Justice S. Mohan, former Supreme Court judge, and longtime resident of Mylapore passed away after a brief illness on Dec.27. He was 89 years old.
Justice Shanmughasundaram Mohan, Born on 11.2.1930.
An author of several books in English and Tamil including collections of poems, Justice Mohan was president of the World Congress of Poets for six years during 2004-2010.
Justice S. Mohan, a Judge, Poet, Author, a connoisseur of Carnatic Music, avid tennis and cricket player, adorned this great institution admirably between October 1991 to February1995.
Seeking divine blessings to make him “A Tree”, Justice Mohan very aptly sings, “
Weary I am of earning my daily bread
Let me be rid of this World of hatred,
Where calumny is common.. jealousy, the creed Acrimony is in abundance, smallness is the breed,
Pray make me a tree like the one in the forest, For a tired traveler under my shade could rest. Pray make me a tree like the one in the forest, For the singing birds to perch and nest.
.....
Yet it felled, I remain faithful to the ‘Sire’
As logs of woods, to kindle many a fire Reduced to cinder and ashes without a trace, Uno dust I return with no ill grace”
Little wonder that he served as the President of the World Congress of Poets between 2004-2010.
Yes, Justice Mohan will live for long.
