P(l)ainly Speaking

I have known about Mr Sanyal but never met him - a great writer with simplicity of expression par excellence. My condolence to his family.

My interaction with Mr Sanyal was restricted to the telephone when I was working for Deccan Chronicle and he was writing a column for students on the correct usage of English language. I was awed at his meticulousness. He would call the day before to update me on the status of his column, call back to inform he had faxed it and then call back again to find out if all was well. Sad that the Guru of English Usage is no more.
