Bhabha was the last of the Mohicans and all the Chamber-mates with tables, big and small, are all gone; and I think we, who do remember, are all the poorer for it.

Like foam on the river
Like a bubble on the fountain
Thou art gone, and forever

People like Cooper do not really die. They will live in the history of this Court. This will be a void difficult to fill. We will sorely miss him: his presence, his benign smile, his vast repertoire of jokes and his vast knowledge of law.

When we are born, we come here with a return ticket. Life is one of the only products in which there is always an expiry date. The only difference is that there is no law which requires the expiry date to be printed on the product. Therefore when we are born, the day on which we will go is embedded on our forehead. Unfortunately, we cannot read that date. People around us cannot read that date. It is God who decides when he takes you away.

A keen student of yoga and was fond of hiking and sojourning in hill-stations.
