ANIL T. BHARVANEY: A Knack for
Fitting In
Anil
T. Bharvaney's personal geography knew no bounds. Born in
Poona, India, he grew up in Kobe, Japan, went to college
in San Jose, Calif., worked in New York and lived in East
Windsor, N.J.
"He was at home with any culture," said Pandora Po,
his wife, a Chinese immigrant who met Mr. Bharvaney at
New York University. Wherever he was, she said, he fit
in. "He was soft-spoken and could calm people down," she
said. "That goes well with any culture."
He was unbounded in his interests, too. At 41, he was
a vice president in equities trading at Instinet
Corporation. On Sept. 11, he was attending a conference
at Windows on the World. He liked to walk in the woods
around his home and take photos. He was passionate about
classical jazz, like John Coltrane. And he read
philosophy, taking the Tao, the Chinese way of simplicity
and selflessness, to heart. "He thought the more you
give, the more you become richer," Ms. Po said. "He very
much believed in it."
