Padam Shree Cartoonist Sudhir Tailang signs out

Sudhir Tailang ,renowned cartoonist, is no more .in the untimely demise, his infectious smile is also no more,but his memories will remain etched on mind like carving on stones.

It was a few years ago ,celebrities ,business tycoons ,top politicians, media moguls and many others were at the Amausi airport in Lucknow at dead of night. Bone chilling winds were harsh on those trooping there to board flights. They were all on return trip after attending a high profile marriage party.

Charted planes were lined up like scooters.every one was in tearing hurry to catch first available flight to reach destinations.People were in panic that if fog starts flights can not take off.

I was last in the queue to collect the boarding pass ,but I was equally anxious to catch first available plane to new Delhi.

Planes were available ,but the mute question was how to get into the first flight back home before fog plays spoil sport.

Sudhir could understand my latent apprehensions and he was many heads ahead in the queue. First acclaimed fashion designer,Rohit Bal, sporting smile, walked upto me and offered help to get the card.

I politely acknowledged his gesture but chose not to take obligation. A smiling Sudhir who was given tickets by many fellow passengers to get the boarding pass walked upto me and sought ticket so that he can help me.

Stunned by his gesture, I said no problem ,the queue is moving fast.his friendly nature had unarmed me and I really appreciated the cartoonist .I was wondering that Sudhir was ready to help every one and was least bothered for his flight.

Today ( Feb 6,2016)when around 1300 Hrs ,a fellow journalist broke the news ,all inter actions with Sudhir emerged as flim and I was stuck at the Amausi air port episode. We met many times and every time, he left some last impression of his personality .

The Cartonnist passed away in a hospital after waging battle against brain tumour which had afflicted him two years ago. His cartoons , full of satire ,were always witty and conveying a deep message on the contemporary politics. He was 55 and had many accolades in life.
