My dear Aadi,
I remember what you wrote on him sometimes back"Good news is, this great man is still alive, but his days are still being counted. I can't imagine how one must feel when he/she knows that death is before them. Ughh... Poor fellow, isn't he. But the thing is, in his lecture, he doesn't at all feel as if he's sad about it. That needs a lot of.... i don't know the right word.
I do wish he could live a lot longer, but it is all in God's hands"
It is really sad to know that he is no more. We should take the good messages from his life and hence he would live thru us and thru generations.
I love you
Ache
