This is His Life
Smruthi Ranganathan
An avid follower of music and poetry, Kapadia fondly recollects instances from school, where he was actively involved in dramatics and staged many plays. But for the mountains, he probably would have ventured into theatre and dramatics.
A chance encounter at the yoga class led to an acquaintance with him. As I walked into class, the students of the earlier batch gathered around me enquiring about a loud bang that they had just heard. It was a mere tyre burst but somebody cheekily referred to me as ‘the bomb lady’. This was Harishbhai as he is known to most of us and it marked the beginning of my encounter with the Himalaya. For the uninitiated, he can easily pass off as any ordinary pensioner leading a sedate city life.

In a way it was good, because at 18 or 19—or however old I was when I wrote it—I was too young even to partly know the things I wanted to do in my life. But the three things I still remember from the list were wanting to watch Sachin Tendulkar bat, Jagjit Singh sing, and meet Ameen Sayani, the greatest voice I had ever heard.
