A good friend who left this world recently. Fondly, I used to call him Vills. During my earlier days at Lloyds colony, where we used to live, not a single day passed without having long chats with him. It was more of a knowledge sharing session only from his side, wherein he used to talk a lot about the books he read and Dravidian politics. Those times are still green in my mind. You encouraged me to read a lot of books, which I continue to do even now…. Thanks for that. For sure, whenever I open any book, it will keep bringing back your memories. Happy that we remained in touch all these years, and I am glad that I had the opportunity to get acquainted with you. Good bye and rest in peace, Vills. Thank you for everything.
