Rasikbhai was truly a man of fragrance
With humble beginnings of significance

He lived a fragrant philanthropic life
As he rose to the pinnacle in this life

His proffessional life is a story of gold
In a book "Fragrant journey ...." well told

With social service and education galore
His personal life's story reads like folklore

A strict disciplinarian, a rationalist
At heart truly he was a philanthropist

A solid great friend but a severe cynic critic
In voicing bold views he remained emphatic

For vast repertoire of distinguished friends
He stood steadfastly at life's every bend

And Vaze would have been his second name
So close he was with Kelkar family of fame

They all were truly a family of fragrance
A long lifetime of many a remembrance

To Gujarati Samaj and hordes of schools
His service and donations were very cool

Donor he was of money, efforts and time
For a worthy cause each and everytime

Building libraries in villages was his call
His passionate dream always stood tall

Research in tissue culture and much more
His varied interests touched many a core

In Bhavnagar town he breathed his last
His story of 87 years ran seemingly fast

He leaves behind a unique legacy simply
Help others as well beyond one's family

Salute to Rasikbhai with heart and soul
On onward journey of his good noble soul

My elder brother in law, Rasikbhai was not only a Pioneer with sizeable business interest in the field of fragrances and related chemicals but was also a great philanthropist with emphasis on education,books, health, social welfare...

Written on his death eulogizing his life and efforts
