A Tribute to gentleman who defied the age.......

Last few days have been gruesome and heart breaking for me on personal front. I lost a very dear granduncle (dadaji) Mr. K L Gupta. He succumbed to a major heart attack on early morning of 25th Oct 2008. This post of mine is a small tribute to his flamboyant and panache living.

My first encounter with him was during my freshman year of T school, when after induction I went to see him at his residence at Sunderpur, Varanasi. My initial reaction was awe, what a personality. The admiration grew by minutes and seconds. The dignity with which he used to conduct himself, the charm and warmth that oozed out created a magical ambience, that I cherished the most and shall miss life long.

Great man livings do teach subsequent generations’ lesson or two. I also learnt few from him.

Age No Barrier: Inspite of been a septuagenarian, he had the zeal to be a computer literate. In this pursuit, he joined a computer centre at the age of 70+. He not only ended up a computer literate but also left a strong statement for those who feel ashamed to be taught by younger generation. Sometimes I used to guide him about internet and surfing. The enthusiasm with which he took down the notes delivered strong message.........

“Knowledge has no Age”.

Dilli daari nahi........

What are they trying to prove.Is this an euphemism to signify Delhiites incapability to fight terror rather show that they have taken it as a part and parcel of life.The day after the blast horrendous breakfast breaking news were served by the electronic media.Reporters on every channel were busy chanting the theme of Delhi bravery.They were showing the bomb blast sight and the crowd passing by and connecting the sequence to denote that once again Delhi has adapted.
Are they trying to evoke the commoners to take some remedial measures.Are they trying to check the patience of middle class who is always the victim be it inflation or blast...
It is the sad plight of middleman that he has to show a brave face in spite of troubles.

He has not surrendered to terror but has surrendered to his and his family stomach
