Remembering Anil Saari

My dear friend Anil Saari Arora, an eminent Cine-theorist, cine-critic in India
died after a 6 month of unbearable suffering with stomach cancer in October 2005. He and I kept up a correspondence using e-mail and he presented me with his latest output of poetry which was prolific and ranged from trite to sublime Here is the obituary & an appreciation which I wrote about him, and was printed in the memorial volume published for an exhibition of paintings held in memory of him by his close artist friends in New Delhi. I was too ill myself in a coastal town in England and could not attend. Here is my assessment of Anil Saari’s life and work.
