DARA SINGH

            BY------DEVENDRA KUMAR
 
The sad news that veteran wrestler cum actor DARA SINGH ceased to exist in flesh and blood came as a bolt from the blue.The entire nation plunged into grief and mourning.It is an irreperable loss to the nation and the void created by his demise can not be filled.Dara singh had many feathers in his cap.As a wrestler, he stood second to none.He fetched laurels for the country by walloping much vaunted foreigner wrestler.He also made many wrestlers lick the dust in the competitions.He was a kind and gentle person. Inside his stout and sturdy body lay a soft and compassionate heart.
     AS a actor he was par excellence.Who can forget his role as Hanuman in the classic serial "Ramayan"? He acted superbly and adorably and won many accolades.I wish he had lived for some more years, but man is a puppet at the hands of invisible and invincible Super power whose will ultimately prrevails.
       I pay my homage to the departed soul and offer my condolence to the bereaved family.
         May his soul rest in peace!
