Cartoonist Sudhir Tailang Rip

I remember those days Which began on a positive note With my copy of ‘Hindustan Times' Carrying cartoons of Sudhir Tailang Day to day and invariably Leaving a delicate smile on my face Some times they amazed Some times they dazed Some times they played eye-opener Some times they did soul-searching Always feeling the pulse of our society Or dismayed by our moribund polity. In your demise, we have lost A true well-wisher Of the faceless masses Of Deaf and dumb people Fighting for their floating rights And for a dignified existence Disgusted by those managing the stage. (Lived from February 26,1960 to February 6,2016)
