I always wondered
about the SIMPLICITY and EFFICIENCY of this gentleman which he carries
throughout his life. This may be the right time when many people will accept
his greatness which was underestimated many a times according to me. He proved
himself with his work every time. Some years back sir deserved to be a Vice
Chancellor of PU but as usual politics came and sir accepted tough charge of SRTMU,
Nanded. We found many people around us
who glitters a lot despite they are not gold BUT when I think about Nimse sir I
will recite a poem by JRR Tolkien –
“All that is
gold does not glitter,
Not all
those who wander are lost;
The old that
is strong does not wither,
Deep roots
are not reached by the frost.
From the
ashes a fire shall be woken,
Alight from
the shadow shall spring;
Renewed
shall be blade that was broken,
The
crownless again shall be king”
