What you lose when you lose somebody? You don’t just lose a person. You lose…

the booming laughter…

the personality bigger than the biggest sea…

the funniest jokes told with impeccable delivery…

the wisdom imparted with second-hand smoke…

the offer of a beer in the evenings…

the conspiracy theories…

the devil’s advocate inducing morally grey arguments…

the brilliant debugger of the human body…

the stubborn rock…

the father, the husband, the partner, the friend, the Bantu

the gossip-monger…

the storyteller…

the foodie…

the singer…

the physicist…

the irreverent path-breaker…

the chai fanatic…

the malai chana fan…

the collector of beautifully strange things…

the generous praise…

the unfiltered criticism…

Papa.

In honorable memory of my father-in-law — Dr. Vivek Athaiya, who went a little too soon*.*
