The sad news via SMS

May 30, 2013: This morning I got a text message that Rituparno Ghosh is no more. I went to his house to pay my last respects (pic). I spent about an hour in his house.

I came out and joined the others who had assembled there. The entire film industry had come there one by one and I stayed on till his body was taken to Nandan.

I decided not to attend the invitation for this evening at Hyatt Regency for bidding farewell to Mr Marc Lorenz, General Manager, Hyatt, and to welcome the new General Manager Ms Britta Leick-Milde.

I also decided not to go to a private party at the DKS Club.
