Among all those dreams, one was special — to send this book to Nana Patekar sir.
I often imagined him reading my words, and I would check my messages daily, hoping for a reply.
But today, that hope broke. Nana sir is no longer with us. I had dreamt of sending him a handwritten letter along with my book — a small tribute from one storyteller to another. Like many dreams, this one will remain incomplete.
Wherever he is today, I hope he sees this message. His honesty and courage will continue to live on in our stories.
Rest in eternal peace, Nana sir.
