Mihir Thatte remained an enigma to me - though I know him for over thirty years now. He was a bit of a rebel always, the elder of Shobha's cousins group, an activist, always fighting the system for social causes. It looked like he fought almost everything. A serious accident on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway which had two fatalities in the car he was driving, many months and surgeries in the hospital, a lonely life of which i knew little.On my last visit to Pune I spent time with him because we drove to Girivan together and we had a fine chat. A sudden illness and then he was gone. I think he would say something like Acha Phir Milenge.

Puneite forever. Pune will never be the same without him. That said, life will never be the same either.
