I find no words here to fill in for the sudden demise of our loveable Dada except...
We will miss you dada for your always blinking eyes behind your specks on your smiling face...
We will miss you for all your true fighting spirit and courage, especially at your last leg of life...affection and caring; you showed us how to move on despite all odds....
We will miss you for your keen eyes to look what is NEWS for you... your occasional coffee in your cyber cafe at hotel Windsor.
We will miss you for all the intellectual sparring and discussions about ideas that you were brave enough to put forward...your eagerness to make a difference....
We will miss you for your initiatives, especially about how to make Bihar Times a successful brand....
We will miss you because you are irreplaceable...
We will miss you because you are our very own Dada...
AND, for me, Dada, what can I say...
I'll miss you for all your support, inspiration, encouragement… and.. that bhadrolook smile...
….for that Book "Old Goriot" by Balzac you gifted me on 3 December last year... your words inscribed on the first page of the book led me to tears this morning...I'll possess your memory through this Book dada, forever…and ever
...your memory for me will go nowehere
dada,
It will just remain with me,
forever,
I'll hold it in my quiet arms
And, feel it everyday,
Constantly...!
Aapki yaad aati hai, dada...
your's chhota Bhai--as you always referred me,
