Two unusual sights.

Two people seen on two differing occasions. And I shall never forget them!

Scene 1.

- 74 years old
- weighs 3 kgs less as he's been fasting for over 60 hrs while in Tihar jail.

He breaks into a sprint to ward off the rains and board the vehicle meant for him. Accompanying security personnel and followers have a tough time catching up with him. Well, he's the real hero of today's India. And he's Anna Hazare!


Scene 2.

- Timewise, an earlier snapshot.
- At the funeral ceremony of Shammi Kapoor at 'Banganga' in Bombay.

A wheelchair bound Shashi Kapoor tearfully bidding farewell to his brother. He looked a far cry from what we'd seen of him and adored over the years, in film after film. Was reminded of the saying, 'Time erodes gratitude just as it does beauty'.

Tailpiece.

The music maestro, Johnson, of the Malayalam movies has passed into eternity. He shall, however, continue to live amidst us by the sheer quality of his musical scores. RIP!
