Abstract


Professor Sharad Shankar Shrikhande, popularly known among his friends and colleagues as Shrik, one of the most well-known mathematicians and statisticians from India, passed away on 21 April 2020. By this time he had moved around the Sun 102 times. It is rare for a mathematician to live that long. He lived happily, all these years and till the very end was very devoted to his field Combinatorics or what is nowadays known as Discrete Mathematics. His cheerful and peaceful personality and silent style reflects perhaps the secret of his long life.
