“Bhaskar Das....! I have known Bhaskar for over three decades. Every interaction with him was interesting, as he was intellectual, very knowledgeable, witty, and had interesting stories. Our discussions were always beyond the media deal or a major tieup that we met for. He was stylish—he could really carry those colours! Over the years, we had become good friends. It’s only when I called to wish him on the occasion of the New Year that his son shared his condition. I am so glad I got to meet Bhaskar last week in the hospital, though I never thought it was my final goodbye. May your soul get sadgati. May the family Shoma, Uditvanu and the Times gang be strong to bear this loss.
For me.. its the loss of two great media friends - Pradeep and Bhaskar - gone too soon.”
