I asked Rajan about this who in turn offered an sheepish smile and said “Vikram, it is on the loft”. As I entered his house, I started looking for the famous FilmFare trophy and could not find it in the drawing hall which normally is ‘the’ place to display the glory.

He was a known name in Hindi Film industry and had won Film Fare Award for the blockbuster “ Ghayal”. I still remember my first visit to his house in Andheri when I agreed to work on the screenplay of Purush. But memories still linger and this is the tribute to those memories. And when they die, then, the nourishment such a relationship requires vanishes and that part within us dies an instantaneous death. Through their arts we possess them, almost personalise them. We relate to writers through their books, painters through their paintings, actors through their portrayal of a character, directors through their productions and so on and so forth. At that moment I scribbled on the paper, “Relationships that you cherish do not require physical proximity”. I was also surprised since we had not even met during at least the last 10 odd years if not more. I was stunned for some time, bereft of any emotion. This is not an emotional statement but a fact experienced by me when I read the news on the internet of Rajan’s sudden death due to a massive cardiac arrest this week. When a friend dies, something within you also dies instantaneously. Here he gives a very personal and heartfelt tribute to the ace cinematographer, Rajan Kothari:.
