Missing you Tanvi :((

Those were the days my friend.....

Still too numb....in shock...and not able to (or may be willing to) believe that I will never get to meet Tanvi again...her infectious laughter, that twinkle in her eyes...Tanvi was so full of life and always game for adventure and fun...I remember vividly our childhood days....going for Indian classical dance class together, or for a swim on the weekends at the Railway Club at Badhwar Park in Mumbai..Our families were together so often and that helped us forge a bond that stood the test of time...I particularly cherish the years when Tanvi and her family lived at Bandra, and later she at the ladies hostel at Marine Drive...we had some fun times together! Though a few years younger than me, Tanvi was wise beyond her years.. a dreamer and a go-getter, which is an amazing combination...she always had an opinion of her own, and was never afraid to voice it...never afraid to be different...that's what made her so unique...I will miss you so much Tan...we will never know why things had to turn out this way..will have to accept it as God's will and try to come to terms with it... but the world will surely be a duller place without your vibrant presence...

My heart goes out to Kaiz, uncle aunty, Anshul and all your family and friends...it's an irreparable loss for all... but most of all for darling Zaeya, who will know her mother through all the wonderful stories and memories of those around her... But I can see the same twinkle in her eyes too ..And I'm sure she will be as wonderful, as naughty and as vivacious as you always were

Rest in peace my friend..will miss you forever

I had the privilege of getting to know Tanvi and Kayzad in the early 2000s when they rented a unit from me.  A lovely couple whom at one time gave us the pleasure of coming to our home. My wife and I have a sweet memory of that special day. It is rare to meet a couple as special as they were. My wife and I feel regretful for not getting together again as we did that one night. Never delay meeting friends as we have had , thinking there is time to do so later. 

Tanvi was an intelligent, strong and beautiful person, and she will continue to  live and shine through her baby girl. 

Kayzad please accept our condolences. Mosen  and Nusheen

I am so sorry to hear of Tanvi passing so shortly after the birth of her daughter. Tanvi was a mentor for me at GYLC in 2004 and has always resonated with me as an incredible light in human form, an example of all that women are capable of. She left a mark that will not soon diminish, all my prayers to her family, especially her husband and sweet daughter. 

Tanvi was one of the first project managers I worked with when I joined ICF in 2014. Over the next seven years, I was lucky enough to work with her many times. I was always impressed by Tanvi's intelligence, decisiveness, and ability to think through challenging project issues. The things I will miss most, however, are her smile, her positive energy, and her wry sense of humor. I once told Tanvi she had the vocabulary of a well-educated sailor; "oh, I like that!" she said, and I was glad she took it as the compliment I intended.

Despite working extremely hard, Tanvi was never too busy to make time for those around her. Even though I did not know her as well as many other members of her ICF family, she would always stop by my desk to say hello whenever work brought her from LA to Irvine. I always enjoyed chatting with Tanvi, whether it was in the office, grabbing lunch after a client meeting, or at happy hour (happy hour was always happier with Tanvi in attendance).

I still cannot quite believe someone so full of life is gone. It especially breaks my heart that Tanvi was taken so soon from her beautiful baby girl. I have no doubt Tanvi would have embraced the joys and challenges of parenthood in equal measure.

My deepest condolences go out to Tanvi's family and friends. Her absence will be felt by all those who were lucky enough to know her.

I’m heartbroken that the world has lost Tanvi. She was so full of life and had an absolutely magnetic personality. Her gorgeous spirit will live on through her daughter and all the people who loved her, and there are many. I wish her family peace during what must be an unimaginable time.  

I first met Tanvi at St. Xavier's College in Mumbai, and we spent a lot of time together in the Life science labs as we were lab partners. My happiest memories of college are around being in that lab and laughing hysterically with Tanvi. Not that I necesarily remember what we were laughing about but I do remember the feelings, and to this day they bring a smile to my face. Tanvi had a way of making the mundane a lot more exciting. Her loss has been shocking and heartbreaking. Much love and prayers for her family and hoping her little girl will be fierce and amazing just like her Mommy. Miss you, Tanvi. 

I am shocked and saddened to learn today of Tanvi's passing. I worked with her at ICF for about 15 years. She was always a shining light - a dedicated, intelligent, and hard working coworker. When someone needed a difficult challenge solved, they would go to Tanvi because she had the ability to look at problems through a different lens and come up with great ideas toward a solution. I am sure that her beautiful baby girl will inherit her tenacity, grit, and beauty. I am very sorry to Tanvi's family for their loss. Tanvi, you will be missed.  

I remember the first time I met Tanvi, and the last time I got to see her. We both started at ICF a million years ago, but never would have met in normal circumstances since we were in different groups in the company and I was based in Dallas until 2010. However, due to my boyfriend moving to LA, I started coming out here to visit, and Tanvi shared an office with one of my good friends in the ICF Sherman Oaks office. I remember thinking she seemed like a BOSS and just a really cool person, and so gorgeous. I was excited to meet her because my boyfriend was also from India. Over the years we both got engaged, had our big Indian weddings, and kept each other updated on life during office visits and chats. I saw Tanvi pretty recently at an ICF dinner. She walked into the dinner absolutely radiant, the most stylish pregnant woman I had ever seen, hair perfect and shoes and dress flawless. I hadn't seen her in a long time due to the pandemic, and was excited to show her a photo as I recently had my first baby too. We talked about our multicultural, global babies and how excited she was for her little one. I was someone on the far periphery of Tanvi's life, a casual work friend, but even I knew what an incredible person Tanvi was. She was a real leader and inspirational ball of energy among a lot of talented people at ICF. She will never be forgotten by her colleagues, and the truly important work she led will benefit people, plants, and animals forever.  

I had the pleasure of knowing Tanvi for 12 years, meeting her first on our Las Vegas project work and we instantly connected. It was a pleasure to watch Tanvi rise through the ranks in ICF and even after her move to California we kept in touch and occasionally worked together. All the conversations I had with Tanvi were long and full of laughs. I loved hearing about her move to CA, her Indian wedding, the new projects she worked on, we both laughed so hard about the cats project in LA. We would always talk about food and especially chocolate. We both loved gold jewelry (not platinum or silver) and I loved hearing all about her wedding jewelry. She would love when her parents came to visit, she loved family time and enjoyed her mothers cooking. She spoke with such passion for everything and such love for her family. Our last conversation was the best one, she called me late one night to tell me she was pregnant. She was so excited to be pregnant and her excitement was infectious and I was so happy for her. She was determined to enjoy her time before the baby was born and relax and was equally excited to enjoy her maternity leave. She was so filled with joy to become a Mom. It breaks my heart that she never got to experience this, she would have been a fabulous mother. Tanvi’s amazing spirt will live through Baby Zaeya and she will grow up to be an amazing person. My deepest condolences to Tanvi’s family, Tanvi’s ICF family will always be here for you.

I'm very sorry to hear about Tanvi's passing. Having known her since high school, I'm very thankful to have had the opportunity to know her for as long as I did, even if I will forever complain to the universe that it was unfairly cut short.

Tanvi took the time to make a meaningful connection with friends and provide the presence it took to truly nurture friendships. Over the years as she moved from place to place her circle of intensely loyal friends grew, and instead of the older friendships withering away she managed to connect the people in her life from different contexts in a way that made them instantly comfortable.  Her kindness towards people, animals, and life in general shone through at every opportunity, and she always had good intentions (despite the liberal sprinkling of colorful language :D ).

One of the last times I remember meeting her was at my flat in LA, where I happened to make chutney that evening. Tanvi and Kaizad stopped by and we had such a fun evening making chutney sandwiches like the street vendors of bombay, reminiscing, and chatting late into the night making it such a fun memorable evening so effortlessly ... She knew how to find joy in everyday life and spread that around! She will be missed.

I pray for strength for Kaizad & Zaeya, Uncle, Aunty, Anshul, Sheetal and the family. My deepest condolences.

We were so sorry to hear of Tanvi's tragic passing.  She worked with us at the Bureau of Engineering/EMG for awhile, and was always happy, diligent and engaging.  We will miss her.

Hard to believe that Tanvi is no more in this World.she was very affectionate Child . We still remember her visit to us in 1992 in Jodhpur. We failed to understand the Cycle of Nature or GOD . We pray Her Soul Rest in Peace. 🙏..Neelam & Mehar Singh.

Tanvi & Kaizad's Baby Celebration

I worked with Tanvi at ICF and found her to be a joyful, intelligent and completely capable professional.  This tragedy is extremely difficult to understand in today's advanced medical environment.  My deepest condolences to her husband and family.  She will be missed.

Without knowing, Tanvi has taught me a lot of lessons.The life lessons I have learnt from her: Be a go- getter, nothing is short of your reach, where there is a will there is always a way...And the final lesson she has taught me - cherish your friends before its too late.

Tanvi and I met up in India just after we both finished grad school and before we started working… — with Martin Huebler

The best holiday I ever had, in Goa with Tanvi just before the monsoons. A nearly empty hotel and beach, with the best company… — with Martin Huebler

I was dumbstruck to hear of Tanvi’s death and I am still devastated. She has been one of my best friends through the years: during our time as friends and then flatmates in Bloomington, andthroughout the years whether was vacationing together in India, or managing to meet up despite the distance in London and LA.

I will miss her big heart, her sunny smile, her mischievous wit, and particularly that she always had an ear and sage advice in difficult times…
