Namaste, CSR🙏🏽

The multi-talented Charles

Today, let’s celebrate the life of a remarkable person who touched each of our hearts in unique ways. 

As we remember our beloved Charles Stephen Ramachandran/CharlieBoy who was not only a talented hairdresser but also a passionate yoga instructor and gifted artist (plus a mean sugee cake baker and great tailor) we reflect on the vibrant energy he brought into our world.

In his work, Charles transformed not just hair, but lives—helping people feel confident, beautiful, and truly seen. He had this gift for making others shine, for emphasizing the beauty that exists within each of us. 

His artistry was not limited to the salon; it extended into every canvas he touched, leaving behind vibrant and evocative pieces that spoke to the deep emotions we all share. Each stroke of his brush echoed his spirit—expressive, colourful and undeniably full of life.

As a yoga instructor, he taught many of us the importance of mindfulness, balance, and connection. We were reminded to breathe, to find peace within ourselves, and to embrace the beauty of our own journeys. 

Charles showed us that strength comes in many forms—sometimes in the quiet moments of stillness and reflection, and sometimes in the boldness of self-expression.

And perhaps most importantly, he showed us the power of love. Love for himself, love for his craft, and love for each of us. In a world that can sometimes feel divided, Charlie Boy taught us to celebrate authenticity and to live fully and unapologetically.

As we grieve his passing, let us also celebrate the joy he brought into our lives. Let us carry forward his legacy of love, creativity, and acceptance. May we remember to support one another, to uplift each other, and to embrace the diverse tapestry of life that Charles so beautifully embodied.

Today, we honour not just a life lived, but a life that inspired. May his spirit continue to guide us as we navigate our own paths.

Charles, the chubby boy I use to call him when we hang around IC church after mass, Me and Mark we are school mates, so we stay long hours at church compound playing, charles leave in the Serani kampong and we also play football at the field college Lane. Charles is such a joyful person with full of humour. May your soul rest in heavenly peace Charles.

  3. Very sorry to read about Charles. I was thinking of him only yesterday.

    Charles was such a special individual. He was always ready for a lengthy chat about serious, less serious and even plain wacky topics. A really lovely man. Fabulous paintings. I will miss him.
