Every drop in the sea of humanity at the Shivaji Park and that outside, was personally bereaved on Sunday. It was a permanent loss of an elderly person. Balasaheb, as I saw him from a distance, was a personality in politics but remained far away from its dirt. Quite uncommon! He touched an emotional chord in everybody's heart. Shivaji Park turned Shiv-Tirtha in the real sense. That sea will never forget this sea.
