****
Bharat was gifted and he took many bold steps in his life. He will be remembered for his enterprising nature, for making the family business in Kenya a success and taking the brave step to do the same in Australia. He was ambitious and always full of ideas, but he was never afraid to do the hard work to make those ideas a reality. He was a pillar of support to his family and made many sacrifices so that they could have a good foundation and education. It was his dream to lift his family so they could have a better life than he had, and he achieved that. He will be greatly missed by the family and has left a legacy that he can be proud of.
