Dear RMIM,
Our dear friend is no more. I have been in touch with Guri for the
better part of today. Kalra saaheb's last few moments in this world
passed without prolonged pain or discomfort.
I know I speak for the RMIM family. Our prayers and support will
always be with Saroj-ji and the whole family. Their strength and
forbearance have been at once gut-wrenching and inspirational.
I would not presume to describe the depth and extent of Kalra saaheb's
knowledge and his passion for the art. That is a thesis unto itself,
and has come to be an RMIM axiom for eternity. But it went way beyond
knowledge and passion. His style was unassuming and simple. He
spontaneously exuded a brand of humility that can only come from
benign self-assuredness, total command over the subject, and true
inner strength. In our thoughts, he will always remain witty, funny,
kind, generous and altogether uplifting.
