"Those days (1967-68), they would not take
young people for news reading but only ones
with mature voices. Pratima Puri and Gopal
Kaul were regular faces then. But Kaul never
wanted to read news so once, when it was
time to read news, he entered the office with a
shaven head! The panic-stricken producer
started looking for someone to replace him
and they zeroed in on me. I was asked to give
a quick audition. When I came back to the
control room after the audition, I witnessed a
pin-drop silence and everyone sitting stunned.
With a chocking voice I asked what happened,
and was told that I read the 15-minutes news
so quickly that they could not even start the
roll! DD finally realized that they should train
people for news reading too!”

A bachelor to the end, X fell in love with writer Y and
singer Sudha Malhotra, relationships that never
fructified in the conventional sense and left him sad.
Ironically, the two ladies' fathers wouldn't accept him,
an atheist, because of his perceived religion. The
young lady (Y), madly in love, wrote his name
hundreds of times on a sheet of paper while
addressing a press conference. They would meet
without exchanging a word, he would puff away;
after his departure, she would smoke the cigarette
butts left behind by him. After his death, she said she
hoped the air mixed with the smoke of the butts
would travel to the other world and meet him.

Founded in 1888, the KGS (Kanpur ________
Society) is closely linked to Hindu nationalist
organizations RSS and BJP.
The KGS product profile ranges from mosquito
coils to aftershave lotions, from face packs to
phenyl. But their latest offering, Goloka Pay has
really put them on the map. It is a cold drink
concentrate laced with X (5% of total volume)
which is doing reasonably well in the market.
The idea of creating a soft drink first came
when Baba Ramdev lashed out at Coke and
Pepsi. “That was when we began work on this
healthy alternative. Along with X it contains
herbs like tulsi, brahmi & shankhpushpi,” says
the KGS general secretary.
