He would guide about 40 of us to a new 43 spot every time. He made us sing, act, dance and play. He told us of his 44 days, when soldiers even risked their lives to save others 45 they were from diverse backgrounds. With Raj Sir around, we all got along well too, and felt like a 46 family.

A few years after I graduated from college, I was told that Raj Sir had 47 . I was very 48 . It was hard to imagine that someone so lively was no more.

Mr Raj-e-Bijli 49 by example that it isn’t 50 to provide for oneself and one’s family; it’s just as important to help and guide others.
