“Are you certain? I thought he had passed away.”

“I met him two weeks back. But he is in a pathetic condition. He lives in a one-room flat, surrounded by all those faded photographs of him receiving awards and performing at different events, and dust wrapped trophies and awards that are of no use to him.”

“How does he survive, financially I mean?” 

“Occasional donations; but donations are too infrequent.”

“Does he still play flute?”

“Never; he wants to hate his flute but he can’t.”

“Think of all the adulation that he received?”

“Wish he had been a bit worldly-wise?”
