This is a devastating news. I'm writing but I have numb eyes - don't know why - after reading this post.
Now i know why I didn't see notifications of his posts in last couple of months. :( :cry:

Last year when i joined the Gmatclub forum, I posted my first explanation of an official question only after couple of months. I didn't know how to make posts(leave good posts that contribute something) I could not believe daagh gave kudos to my post and commented, to which i was joyous like a kid gets. This encouraged me to write more and get into depth of SC questions.

I adored his every explanation. His explanations made me address him as SIR always - they are like Yoda of explanations. The explanations are abstract(pure grammar with no fuss) and an absolute must read for 700+ level questions.

I wish i had a chance to talk to him.

RIP daagh.

Death is inevitable people are remembered for the legacy they leave behind. Daagh sir is no more yet despite this his post is still alive tomorrow, the day after that, or on some other day, anyone can come and appreciate his post and thank him for his work that he did. I won't tell RIP I believe he is still alive through his post.

I used to struggle a lot with SC and in beginning I could not understand his posts but once I got the grip of his writing style I found what a treasure his posts are! It aches my heart that we would no longer be able to get his insights on new posts but his contribution to club has changed so many lives.
I will try my best to contribute at least half as good as he did.

This is a really sad news. He was an amazing experts whose explanations must've helped so many people. It won't be wrong to say that his explanations, someway or the other , must've contributed towards the success of many people, thus transforming their lives for the better good.

Rest in peace Daagh Sir. God Bless.

Dear GMAT Club Members,

It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that I have to share the news that one of the most humble and helpful members of GMAT Club, daagh, has left this world; passed away in October 2020. It is a sad day on GMAT Club. I have only received one brief message from his daughter (via PM of his account) who has informed me about his passing in October 2020. I have tried to reach her with further questions but without success. My last communication with Daagh was in August when, as usual, I was asking him about some help with AWA forum and he mentioned that he was getting treatment and would not be available for about a month and asked to ping him after that.... never did I think that would be the last time I would speak with Narendran. Death is a cruel thing. Rest in peace Daagh. We all miss you and the memory of you will always live on GMAT Club.

Daagh joined GMAT Club in 2007 and left a legacy of over 5,000 posts and 25,000 kudos. He was often a part of the very exclusive Top 10 members of the Month group. Daagh served as a GMAT Club moderator for several years and helped numerous test-takers. He has spent some of his time doing one of the hardest and most thankless jobs - moderating the AWA forum and answering essay questions. I still remember speaking to him for the first time after he became a moderator. I asked him about his application plans. He chuckled at me and said - "I am Old BB, I am not applying to business school". He was laughing at my naivite. He was in his 60's. If you have a story or a memorable experience with Daagh, please consider sharing it in this tribute topic.


P.S. If anyone has any other ideas on how to honor Daagh, feel free to suggest them here or PM me.
Thank you.
BB.

May his soul rest in peace, he is free of ailments now. He will always be remembered for his superb explanations, which has helped out countless number of students here. A suggestion to honor and remember him could be to have a contest of the questions containing his best explanations, that way even though he is no longer with us, he will always live on through his posts. We carry on his legacy!

Can't believe this is real...... daagh always has the most precise and straight forward explanation for SC questions, he helped me a lot.
Rest in peace Daagh Sir.

I find it difficult to believe that he's passed away. His explanations always emerged as a ray of hope when the gmat prep got tough. Even though I never talked to him personally I was always able to feel strongly connected with him. Daagh is a true legend , several thousand students owe their success to this man who selflessly answered the most naive of questions with absolute humility. Notice that I used the word 'is' . I dont believe that he's really gone, his explanations will continue to help several thousands of students to come and his memory will be etched on the gmat club forum for years to come. Daagh ! Wherever you find yourself to be .. I wish you peace and happiness.

This is such a sad news. May his soul rest in peace. I got an opportunity to speak with him this year in May. He told me that he isn’t well. He said that he will be available from June. I never thought that the things were this serious. This is a big loss for all of us as a GMAT Club community. RIP daagh

I always make sure that i read his solutions while solving SC questions. He always had a different approach to tackle the SC questions and those explanations always helped me to get a clear picture where I'm going wrong. May his soul rest in peace..
