I have very fond memories of Sardar Pritam Singh Kasad affectionately known to us as Bhapa Ji. He was a very lively and bright person. I have opportunity of first knowing him in Brantford, Ontario. He was a great poet and many of his poems still resounds in our mind. He was the centre of attention in all of our gatherings. Everybody listened to him very intently.
One incident that always come back to my mind is that during our last visit to India, Vaishali Travels made our arrangements for visiting Varanasi. On reaching Varanasi, when we found that the hotel is not what Vaishali Travels has arranged for, we called Bhapa Ji back in Delhi. He asked us to wait for fifteen minutes. Guess what. In just five minutes, his contacts started calling us and very quickly, we were moved to the best hotel in the town. He definitely carried a long stick also in the travel industry of India. We would remember him for a very long time.
