Manohar Malgonkar died on June 14 2010 and I came to know about it only today June 20 2010.
Shame on me and the media I follow.
I lapped up everything he wrote for The Statesman and Deccan Herald. I vividly remember his essay describing his visit to the Badami cave temples.
Like Khushwant Singh, he was one of the finest Indian writer of English prose after 1950's.
Every time I travelled from Miraj to Bangalore by a train, I knew he was not very far until train reached Hubli.
Now any where I go he will never be too far.
