The house now houses his books that lived and stood mute reminders of his presence now in close proximity, to give credence to those days years and hours he spent, wheeled out from one to the other space, silently reading and rereading his ‘aatmakatha’ – as though he wished to relive his journey again and again. One that he had confessed that would he have another life then it would be this and no other, with all its pain, happiness struggles and achievements. All. As would I,” he wrote on his blog.
