Not at 4 AM in the morning. No. I am jealous of people who have guidance and who are able to recognise that. I am sure he is fine and is smiling whenever he realises that you post so little now it is almost comical.

He was cautious in his dealings with people, likely a result of many, many heartbreaks. But he never used that as an excuse to shut people out. In the hundreds of hours of conversations we had, he never once talked down to me.

- if only I could learn what you have mentioned in this beautiful passage above. I am a bitter man who just shuts people out and who lights up when he reads a beautiful tribute like this one.

To Anandbhai..

To Anandbhai and your writing. Loved this sentence - 'God watches over children and fools.' And I was both.

Such an amazing man! To be curious, patient, kind, and so much more… Like Sudha and Rohit said, you are fortunate to have had him as a mentor and guide.

A humble rememberance! His invisible cloak gave you the courage to introspect and come up with candid observations.... you are really a lucky person. Pass on this kind of mentorship to another nitesh, who must be going through the same path as you...
