“There are no favours among friends.” That’s what Pritish Nandy told me when I reached out to him for help a couple of years ago. It wasn’t just a statement, it reflected the essence of who he was: a true friend, straightforward, and dependable. Pritish was more than a fearless journalist; he was a visionary who shaped an era with his bold ideas and unflinching voice.

For those of us who eagerly awaited The Illustrated Weekly of India during his time as editor, it wasn’t just a magazine, it was a lifeline to thought-provoking stories, fresh perspectives, and fearless commentary. Week after week, it arrived, straight off the press, and left us inspired.

His passing feels personal, like the loss of someone who profoundly impacted the way we think and engage with the world. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Pritish’s legacy will live on in his words, his courage, and the countless lives he touched along the way.

You will be missed sir!??
