Another of us has passed away — Satish Shah, a young talent, and has left us at a very young age. And the stars they favour not... to us all... And these times of the grim... it bodes not well to express in normalcy... foreboding us in all at each moment.”

He added, “It is in the ease to abide by that age-old wordage... ‘but the show must go on’... and so it does, as does life. Each day an express of an alternate... or wherever the ‘show’ must guide us to... hence... even in distress and glumness, despondency, the face of normalcy and the act of work persists... but no... improper to pursue normalcy...”
