Adieu, Obaidul Huq

Great souls never die but they live on amid their good deeds! The late journalist Obaidul Huq was such a great soul who will never die in our minds. We will remember him in his pious works. Obaidul Huq was an outstanding journalist, litterateur and a social reformer. Personally, I had the opportunity to come in touch with him. He used to encourage me in my writing while I used to write in the 'Young Observer' page of 'The Bangladesh Observer'. Indeed he was a soft-spoken, gentleman with exceptional human qualities. He was a great teacher who had all the skills to navigate his students in search of knowledge. I admire him from the core of my heart.
I was deeply shocked when I came to know about his death from a TV broadcast. Editor Obaidul Huq's demise is an irreversible loss to our nation! May Allah grant eternal peace to his soul!
