As shocked as all of you to hear about him. I was fortunate to have had spoken to him some years back on a courtesy call.
He was from Chennai, a city in southern India known for hot and humid climate but warm and hospitable people like Daagh sir. What a day to know of this unfortunate news, the day when his city braces for the cyclone in the next few hours.
He was a thorough gentleman, soft-spoken and always ready to help others. As others too have written, he will always remain alive through his wonderful explanations.
bb I will try to reach out to his daughter to tell her what he meant for this forum of ours.
May the soul RIP!
