Last Meet with Dr. Dinanath Pathi Sir
Wish I could have met you Sir that day on 30th June 16
In recent past I was busy in developing a document in a printing press, where I, met Dr. Dinanath Pathi Sir. Physically so fit, smart, active, enthusiastic, friendly and inspiring personality ... I surely heard of such a great personality but it was for the first time I interacted so closely with him.
Hectic schedule, long hours of work, meeting the time line, editing of the document, and late evening work at press... but it was so good to meet and chat with Sir that week. He was busy developing a document for his trip to Malesia, which was scheduled during mid July.
We had lots of discussion in between .., on present politics, various programs, our work, his auto biography that I was really interested to listen from him...
He asked: Are u coming press tomorrow? I will get my auto-biography book for you. I expressed my inability, as the next day was the day of release of the book and had to attend a State Level function. His response was don’t worry I will leave a copy with Jyoti, you collect from him. He left the press early and gave me his number asking me to be in touch.
It was shocking to hear today just two months later, that noted painter and intellectual Dr. Dinanath Pathi is no more. Feel so bad... I searched for your number and realised.
My deepest prayer for you Sir.
Rest in Peace. Regards
