    I am so sorry for your loss. Ramesh was the most gentle, wonderful person and it was a true privilege to be one of his physicians. Every visit I had with him was special, because he would usually share something from his life that was important, and it was almost always about “family.” He was a true gentleman.

    I am privileged and fortunate enough to be the last batch (1993-’94) student of Dutta sir here in the department of English, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India.
    He made an indelible impression on me both as a teacher and a wonderful human being…
    My salutations to the great soul????????????
