It is indeed very sad to digest the fact that Rajuanna, one of my close colleagues in the office, passed away on Sunday due to pneumonia. We tried our best to ensure that he got the best healthcare facilities but all gone in vain and he passed away on Sunday.

I share a very special relationship with him. We both joined at the same time. He was a very good artist and gave my magazine some memorable graphics. He is very close to me and we often used to tease other colleagues. Of course, I used to pull his leg very often. The photograph above was taken when I was just a few months old at SPG Media.

His was short in length and sweet in character. He was very fond of his only daughter (about 10 months old) and used to speak to her regularly over phone even when he was very busy with the office work. Never a dull moment when Raju anna was around. We had great fun while designing our magazine.

God was very harsh on this innocent little man. He was made to struggle for his life in the hospital for about 15 days. I personally saw him battling for life and weeping while looking at his daughter.

I regret for not having seen his dead body (I was in my native village). I cannot assume him as a dead man and even now I tell myself that he had left our organization in terms of better prospects.

Bye bye rajuanna. I love you and miss you a lot.
