A grand looking yet low profile outstandingly successful real estate tycoon. He died at the age of 50 of a brain stroke that culminated into multiple organ failure. Today he is survived by wife Ms. Chitra Singh, elder son Avijit, daughter in law Sukriti, younger son Shaktijit. Four sisters and their families. And countless person he was friendly with. PK Sahib was a magnanimous person. A great soul. I have so many memories associated to him which I would like to share with everyone because time may pass bye but he will live forever in my heart and in the hearts of innumerable people he was associated in many ways. I knew about him, in a bit surprising development, when I got a email from Avijit that he wants to marry my daughter. The same day I had my daughter's mail requesting me the same way. I decided to first verify the astrological compatibility of my daughter with everyone of this new family and later it was decided that we will personally meet. We met in January 2007, when I visited his house with my wife Ranjana. I noticed that on the front gate of Mr. PK Singh's house at sector-12 Indira Nagar, a large pot filled with fresh water was placed on the right side of the gate? My daughter navigating the route for me on phone ,she told me, that water is for the stray animals. I was moved. In the drawing room I met him for the first time. A six footer, designer curta pajama clad grand male with glowing radiance on the face met me with open arms. Within minutes he jokingly told me, '..This marriage will have to take place, even if you were not ready. We like the girl. My wife appreciates her. She is a gem...' His wife, Ms. Chitra Singh was no less than him in any manner, hardly any wife compliments her husband in the way she did. I noticed that she was wearing the same colors my daughter preferred. When I asked her whether it was planned, she laughed loudly, '..Not at all but it happens mostly...' My daughter's words echoed in my ears, 'Papa, Ma (for Chitra Singh) and I have almost identical choices & preference, when she started talking. Without any fuss she confessed that she also consulted my daughter's horoscope with their family astrologer and found that she is more than compatible with everyone in the family. When I asked Mr. PK Singh and his wife Chitraji about their dowry expectations. Spontaneously both of them said,'..Nothing..' and the same day everything was decided. The marriage was solemnised on November 21, 2007 and both Mr & Mrs Singh cooperated with me in every possible manner. After sometime my daughter noticed that his eyes were getting a yellow tinge. I offered her to arrange medical examination at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow but she stopped me, '..Papa (he) hates getting sympathies. He will never accept your offer...' I don't know how but the situation started turning critical day by day. There were several occasions when he was not ill and on all those occasions either he was attending his family members, sisters & their families, friends or throwing away parties at his home or farm house. His condition started growing from bad to worse. When everyone insisted he okayed getting examined at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital at New Delhi. There they advised immediate liver transplant. His sons were ready to provide their liver lobes, but he refused. When I questioned it, he glanced at me seriously,'...I have read enough about post liver transplant traumas. I know one has to take anti-resistance drugs till one lives and still the survival is not more than three years. Why should I waste my son's liver. I will prefer alternative medical treatment...' In a brief period I grown so fond of him that during the period he was terminally ill I prayed almost every divinity to grant him some more lease of life. I even offered to share my life span in return.On 17 Oct 2008 he went into a coma and never recovered. He was so king hearted that even after his every organ malfunctioned his heart kept beating. His wife Chitra was not surprised at this, on the day of his funeral she murmured, '...it was me at that so why would his heart stop....I prayed him to evacuate me out and after sometime, it was over.' Yes, it actually happened. When Chitra requested him to do so, minutes later the doctors declared that he was no more. Read More

I was a kid when I saw box office hit hindi movie 'Waqt'. It was film about a successful and budding rich merchant (Balraj Sahni), a proud father and a loving husband, overnight turned a miser, loner & a convict, after a devastating earthquake followed by storm and all other calamities. The story had several twists and turns and a great court room dramma. Its theme song ' waqt se din aur raat, waqt se jal aur aaj' touched me to the core, especially, 'Admi ko chahiyeh waqt say darr kar rahay'( Everyone should fear the time, in a split-second time tilt every scale upside down!). Today, after a series of developments in my life I am capable of understanding it. Briefly : 1-never be overconfident about the destiny. 2- Our attainments depend a lot on our time management. 3- Right Karma (action) may change bad luck. Read More
