Abstract
Great men are the true men in whom nature has prospered. They are not extra-ordinary – they are in the true order, what they are ought to be. They reached the summit by doing their jobs in hand with everything they had of energy, enthusiasm and hard work. More importantly, they made every man who came in contact with them feel great. Autar Singh Paintal who passed away on December 21, 2004 in Delhi was indeed such a great man who will be remembered not only for his contributions in Physiology but also for his acts of altruism.
