Himansu Rai — artist, director, producer and friend died suddenly and by his death created a void which can never be filled. Very few people knew him when he livedHe had to die to be known and mourned by all in our film world. They realised his greatness, when they missed him. Till then, he was called a shy and retiring aristocrat, an artist in hermitage and a genius in the chains of his own ideals shouting to the world: "Leave me alone to work out my ideal." That ideal was the Bombay Talkies Ltd. But the day he died the world discovered that it had lost a great soul which had strived for expression every minute of its career through life. To praise him is to paint the lily In him Devika Rani lost her husband and pal and I lost my brother and friend. Let us weep and with our tears keep his memory green in our hearts. Tears are made of human blood and what greater offering can those left behind give to the one who has gone ahead! BABURAO PATEL.
