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 am very very sad to hear this News:(. After this news, I am hating Year 2020 more.
I will miss him for his absolute humble replies and strong grammar hold. He was like my school english teacher figure, always asking to use correct Grammar.
May his soul rest in peace. His presence will always be there in every question for which he wrote explanation.

So sad to hear about this...
It is not an easy road to battle GMAT, but Daagh's posts are always very helpful and timely. He definitely leaves a legacy that is touching lives.
Thank you daagh! RIP

A fitting tribute, bb. I am pleased that in my first and only direct exchange with daagh earlier this year, I had the good sense to start,
Apart from admiring his keen insights, I always felt that I understood where he was coming from when he was making a point, and I respected him even more in that, right or wrong in the end, he would leave up his posts for the benefit of the entire community.
For those of us who may be dealing with grief, I would recommend this lecture from the Buddhist monk Ajahn Brahm, someone who has the rare gift of being able to speak of the profound and yet drop in a joke in the same sentence.
May you be at peace, daagh.
- Andrew

Very sad news.

He changed the traditional approach to counter SC and introduced some very unique ideas. A loss that can never be fulfilled.

His last reply to me was in July.

I learnt from him that there are around 200 concepts tested on SC. I will remember his explanations as short, concise and for quick learning.
undoubtedly a loss to GMAT community daagh .RIP

A very unfortunate loss for us and his family. He was a champion . Whenever I was stuck in SC, i used to tag him and I always knew he would reply in quick time.
I feel some part of us has left today.
May his soul Rest In Peace.
100000..... kudosss to you for helping us SIR.

I took his private mentorship in June.He taught me just for me couple of days , but he fell sick so he didn't teach me for a month.Even though his health was not supporting , he tried to teach for 15 mins in the morning and 15 mins in the evening .His health was deteriorating but he tried very hard to teach concepts.He was going for dialysis weekly twice in july ,even in that condition he was suggesting few people regarding Awa in forums.Till the end he tried his best to help the students.He is very great person.May his soul rest in peace.
