is good or bad, and of course, it is not based on the color of your skin. So what decides? Many times, these issues are discussed in a few weeks and then people tend to forget about them, but the fight should go towards eradicating hatred from the minds of the people. So what the government will do to stop hate crime?
Finally, when asked to answer every immigrant in mind, we belong here? Is this the same country we dreamed of and it is still safe for our families and raise children here?
