Sriram Krishnan(@sriramk):I have been in shock ever since I heard the news of Om Malik's passing. Om was one of the nicest people I met when I first came to the Bay Area. Everyone has a story of Om doing them a favor - I have several. He is someone to emulate and look up to. I had fallen out of touch for a few years and then sent him an email a little while ago on a mutual love for fountain pens and we wound up reconnecting briefly. Om loved beautiful things crafted with love and he was a beautiful person with much love. You will be missed @om. Below
