Vinod Dua – An obituary

Everyone I know seems to have a Vinod Dua story. Here is mine: I started using the word ‘बहरहाल’ after I heard him (and Prannoy Roy) on TV back in the days. His Hindustani was always very soft, poetic, but correct, and his penchant for satire, the way he pointed out someone’s nakedness without making even the naked person realise that they have just been exposed, was the mark of true old-fashioned journalism. A true journalist. One of the few that remained. He shall be missed.
