"In the internet age, instant reaction seems to be mandatory. Unfortunately, I found out about Tony Jesudasan's death after a day. Too late for a proper obituary which had already been written by better pens. In my case, perhaps one need not call it an obit, but a peep into the by-lanes of nostalgia. So, this one is not so much about Tony's unusual career in New Delhi and more about one's parting from a classmate and a friend of fifty-five years."
