News 24×7 is a silent killer. It's like being on a treadmill where you can not turn off the keys. My friend Radha was a trait of union with a more lenient past where there was a world beyond the latest news and hot spots, a space for friendships, laughter, mentoring. And yes, for the news! RIP

He was brutal with scripts. Hard on show producers and anchors. And a demon on the dance floor. Could surpbad people of half his age. This will be my most lasting memory of him. Happy.
