Muni Jaitly was devoted to his family, his mission and his truth.

A graduate of NYU and Columbia in his beloved NYC, Muni's passions ranged from film to finance.

While his awards, storytelling and message live on, we yearn for his voice, smile and spirit.

We love you always, Muni, and miss you every day.

If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough

And I'll be me
