Satish Kaushik’s cousin Subhash, who lives in Dhanonda village, says with tears in his eyes, ‘He was very attached to me. Maybe because he was older in age, so he always took care of me like a younger brother. He would have called me once in a week to inquire about my well-being. Whenever he came to the village, his favorite food was bajra roti and mustard greens. He liked to go around the village sitting on a camel cart.

Subhash tells that Satish used to have a lot of affection for the people of the village and used to organize social programs in the village every year. Subhash Kaushik’s son Sunil told that even before coming to the village, Tauji used to call me and ask what program was in whose house. He used to leave his work and go to these programmes. His sudden departure has caused great loss to the village.

Satish was an expert in climbing trees in childhood

Rajendra Singh Nambardar and Satish, who live in Dhanonda village, are friends since childhood. Rajendra Singh says, ‘When he used to come to the village during the summer holidays as a child, we used to roam around the whole village throughout the day. As a child, we played a lot of gulli-danda, kabaddi and wrestling. We used to eat peel by going to Baba Dayal’s johad in the village. We have had a lot of fun on the jaal trees in the village. Now his weight has increased a lot, but in his childhood he used to be lean and used to climb trees quickly.

Rajendra Singh told, ‘Whenever Satish used to come to the village, he would ask us to come to Mumbai. Every time we would avoid saying that we will come next time. How did anyone know that he would be gone so soon. His desire to take us around Mumbai remained unfulfilled. While saying this, Rajendra Singh’s throat got choked.
