/> The death of master-arranger Anil Mohile has plunged his family into unexpected grief.

A day after the bereavement musician -composer son Amar Mohile said softly, "We had no inkling that this was coming. My father was in good health. He went to sleep and he never woke up. When my mother called I rushed over. We took him to the hospital. But the doctors said he was gone for a good five hours. The good thing was he went painlessly. He had that peaceful look on his face .The smile never left him,even when he was alive."

Ironically not too many names from the music and entertainment industry showed up at the Mohiles' residence in Andheri after the tragedy.

Trying to play down the celebrity apathy the son says, "Lots of people have texted me. And some people have come to visit. But it was all so suddenly and we couldn't keep him at home after death,so...But we're having a condolence meeting at the Siddharth Hall,Ambedkar Bhavan in Andheri for all his friends and well-wishers on Sunday. My father has been part of the music industry for so many years. He was a very positive and happy person. He generated a lot of goodwill in the industry."

Amar is now a full-fledged composer and arranger.He has scored music for Ram Gopal Varma and arranged music for blockbusters like Singham "I started playing the piano when I was 15. In 1993 when I was 17 I accompanied my father to the US and Canada to play the keyboard on stage with Lataji. It was a great beginning for my career.And my father was proud of me. In fact Anandji(of the Anand-Milind composing duo) who came home after my father's demise, said my father was vey proud of me. My only regret is, I wasn't here near him during his last hours."

Amar had moved out of the family home after marriage to a place nearby. "But by the time I reached it was over.My father worked with the best of composers .I've seen him at studio recordings of songs. Nowadays everything is done on a computer. But in those days there used to be a live orchestra with live instrumentalists and singers singing each line without techno-props.I'm lucky enough to have lived through the golden era of film music. For that I will always be grateful to my father."
