What can I say about Rama Rao. He is the mama of Neha and Nikita, our daughters, yet we would all fondly call him 'Ram mama'. My introduction to Rama Rao was after my wedding to Tina in 1999. I was the youngest member in the ‘son-in-law’ group that was made up of Rama Rao and Prasanna Kumar. He was the first family member to visit us after we got married and moved to Atlanta. He was on an official trip to Birmingham and made it a point to visit us in our apartment. Within a few hours, he was in the kitchen, joking around, making us vangibaath and vetha kolambu as if I knew him for years. He was such an endearing personality! That he used to dote on Uthra was apparent in the same trip as Tina and he went to Macys when I headed to work where he bought her 2 nice sweaters for Uthu. Uthra was a dear companion, a wife and a child all rolled in one for him.
Over the years, we got very close to him. It soon became a tradition for Ramarao and Uthra along with Prasanna and family to visit us in Atlanta every Christmas. It was an annual ritual we looked forward to as soon as fall came along. Christmas holidays involved a lot of food, watching movies, playing games and going out. On Christmas day, it was part of the tradition to spend almost the entire day exchanging gifts combined with a talent show. Everyone had to showcase a talent for a gift. For most of us non-gifted ones, it was a terrible amount of pressure to think of something, but Rama Rao was unfazed. With his singing, from traditional to movie songs, he used to enthrall us. He always had a beautiful song for every occasion and mood. The one song he sang in the Swaminarayan temple at Atlanta awed and hushed the crowd, maybe the first time everyone respected the ‘Maintain Silence’ sign inside the temple! You can guess who used to get the most gifts for Christmas .
In September 2001, we had our first daughter, Neha. When they visited us for the first Christmas together, a special bond was made between Rama Rao and Neha. Rama Rao used to adore her and she likewise. His pet name for her was ‘Nega’ and it has stuck over the years. When she did not want to eat, he used to make alphabet dosas (N-E-H-A) and made sure she ate properly. When she wanted something, he ensured that she would get what she asked for.
He was the epitome of 'not wasting a second of your life’. Always active and wanting to do something meaningful, I feel he used to sleep only because he had to. He used to stay up with us till late night but would be up at 5:30 AM brewing coffee while listening to Venkateshwara Suprabatham. Even before flying to Atlanta, he would call me and make sure I had a list of activities for him around the house.
Whether it be watching car races, driving the latest cars, cooking delicious food, discussing politics, or playing birthday notes using the phone keypad, Rama Rao was good, full of passion and enthusiasm in everything he did. Rama Rao’s company would make the most ordinary things fun. He will always be a great inspiration to me. If it is one thing I would like to say, it will be from one of my favorite renderings of his, ‘Abhi Na Jaao Chhodkar Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin……’.

Rama Rao was such a gentle, friendly soul and was always with an innocent smile. I always had a soft corner for him, because, he was such a benevolent and humble person. His musical talent was born out in devotional songs that he sang in every Ayyappa Puja that will be ever green in my mind. His sudden passing leaves, such a profound vacuum and emptiness in our mind and we in our family will always remember his smiley face. May Anjeneya God give good strength to Uttara to face this. May his soul rest in Peace.

Was shocked and saddened to hear of Rama Rao's passing.
He was very talented artist, and nice gentleman. He was devoted to the service of the Indian community in Maryland. The thing I fondly remember is his culinary speciality: Pinapple Gojju. My late wife Brabra liked it so much she wanted the recipe, which he provided.
We are going to miss this gentle soul. May God give strength to his dear wife Uthra and family to bear the loss.
He will be fondly remembered by everyone who knew him.
May his soul rest in peace!
