Though I've never met Sir, it almost feels like I knew him personally. I've heard volumes about him through his daughter Vagisha. The way her face lit up when she spoke about him - their moments together, the music he loved, the food he made for her - remains unparalleled. She always told me that I should meet him and to about our common passion, literature.

She was full of stories, and Sir made sure she had many to tell. It is in these memories that he'll remain forever alive, smiling down at dear Vagisha.
