[Reader-list] P Lal passes away

[V Ramaswamy]

Calcutta lost one of her illustrious sons yesterday, when Purushottam Lal,
teacher of literature, poet, writer, trans-creator and publisher, passed
away, at the age of 81.

A magnetic personality, he had inspired generations of students, poets and
writers. He represented the best of Calcutta's cosmopolitanism and
intellectual vitality.

He shall be deeply missed, and Calcutta will never be the same again.
