The Unbearable Heaviness of Being: On the Passing of Naren Gupta (Part 9)

On Christmas morning, Dominique and I had breakfast in bed and watched a film on Charles de Gaulle. It specifically focused on how, as the French President capitulated to Hitler, General Charles de Gaulle went to Churchill to reverse that decision and keep fighting in World War II.

In an unorthodox, typically Churchill way, he was supported. One single man. A man with no country, as France had taken away De Gaulle’s citizenship. One man with no resources.

One man with conviction.

Only a man like Churchill could have supported a man like De Gaulle.

Churchill was a great favorite of Naren’s.

I made a mental note to mention it to Naren. He would love the film.

I had no idea that Naren, at that moment, was traveling on.

That I would never see him again.
