Over the years, I have psychologically "adopted" him as a person you look upto, admire/ try-to-be-like-OK!hopefully!! (like, I am sure, many others), and "take care of" as much as you can... difficult to explain - but that is how it is/ has been!!
I knew that he has not been keeping well - was in Jamshedpur (from Bhubneshwar) for treatment/recuperation...
Today, I met him in the Admn Block - he had hobbled over (he has an an artharitic knee) from the Tome's Residence....
"Ah, I was looking for you!" he said.
"How are you, Fr - I heard you are not keeping well?"
"old age! kya karoon!... I have problem in breathing now... but just came to tell you, I have seen your mails - have seen what the students are doing to make life better for others - it is worth their efforts - they must go ahead... Just keep up the good work going!"
... and before I could thank him for his blessings, he turned and hobbled out from the corridor...
This will be a moment which will remain in my memory... when you just get 'blessed'
(and yes!... we will, as much as we can "keep the good work going")
