Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep My first editor, and one of the finest human beings I have encountered in life and journalism, Darryl D’Monte has just passed away. Generous in spirit and a sensitive soul, he helped build a terrific team of reporters for the TOI in Mumbai in the 80s/90s. Will miss you sir!
