Raghu Karnad, the son of the famous writer-actor Girish Karnad, who died Monday morning, went to Instagram Thursday to pay a sincere tribute to his emblematic father.
Sharing a photo of the framed Girish picture placed on a table next to flowers, he writes, "The picture that starts to root in my head is that of Appa in his place on the sofa, his hand around a glbad of whiskey bubbling gently. with pieces of history, legend, song, folk tale and philosophy. It was the man I loved.
Raghu recounted the last days of the 81-year-old playwright: "On Saturday night, he did a series of audio interviews with Arshia Sattar. Sunday evening, the family was sitting and warmed by the long lines of sun on the terrace. I gave him his physio and my sister cut his nails. We talked about new difficult problems with his body. It was sad, but not only sad. Monday morning, he was gone.
Finally, thanking all the supporters and critics of Girish, he concludes: "We all feel a lot of love, relief and gratitude. Thank you for the many messages about how you felt enriched by your life and work. The opposite is also true. His life and his work have been enriched and enriched by gurus and teachers, aunts and sisters, friends, collaborators, directors, students, publishers, actors, readers, rivals, helpers, very important drivers – and many drinking buddies. During his last weeks and even his last hours, I've heard many of these names. Thank you all for having built the extraordinary person that he was.

The picture that comes to my mind is that of Appa in his place on the couch, his hand around a glbad of whiskey gently bubbling with fragments of history, legends, songs, folk tales and philosophy. It was the man I loved. As many friends have pointed out, he had a sense of impeccable timing. Last weekend, my sister and I were at home for the wedding of a friend. On Saturday night, he performed a series of audio interviews with Arshia Sattar. Sunday evening, the family was sitting and warmed by the long lines of sun on the terrace. I gave him his physio and my sister cut his nails. We talked about new difficult problems with his body. It was sad, but not only sad. On Monday morning he was gone. Since then, since then, it feels like a tribute to Appa that the house and my mind swirl with tongues; Konkani, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, English, Hindi, without much misunderstanding. We all feel a lot of love, relief and gratitude. Thank you for the many messages about how you felt enriched by your life and work. The opposite is also true. His life and his work have been enriched and enriched by gurus and teachers, aunts and sisters, friends, collaborators, directors, students, publishers, actors, readers, rivals, helpers, very important drivers – and many drinking buddies. During his last weeks and even his last hours, I've heard many of these names. Thank you all for having built the extraordinary person that he was.
