Friends,
*I received the sad & shocking news of the death of our
beloved friend Sri SPSood, Chandigarh Sri VCJain spoke to
me. A Stalwart of RIEA CGH, a true Activist in every sense,
a AIRIEF loyalist is no more. He was an ardent pensioner
following in continuity all the legal proceedings in minute detail.
He was a thinker, offerred many suggestions for pensioners
welfare. He was such a fine ,committed activist, he alongwith his
colleagues & OBs collected substantial donations for the legal fund.
They arranged a meeting with the then Sri Pawan Kumar Bansal,
submitted a Memorandum of pensioners. They even sought their
associated known advocate & his expert opinions were sent to
Sri Asthana.

**Sri SPSood was a fluent writer in English, Hindi, Urdu
couplets with English translation. He exhibited a balanced
temperament. We, myself, Mrs Seetha Kishore, Angurajan, BRMehta,
HDSharma met him & his family on March 23,2014. Mrs Kishore
presented a portrait of Shirdi Sai Baba & sacred ash,even
earlier I sent 4 line Mahamruthinjaya stotra to be recited 10 times
twice a day for which he was very thankful.I used to send some
clippings from Madras Cancer Institute to him.He replied his
illness comes under a different category.
***Sri
BRMehta told me just now that yesterday S/sri SNChhabra &
CMBhargave went to the private hospital where he was admitted.
Breathlessness in spite of oxygen mask deprived him of breathing &
today evening, he passed away. The news is shocking & unbearable. We
are unable to believe this as March witnessed a recovery but last few
days the situation aggravated & deteriorated.
****I recall the 3rd inside Cover Page of KURUKSHETRA Booklet
where, among many couplets he used to liberally & forcefully
sprinkle,this adorns & how meaningful & true it is :
As Asadullah Khan Ghalib has so aptly put it,
"Rau mein hai raksh-e-umar kahaan dekhiye thhamey
Nai haath baag par hai na pa hai rakaab mein"
Age travels at galloping pace: who knows where it will stop.We do
not have the reins in our hands nor our feet in the stirrups ---S.P.SOOD
Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.May his soul rest in peace
We pray the Almighty to shower strength & fortitude to his family to withstand this irreparable loss.
Yours mournfully
Seetha/Kishore
