You never know when you're making a memory
All you can see is a simple SMILE, a SELF-ASSURANCE in the word and DYNAMISM in act when you meet YSR. These 3 ardor’s are driving factors for a LEADER and it always fills energy and CONFIDENCE to people round him with SELF-RELIANCE anytime. When many political seniors were SHUFFLING the grounds and roots from all the parties, he was planting NEW young leaders and budged them to new pinnacles of politics. His unwavering COMMITMENT with a striking smile and his deep SENSITIVITY to problems of the poor and the needy and CARENESS that he shows on anyone he meets is in fact a long LASTING MEMORY. It was a TIRELESS commitment and SERVICE to the people especially to the poor and unprivileged.
One of the close ally of YSR approached me with an opportunity to paint the portrait of YSR’s father (Raja Reddy) who by then passed away, I added to make that portrait with YSR along with his Son Jagan. I started gathering the stills of YSR from every corner to select the best expression. As an artist I was so surprised to see that any moment one thing remained with him was his ever lasting smile. There is no value or cost to buy that simple emotion for any human being, which is his beautiful SMILE.
When we presented the portrait of his father which also had him and his son, he was so arousing and happy for an instant. In the crowd of thousands around him with shielded crown as CM, he was simply a SON of his FATHER who he missed by then. Though he had conquered the hearts of many and crowned the great potent around him, he only had memories of his FATHER in factual life which cannot be filled with any treasures of the world. The identical reflection of this heartrending personal loss is intolerable for any family to stand.
We pass our deep sense of sorrow and undergoing as personal loss that we learnt of the tragic and untimely demise of YSR. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family members. We pray to god to give them strength and the fortitude to guide them in this hour of profound Personal loss.
His legacy WILL LIVE on and WILL INSPIRE and WILL CONTINUE many others in the time to come.
