"... "Hototogisu!" I waited and repeated, — And day dawned. This is said to have been composed in the early morning after having vainly attempted all night long to write a haiku on this subject, set by her teacher, Rogembo. It seems to me a very fine verse. She has at last identified herself with the hototogisu, and begins to sing like one. A similar verse, in which the bird can be heard, is Hie famous 13th century Cuckoo Song: Summer is icumen in Lhude sing cucu! But the verse attributed to Chiyo-jo seems to derive from one by Chowa, who died in 1715 aged 78."

Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.

I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
