My dearest Doctor Kaka:

You were a first born…
Not just to our dearest Tara ba,
But to the world at large!

To those who loved,
To those who cared!

To those who were kind,
To those who were generous!

To those who sought nothing,
Yet gave everything!

Your entire life,
Every iota of it…

Was a statement of love,
Was an uprising of affection…

An embodiment of grace,
An expression of kindness…

A personification of generosity,
A saga of selflessness…

You were a pillar of strength to all,
With skills unmatched,
And humility too!

You had no favourites,
Yet you were a favourite to all,

How did you do this?

As a child, you were my idol!
And you still are…

Your life continues to inspire,

Reminding us of the fundamental good there is.

At 100, you are still young!
Eternity is where you belong!
