What does it take for a man of an ilk so mercilessly relegated to background to elicit such warmth, words of highest appreciation, and feeling of gratitude from men who usually hog the limelight? Mere talent doesn't get you that, and that is an understatement.
When do people miss you the most? Is it when they stand to gain from you both materially and otherwise? Is it when you apart from all the things said make their life richer by your mere association?
When was the last time a behind the screen man given such due and on such a scale? How do you judge his work as an end user who would rather be swaying to the tunes and the accompanying lyrics? How do you qualify to be a judge on a reality show where in the TRPs and glamour dictate who it is that should be facing the camera? He is so nice to listen to when he starts off at 3.13 here and my absolute favorite is the period between 3.51 and 4.08! Between 5.18 and 6.12 here.
When was the last time people posted videos saying "Sir, we miss you"? To a sound engineer! here
Labelling Sridhar who has added immense amount of richness to ethereal quality scores a mere Sound Engineer or a Mixing Engineer would be so disrespectful.
Rajeev Menon probably says it the best when he and A R Rahman pay their tributes here and here to a man who I had first heard about a decade ago, and who in his salt & pepper beard and that gracious talk reminds me of some arbit professor from IISc who is always buried in his grants, proposals and publications.
I wish I had known of him more. I wish there were more interviews and more literature available on this erstwhile guitarist and keyboard player.

Probably to the people who were close to him and who have gained so much from him, his absence and the resulting silence roar in dolby.
crystal clear.
