DR.GIAN KAUSHIK-END OF AN ERA

Yesterday evening I heard the news about the passing away of my maternal grandfather DR GIAN KAUSHIK. He was living in the UK and had been with BBC's HINDI SERVICE. Famous as a cog in the BBC's Hindi Service,he had a deep booming voice and a personality designed to impress his peers and acquaintances.

I remember the days when I accompanied him to DELHI DOORDARSHAN and COFFEE HOUSE at Connaught Place on his Indian visit and the thundrous confidence he possesed.He lived a full life with a character and style that very few can impersonate.

May his soul rest in peace.
