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

Indeed he was genius. I really liked the way he used to challenge some of the GMAT questions. His explanations was clear.

bb I had word with him in September over call and he had mentioned about serve backpain and unable to walk.

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.

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..

I noticed in one of his posts where he challenged the OA explanation and he stuck with his logic till the end. He may have been wrong once, but he was always true to his choices.
May he rest in peace.

While I do not have any stories about Mr.Narendran, I always loved it when his name came up. This was thanks to his crisp and intelligent answers.

Thank you for teaching us. RIP sir.

Rest in peace Sir.

I came across this post just now and I am very sad to hear about his passing.
Just today morning, I was practicing CR and was searching for his explanation on a difficult question thread.

His explanations are very easy to understand and I found them very helpful. I wish I could convey this to him.

Will miss his invaluable contribution to all the forums.

Sorry to hear this :(

I just want to say, Whenever I am preparing for Sentence Correction most of the time I just look for the answers only from daagh.
I couldn't told him personally that he is the one of the person who helped me a lot in my GMAT exam preparation.

God bless you daagh sir. You are Indeed a Gmat club Legend.

Rest in Peace. :please:

Like others on the forum, I had the privilege of interacting with Daagh. He was always a gentleman and incredibly soft spoken. He would always do his job and make sure he did it well. This is truly a devastating loss for the forum and may he Rest In Peace.

As shocked as all of you to hear about him. I was fortunate to have had spoken to him some years back on a courtesy call.
He was from Chennai, a city in southern India known for hot and humid climate but warm and hospitable people like Daagh sir. What a day to know of this unfortunate news, the day when his city braces for the cyclone in the next few hours.
He was a thorough gentleman, soft-spoken and always ready to help others. As others too have written, he will always remain alive through his wonderful explanations.
bb I will try to reach out to his daughter to tell her what he meant for this forum of ours.
May the soul RIP!



Thank you. I will be reaching out to her with a few questions and the possibility of doing something for Daagh's legacy.


bb please check my PM to you. I have posted few ideas. Thanks :)
