54 not out - Sunder Rajan - thank you for lighting our lives up

While there's sadness in the heart, there's also a sense of relief for Raj he is out of his pain. He fought a valiant fight and did what he said he'd - keep it short, don't prolong if quality of life is affected.

Satya moved mountains and spared no effort to ensure that he was in least pain. Her parents cared for his every desire through these months. And finally the village turned up; that's the enduring Raj legacy that I will forever cherish.


I am poorer for I will miss my brother, and richer for he's connected me to all of you all in his brief journey, *54 not out*

Thank you one and all

In closing borrowing his famous words,

• "no regrets, it s what it is."

Best wishes always
Bala/Raj's younger cousin
