Vacuum void and absence of Rao
Madhu for some and honey for one

We miss you a lot, O Madhu Rao
Your sober looks, your sober smile
Your sober talks and sober style
A standard for soberness all the while

Not a hair out of its place
Not a word unwanted said
Wish you made a mistake somewhere
Nay, you wouldn’t be Madhu Rao then

A lover of sports, A beloved sport
A TT treat, A cricket champ
We’ll miss the thrill of “Rao, what happened then?”
Oh you’re so near and you’re so far

We’ve got to be impersonal in Industry you say
All parting in life is sad, we say

May success be yours, O Madhu Rao!
For ever and ever and ever and NOW.

Farewell to colleagues when he left the department
