KD gave me this picture of his in a very short span we spent together, during MCM, the MCM project, then our first job at Kelkar (dadhi) sirs place. His constant advise on all the aspects of life, his constant nagging on reading the book (The Fountain Head) he presented to me. He almost told be the entire story of "Atlast Shrugged" and "Les Misérables". He was a crazy and a real fast reader. I can say I used be seen as a back marker (an F1 term) from his perspective...as he used to read the book over and over again. His fondness towards Tennis, F1, Arnie and above all Ayrton Senna. He was like a walking encyclopedia about all these. His perseverance was too good
Although his existence is like a dangling pointer in our lives, this pointer will remain in our processes till then they are still running. You can call this as my tribute to him in his utmost favorite language.
It was a good read and could know many things about Kedar which probably were not know to his school mates. I had taken admission in Bhave High School in August 1984 in mid of 7th standard and if I remember it correctly, his division was changed in 8th std. Then we met on facebook and then in real starting May-June 2010 during our school reunions. I could meet him only twice or thrice in those reunions and then came the sad news of his accident. You wont believe I was so restless in those days and when Anand Bhange told me the sad news, I could not believe it and could not concentrate in the work for rest of the day!
Any ways! I must say that it is a very nice writing and even better tribute to Kedar! May his soul rest in peace!
