The man in disguise
UPAL DEB
The man who chose to be an ordinary one,
inspite of having the knowledge of the whole world.
He, a living encyclopedia.
Hadn't any pride.
Could achieve many prizes: nobel or otherwise,
But for him fame had just no meaning.
He, a true bibliophile.
Possessed a heart so kind,
as well as a critic in true nature,
A guide, teacher, extraordinaire.
Rejected all the earthly pleasure.
His smile,captivating.
His way of talking so appealing.
He was funny in his brutal manner.
It is impossible for anyone to unfold his deepest chapters
for he was as a mystery.
And we fondly addressed him as "Gurudev"
and will always be.
