Shenvi and Peace are mutually exclusive concepts. His blood boiled when he saw things that were meant not to be. And he always decided to do something about it. Whether it was in the management of the Indian Education Society, or the Indian Railways, or Bombay Telephones, or the Regional Transport Office, ... Letters to "authorities", postings in newspapers, campaigns of other sorts.
He was a source of entertainment and his wit cut right to the bone. And it spared no one.
In his passing, I have a choice to mourn, but I shall not. I have a choice to grieve, but I shall not. I have a choice to wish that his soul may rest in peace, but I shall not.
If his soul rests in peace, that will be an insult to his life's purpose. May his blood keep boiling in the rest of us. May he always stir our conscience if we stray to the edge.
May his soul never rest in peace.
Shenvi is dead. Long live Shenvi!

My sincere thoughts :
Narayan was born in India, educated in India, lived in India and served for India.
He loved his country and selflessly dedicated himself for cause of the country and her people. He gave in return in many folds of what he got from the country.
Narayan's soul must rest in peace. For there are several Narayans and there will be many Narayans who will fight for a cause for the country, to a lesser or greater extent.
Narayan Rest In Peace.
Regards
Raymond
