Rest In Peace, Parimal Gandhi

Gandhi, 67, determined warrior, harbinger of good vibes and inspiration of ours succumbed to cardiac arrest and breathed his last today. 

A bright spark of inspiration left the world today. Parimal Gandhi successfully fought three episodes of cancer out of which one was a near miss. He was blinded twice, underwent five corneal transplants, a cardiac bypass, two surgeries for glaucoma. He battled diabetes and hypertension and went on to become an author, life coach and influencer. Gandhi, 67, determined warrior, harbinger of good vibes and inspiration of ours succumbed to cardiac arrest and breathed his last today.

Gandhi collaborated with Silver Talkies and conducted a book reading session of his unbelievably inspiring book ‘Can Surmount’ for our community of seniors on December 11, 2020, sharing with us his journey of resilience. He was a fun speaker to keep us entertained and awed in equal parts. We realised why he was such an acclaimed international facilitator, consultant, speaker, and author.

Gandhi’s struggle began in 1974 when he was diagnosed to have corneal ulceration in both eyes. He was a second-year student of chemical engineering at that time. Refusing to give in, he began the journey to beat all odds. Gandhi shared with Silver Talkies excerpts from his book, Can Surmount. We deeply regret the sad demise of this precious soul and hope his life can inspire all of us to surmount the odds.
