Nearly 50 years of our friendship came to an end abruptly. Last few years we became more close and more open, discussed and argued so many life experience,gossips, politics and current affairs. We have come across so many people in life but what special about him was his authenticity and the authoritative friendliness. Every time when I started the conversation with him I always felt refreshingly relaxed and youthful that because he has never changed his youthful and uncomplicated attitude towards life. Further he always felt as a friend he had the moral authority to scold me, correct me to and direct me to think and make the right decision. Not only me many friends and colleagues had that joyful experience. He has done so much to so many people in all walks of life without any fanfare and publicity. For Rajini and me he was more than a friend ,we looked up to him as a elder brother,mentor and a strict family physician. I am going to miss one of my soul mates. Good bye my friend and I am sure you will have a special place in the heavens with the almighty. May your soul rest in peace. Ariya and Rajini.
