Shri Ratan Tata

Why does losing him feel so so personal? Why? To be very honest, I knew he was a good man, a great industrialist and a kind person who did/was doing a lot for society. I never went and researched deep down as to what has he done, what were his achievements but I knew that there is this kind man who exists, who is very cool, positive and is honest. He sure looked handsome and his Instagram posts were nothing but writings of inspiration (the captions). He was a natural, sure he might have his share of doings that could have been better but don’t know why, I feel he was a good person.

Him passing away feels very personal because my notion, my belief of such a man existing just broke! In my heart I now feel this man who gave me a sense of comfort that positive, kind, good people exists is no more in my world. He left for his heavenly abode yesterday and while I was like I feel sad, I feel a little moved – I didn’t cry. While, today, when I saw someone share something as to how this feels personal, I kind of broke down and started writing this.

Mr. Ratan Tata Sir,

You left a mark in our lives. You were truly someone I looked up to even though I might not have known a lot about you. But you giving that sense of comfort, that sense of positivity was something I valued beyond words.

People posted so much about him yet this post by Amul India (always the best) striked a cord in my heart. He was a gem, his deeds were golden, his heart was shining with kindness and love, his way of life was I assume simple and he just used things that were enough to help him lead a good life.

Below are some of his posts I love!

Mr. Ratan Tata sir, you were a great leader and the most pure source of inspiration. I hope you are at ultimate peace now, have met your cute furry friends in the heaven, and you are looking down to all of us who dearly miss you. Some of us might be very close to you and your deeds, while some like me would just a little bit about your deeds but a lot about you as a person.

Thank you for all your contributions, for all your help, and for being a great source of honesty and inspiration.

We will miss you, always!
