Seshadri YK
He is “Kamal Hasan” of our group. One must
watch him when we call him like that. His big eyes will gleam and a smart smile
on his lips. He is a style icon in a way. Whatever he did was style. Being
another local hero of our days, having him in our midst was always difficult,
obviously because of local commitments.
Being in “Flight1” he had this privilege of
running (should I say dashed down) to mess first and grab his grub quickly and
go for rest before others could even attempt having food!!! Unfortunately,
since he was not even located in our premises, we could not have much of him.
We could imagine only his past things.
Then there was a rare occasion when he came
to Chandigarh on official duty. I was supposed to go on leave but had been
forced to cancel the leave on national emergency. Sesha(YK) came and met
“magudi” Thomas on the way. When they talked for few minutes, Thomas had
informed him that I am there. Immediately Sesha requested him to take him to my
house at Mohali. I also reached home only then for lunch and I was not even
aware of this. While I was having lunch (all alone as Vaishali and Vishnu went
to Chennai), he turned up at my entrance. I was surprised and happy to see him.
He had lunch with me, specifically the curd rice he liked it and commented
“Dhadhiyonnam besha irukku”. Really he was hungry and I offered him to take him
out for lunch, which he refused and said that whatever is available in home is
sufficient. Such simplicity and openness was amazing to me…
