A friend who is himself a celebration, Dr. Trinetra Bajpai :Birthday Special, Event Photos

  You came to me as a surprise  gift from the great director Lekh Tondon (the man who made a big difference  to the careers of Shammi Kapoor and Shah Rukh  Khan among many others ) And you stayed on to be a friend  who was more than many times a friend .

You live friendship and keep the flame of friendship alive

                 I have marveled  and wondered  over your many - splendorous talent and have more often than not found it extremely difficult to describe you.  You are truly the epitome of excellence when it comes to living the meaning of friendship. You don"t have to be described as a friend. You live friendship and keep the flame of friendship  alive  and burning  bright. 

The teacher of life i had been looking for

   Ten years  ago, my life was going  on and then you came from across the seven seas and created many welcome  whirlpools in this life which was waiting for someone like you who could  be the friend I always wanted, the teacher of life i had been looking  for and even an elder brother (so what if you  were six months younger  than me ? ) and if i may say so even a father figure.

I may have received  many awards and honors and appreciation, but when a friend like you calls me "Ali Sahab" , all the other applause drowns in the sea that no one has seen.

 May seventy only  be seven and may you be a diamond  in the crown of life . The world should  be grateful  to one of its great sons . And if it hasn't , I make my gratitude  to you the gratitude of the world. Thank you  for just being you the "Bajpai Sahab" I have always known you as.

What more can I say about  a friend who has not only been a friend , but who is also a loving  husband, a caring father and an ideal human being who is loved by God even at the risk of being  called a partial God .
