I have known Sukhdev tayaji for quite some time and in that short span, at least it seems short now, we grew fond of each other. We would often meet over a weekend lunch, which I keenly look forward to.
Spending some time with him always felt so easy & natural and unintentionally, I ended up learning a lot from him - about human values, ethics, relationships and a lot more. He was the one that drew me towards the habit of reading & away from television, which I'll always be grateful to him. I looked up to him and he was like my mentor in disguise.
One of my fondest memories of him is about one incredible and generous gesture, which I would like to keep private, but that spoke loudest about the kind of man he was. And one of my deepest regrets would be to not dropping him a message the other day, just to say hello, and getting this unfateful news just a couple days later, when it was too late.
Tayaji, you will always be loved, missed and respected! It was a huge honour to know you.
