I wish you speedy recovery to normalcy, and I am sure you will ensure the needed restraint and caution in the activities that you are shouldering upon. He was to quick to respond: " Thank you for your kind wishes. Nice of you, Sir for the personal message".  He used to speak his points admirably well, in open sessions. We did have several rounds of closed meetings, both before and after his forming HYD.  Rarely he missed any proceedings in SC  or HC but pe nsioners' movement.will miss him for ever. My heartfelt condolences to his family members, dear and near. May his soul rest in peace! Nostalgia:  Our association started 22 years back.
