For the phenomenon that you have created, called IRASTIMES, it is difficult to bid you farewll. For many among us, who had the opportunity to interact with you, albiet briefly, you created hope, sensibility and an optimism about everything. You singularly created a spirit of life, fighting the odds; no matter how close they hurt.
Sir, with all the best that life has to offer, may you be bestowed with all of it.
With all the best wishes and regards
Vivek Prakash Tripathi
