It has been 6 years since Nitu left us. In his fond memory, an evening was organised at Ravindra Natyamandir, Mumbai. Over the period of 32 years as a Cardiac Surgeon, Nitu has operated on over 12,000 patients from different strata of society.
Four of them shared their thoughts and experiences about their beloved doctor -
1) Dr. Sambhargi, operated in 1997, was recently awarded as a practicing doctor after the age of 75
2) Maharudra Swami, operated in 1994 for the second time, is a Farmer's son from a small village near Nanded. Nitu had taken full responsibility for his treatment including hospital expenses.
3) Chandrakant Shimankar, operated in 1986, is a farmer. On hearing of Nitu's sudden demise, Chandrakant walked from his village for 2 days to attend the condolence meeting on 24th May 2003.
4) Dr. Sanjay Mone, operated in 2000 on his first wedding anniversary, is a popular Marathi theatre and film personality.
Since Nitu was very fond of music and fine arts a group of young singers & musicians performed at the memorial concert. The program was well appreciated by all. Thank you for all your love and continual support.
