ALT I cannot imagine whom I will talk to this weekend, or with whom I will share those precious moments when I next visit my hometown. I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn from my friend Dr. Eamon Dutta that his younger brother, Suman Dutta—my childhood friend and fellow musician—has left this world. It is difficult to believe he is gone. I had spoken with him only last weekend, and we had been in regular touch. My friend is no more. Losing a childhood friend so suddenly is truly heartbreaking. A Life Dedicated to Music: Suman was much more than a gifted artist. He was an entrepreneur in the music industry of Northeast India, a significant contributor to Western music in India, a promoter, and a mentor to many budding artists from the region. He was also a devoted family man. No words can fully capture his contribution or the impact he had on those around him. His music will always reflect his deep love for the state he belonged to. We will miss you buddy..
