R.I.P. mmmjgm (Manish Merchant) & Hillram (Ram Kiran)

I regret to inform you all that our dear mmmjgm from the forum, Mr. Manish Merchant passed away unexpectedly a couple of days ago.
His presence on social media, our forum and in person would be an exuberant, witty one and he would surely be missed for his warm, endearing nature.
Rest In Peace. dear MMMJGM

Rest in Peace. May God bless his soul.

I remember him from HVKs Facebook forum when HVKs number was suspended & Manish had offered very insightful info about operations & hierarchy within telcos (who are otherwise largely unregulated), to get things resolved. A lot of other informative posts too (& with humour for good measure).

One of my first friends here on Team BHP and like a lot of others from here he too has gone up to a better place and I hope he finds his peace and happiness in the afterlife.

We met in person a long time ago and always exchanged wishes / birthdays - he never forgot even once in the last 15 years I have known him.

Cheers MM - until next time my friend

Re: FCCH will miss its founding member - Ram Kiran aka Hillram.

That's very unfortunate. May his soul rest in peace and his family have the strength to sail through these difficult times.

I always admired his passion towards automobiles, his collection of 2 & 4 wheelers and his love for Fiats. I have never met him but have seen his immaculately maintained Adventura a couple of times.

Shocking news. RIP Ram.

Never got a chance to interact with him in person but have read his many ownership reports on the forum. Praying for courage to his family to cope up with the loss.

RIP Ram!
Sad news. Hope his family gets the strength to sail through the loss.

I have read his posts and his fondness for Fiats. He was a very passionate member for sure. Quite recently, he was planning a drive to western ghats in Karnataka in his Kwid.

"Life is certainly not certain".
