and was never seen losing his temper. Yet all those working under him had to
remain very alert throughout as he did not like lethargy or indolence. He
showered affection on everyone. He was most knowledgeable person and had a
special command over Science, History, Culture, Poetry, General Knowledge,.
etc. He had an inexhaustible repertoire of village-folk phrases and jokes full
of the content of humour and the essence of knowledge. Everybody was astonished

potential to realize the dreams he cherished. Broken cot or posh sofa – both
were alike for him and this was the extent of his detached attitude towards
worldly comforts. He worshiped art like anything.
