He was always smiling and was never tired of travelling on Buses,Trains and aircrafts for news coverage assignments ,but Today,his mortal remains were consigned to leaping flames at Yamuna Pusta Cremation ground in the national capital.This news photographer died here last evening.
The 53 year old
Gyanendra K. Kalshan ,who hailed from agrarian Muzzafernagar in Uttar Pradesh,had
adjusted to the metropolis life style for last three decades and was popular among city’s
news photographers.He covered hundreds of assignments both in the capital
and outside .
At most of the
assignments on his beat,he used to reach early by his scooter to take position
at the strategic position for sharp shots without sophisticated zoom and tele-lenses.
The Unassuming news
photographer was employed with India’s News Agency -United News of India(UNI)
for last 27 years .In the saying -that life is so short and sudden -he never
believed and was always upbeat to do something to advance his
professional career to serve the family in a better way.
Hugely possessive of his
camera kits , Gyanendra was always particular that he be allowed not to
share camera body and lenses with others come what may. It was only a few days
back,he suffered from Jaundice and the health situation detoriated .
After dozens of
examinations at AIIMS, it was found that he is suffering from cancer in his
intestine.Gyan always carried Tiffin of home cook food in his bag and glucose
biscuits for snacks in the evening. Almost every day, I used to have sips of
steaming hot tea with him with two biscuits from him.But no one knew that he
would fall victim to the infection which finally snatched him from us for ever.
Refusing to yield to
the deadly infection,he walked into my room with some tubes and a pouch of
urine hanging and said it was a matter of a few days I will be on workm but
despite being an incorrigible optimist ,I was not convinced and daily enquired
about his falling health.
Today,a Bunch of news photographers
were sharing memories of the departed soul. He breathed his last at the Balaji
Cancer hospital last evening. His pyre was lit by his young son Rahul,who ,recently
got his MMBS degree. Tragically,Gyan was nowdays looking for a proper and
commodious place for opening clinic for him,but before any thing materliased
,he expired,.
Before working for the News Agency,he was
doing a video films work from the Mandi house area for some production houses
in Mumbai in late seventies,but due to lack of financial support, he had left
that assignment and joined 24x7 news photographer job .
