RIP Sharma Ji

My prayers for his wife, son and friends and family!

This has been a terrible time for all of us, with each passing day it gets worse.

I haven't been regular here, yet have seen his name feature on lead post quite often. 

Stay safe everybody.

Thanks N.P.Sharma sir. He might have foreseen his death I assume because of late he used to write so many wonderful articles about jockeys ,trainers etc one after the other..He was in a hurry so that he could finish his thoughts about racing before he departed. A darling of HT will be missed by  one and all. God give you strength  that's all we can say.

Really shocked and saddened at the news. This person was so knowledgeable/humble which could be noticed in his numerous writings in this forum. He kept the forum alive writing about horses/owners/trainers and jockeys. The only subject he missed out maybe the officials/stewards and maybe he would have dealt them if he had not met his untimely death.

My condolences to his family.

Om Shanti, Om Shanti

Bolt from the blue which we never expected.

A truely amazing person who was the gentleman in every sense of the word.

Gone for ever to his resting place but will never be forgotten by his numerous friends and aquaintances.

It was a long assosiation we had over the years. And many time we used to be looking forward for his friendly calls.

The world will go on and he will look over us from above.

Our warmest love to his near and dear ones and God blessings ALWAYS

Some of you wanted to know about S C SHARMA. Basically his origin is from Hyderabad. His schooling,college education upto post graduation also from Hyderabad. Started his career as press reporter ( correspondent) in local news paper, but later joined bank job as officer. After few years resigned his job as he was more fascinated towards racing and enjoyed in racing. He has only one son, settled in America. He wanted to settle at Pune. He booked a flat at magarpata, Pune, but destiny kept away ....He had writing skill from childhood and got free time to write during corona lock down period. He kept himself in restricted  limited circle. Since last few years he started again writings and giving his comments and selections. A dedicated man always to his profession/ likings and was planning his retired peaceful life at Pune. He expired at the age of 66 and has left behind his wife and only son Aashish who reached after few hours his death from America. He never use to go out during pendemic lockdown,but was found corona positive in 3rd week September and then was hospitalised, never to return back. I thank Indiarace.com and it's readers very much for praying for his soul to rest peace.

It seems his last letter was in HT forum. on 11- 9- 2020. He wrote in it as corona-19 pandemic given  me  some leisure  time  +++  . The topic was The Top performers and  Historians of Indian Horse Racing. It  was  very big letter.

I humbly feel that we can remember his name as one of The Top performers and  Historians of HT writers of Indiarace.com .

Great loss to this field.  Let his soul rest in peace .

An absolute shocker ! Never wanted to hear such sharp-hitting sad news...!! I was highly critical of S C Sharma at times as we mostly held divergent views. However, I never missed reading any of his posts. During real race time, his selections used to be very straight-forward but on most of the occasions he had winner/place among them. As someone who firmly stood by his decisions, I often admired his abilities, though he was having a lot of limitations to express. N P Sharmaji, I know how much lonely you must have been rendered by his death. Will be grateful if you can apprise us with more information like how old was he, actually how he was afflicted by Covid-19 and whether he was hospitalised for long.....and something about his family too. May his soul rest in peace. God, please listen to us.

M P Reddy said ...

A bolt from the blue. He was erudite, and a certain degree of honesty came out of his writings, which made so many HTians like him. I absolutely agree with Cruise. S.C. Sharma was instrumental in making Horsetalk a place to come back to, in the days of Corona with his lucid articles. 

May the almighty bestow upon the bereaved family the strength to bear the loss.

You'll remain etched in our memories, Sir. Om Sadgati.

Very tragic and shocking , in this corona time we all ht readers used to read his articles on various subject of racing always in detail untill 12thSeptember after that iam sure many of us searched for new posts of    s c sharma.  in this few months he completely dominated horse talk with his writings appreciated  by almost all, my heartfelt condolences to sharmaji Family.

Cruise_b'lore said ...

05-Oct-2020

Nothing short of a tragedy. The passing away of Shri SC Sharma is indeed heartbreaking. In fact, I was wondering as to why Mr Sharma suddenly stopped interacting in last few days and now we get to hear of his sad demise.
 

It was his efforts that saw 'horsetalk' ticking at a good pace during the lockdown and subsequent pandemic days. His regular articles/postings kept boredom away.

I feely saddened by his sudden demise.

May the soul of sportive Sharma rest in eternal peace. I also wish the 'One Supreme' to give strength and courage to his family members and friends to overcome the loss of their loved one,

SC Sharma, you will be missed by all of us. I wish you eternal bliss and peace.

with a heavy heart,
Cruise

RIP Sir 

It is huge huge shock for all the HT'ians in IR.com and this vacuum cannot be filled by anyone in the nearest possible times. Ardent writer, expert in his own way of defining this sport, sharing his personal experiences and also immaculate study of races and identifying winners has been the Hallmark of SC Sharma Sir. It is indeed unfortunate day for every HT'ian to lose him and his Guidance.

I pray GOD to give strength to Sir Ji's Family Members to bear this huge irreperable Loss. 

Recent times, Many have shown immense urgeny in HT for early start of Races. I only say, Lets live and survive 2020 completely and lets think of sport later as there has been spate of Losses of experts particularly in this sport and moreover loss of so many human lives in both personal and Professional front should make one and all to think about ourselves surviving first. Incidentally, Sharma Sir also pointed out many a times about Covid and surviving first and went to quote further that this sport will still be there in 2021 also and thereon afterwards. It is sad, to lose him ...

we will miss you sir.....Rip Sir

Unbelievable ,shocking. Such a flamboyant WRITER who thrilled the HT followers through his articles in covid time .He was so gentle to all his innumerable followers and never gets angry very polite to every reply .I don't how we will be missing him in future.
