Uncle Pai, as I used to know him all of the 30 years back – those of us who lived in the small villages and town and who bought us closer to the world that we grew in – who bought us the language that we communicate so freely now – who created that frenzy millions of images of all the stories that we used to wait and lap up – bade good bye on February 24, 2011.
Anant Pai, whose picture I saw in many of the search sites and I guess probably the only time I saw him; -I am sure he shaped a lot of kids like me those days. All that we knew from Amar Chitra Katha – the glorious epics, the short and long stories, the panchatantra and so on – vivid memories etched in.
Rest well Sir !! You for me are no less deserving than of a Bharat Ratna !!
