Helpful to a fault
May 17, 2021
As with a lot of us, I reconnected with most from the batch of SCS 1981 a few years ago thanks to WhatsApp. Sunil was one such and I met him just the once after that, at a dinner at Malvinder Rikhy’s place.
While one could recount stories from our school days, I’m sharingmy last one on one interaction with him.
Being consultant to a music business portal called Music Plus, I was looking for a freelance contributor who was strong on economics and obviously asked Chips if he could do a few pieces.
Candid as ever, he said he didn’t know a sauce about the music business but immediately recommended Vanita Kohli Khandekar. Not just that, he made the introduction between us in his usual humorous style and then even followed up to ask if we’d managed to forge an alliance.
Given his busy schedule, it was unexpected and very touching. But that was Sunil.
Thank you again, buddy. You’re forever in our hearts.
