First met Novy Kapadia 25 years ago in Jabalpur & was amazed at this DU professor who was an authority on Indian football. Few have given so selflessly to Indian football. RIP my friend, I can almost hear your voice in my head commenting excitedly on a Kolkata derby

Prayers for the solace, protection and progress of Novy Kapadia's soul in its onward journey towards haurvatat (perfection) and ameratat (immortality).

Immensely grateful for the times spent in his company and for the learnings from the master of football. https://t.co/yUNuqpHO9h

In the 90s and early 2000s, the Kolkata derby matches my dadu and I could not to to, Novy Kapadia's commentary got those matches to us in our living rooms.
