A scion, an industrialist

That’s what I learned of you 

From General Knowledge books

In school. 

Days passed 

In a homework 

To note down new words

From a chat show in English.

I watched you on 

Rendezvous with Simi Gerewal

In Star World India

Glad I was for a cable

 To have known 

 You, behind the camera 

With a heart 

So big, so tender

So broken 

To have painfully 

Bared it all! 

As I came of age

I rewatched that episode again

To do justice 

To the man

More than a Scion. 

I bid you farewell 

From the world

But your words will stay

Carefully cradled

In my heart.
