1.	How did the writer come to know about Shahid\'s approaching death? What was his reaction to it?
Answer» When Shahid asked Gosh for the first time that he was going to die and requested him to write something about him, Ghosh was spellbound and dumbfounded. He could not even find words. how to respond. He tried to console him “Oh dear! I can’t see a thing…I hope this doesn’t mean that I am dying,” The fear of death was very clearly apparent in Shahid’s tone of voice and usage of words. He got scared when he felt for the first time that he was dying. When his occasional memory lapses became more serious with the passage of time, the realization of death drawing nearer becomes stronger. When he was in a conversation with Amitav Ghosh, he said in a clear ringing voice- “When it happens, I hope you will write something for me.” The writer could think of nothing to say on such a topic. He consoled him that he would get well soon. But at last, he had to promise, “I’ll do the best I can.” From that very day, the writer started keeping a record of all the conversations and meetings he had with Shahid. This record helped him to fulfill his pledge.Copy paste hai but sahi hai....
