Empathy for others is the most striking peculiarity of his personality. He would invariably listen the grave situations and bring smiles on everyone's faces with his powerful sense of humor. Not an erudite but life taught him a lot which made him a complete person. He has a water like quality that meanders with the bends and readily mixes with anything. He would make flawless of fallibles and and bring out the winners out of defeated. A true sole worth veneration we salute the human in this person.
