Today is exactly one month since you left us Baba.

Today is exactly one month since you left us Baba. It seems permanent now; You are not coming back anymore. The last 31 days have been the worst any of us have ever lived. I keep dreaming about us all being together when we were kids. Oh what I will give to go back there for just one more day. Sleep eludes me, even nightmares have stopped showing up.
.
What won’t I give to go back to this day. Oct 2018. Two years ago when we all were there together. Dad loved to have us all around him all the time. Life used to come in the way of that though, as we are all grown ups but moments like these were worth everything. We had surprised Mom and Dad by planning a vacation to Kolkata and not telling them that we were coming. Me, tall A& baby A came home and the look on Dad’s face when he saw us walk in was worth every bit of planning. @pas_de_chance.123 was also there and @choudharyjaya9 , our sister from another mother. We all had so much fun together. @sweta.pal you were missed so much. @prasun_05 you too. @debjanibhattachar do you remember those happy few days of puja pandal hopping, shopping and eating. This picture is of Bijaya Dashami evening, tall A’s DSLR rarely comes out nowadays, what with all of us with smart phones but it did that time and there was an hour long photo session.
.
One of the happiest days of my life. And Dad was so happy. I wish we could have stayed framed like this forever. ख़ुशियों को क्यों ऐसे नज़र लग जाती हैं कि उनकी याद भी रुला जाती हैं ।

One of Baba’s Ex SBI colleagues shared this eulo

One of Baba’s Ex SBI colleagues shared this eulogy on his FB wall on his birthday, 30th Aug. 12 days after he left us. He would have turned 67.
.
A Stephanian through and through, Dad was our thesaurus, Encyclopaedia and a mini computer combined into one. He was our Google Baba. I have never known or met anyone else who was as sharp in Maths & Physics, had a flair for numbers and was as fluent in languages too. He had an impressive vocabulary and was a bibliophile if ever there was one; the only person I know who wasn’t an English Lit Grad yet had read the full Iliad and Odyssey and the full unabridged works of Shakespeare.
.
An epistemophile and an Anglophile who taught me that the best way to become a good writer was by not being a sesquipedalian. I only inherited part of his eloquence and none of his mathematical genius and thus had to drop Maths midway in my 11th Std after having over ambitiously taken up the Biology + Mathematics stream. I wish I had inherited his knack for numbers, may be then I could have become an engineer but Dad never complained neither did he ever burden us with any expectations. Dad himself had cracked IIT though, but had chosen St Stephens college as he wanted to pursue Masters in Physics.
.
He was a genuinely good man never wishing anyone any harm. Dad could never be a fake person showing off that he was very helpful or friendly only to get popularity in return. But would go out of his way to help when someone needed it. He hated sycophants and was a man of principles for whom honesty in his work was his life’s earning. Integrity was what Pal Saheb was known for throughout his life, he never much cared for popularity.
.
It cuts like the jagged edges of a serrated knife through my heart every time I have to use ‘was’ to describe the person who taught me whatever good I have in me.
