ReplyDeleteThank you for communicating the sad news. I am deeply saddened by the news of the loss of yet another friend and batchmate. His good humour and the broad smile that was ever present will be a lasting memory for us all.

I am sad to hear the news. He was indeed a good friend and always think of the days we, Indra, lalantha and Farouf got together to study for the finals. My deepest sympathies to the family
ReplyDeleteBala, good to see you on the Blog and let us hope for many more appearances. May be you can send a post on how it felt to be part of a Bala group consisting of Yankee, Con, Thatta and I have forgotten the other special name for No 4!
DeleteHi Bala. Welcome to the blog. How are you doing? Do keep in touch with the rest of the batch through the Blog. How time has flown since those days in the Faculty of signatures and appointments.
DeleteBala,
DeleteGood to hear from you via the blog.It seems the loss of a good man brings people together. Remember, playing carrom with you & Lalantha & Farouk. Lalantha used to measure the trajectory of the disc before unleashing his shot ,with devastating results often, much to Farouks amusement. I last met him in his place in Strathfield, Sydney, Australia over 10 years ago .
Bala, we lost another common friend in Jana Mahadeva ( Delhi) over a year ago.
A fine man.
Indra A

Didn't I tell you! There are many out there who rarely comment, but they do visit the blog. Thank you Bala.

ReplyDeleteIt is always sad to hear news of the loss of a batch colleague and my deepest commiserations go to to his family. I knew him best when he and I were both at Regent House and I recall him fondly as a sensitive and charming man. A reminder to all of us as we get ever closer to the departure lounge, to make best use of the time we have left, to forgive and forget whatever injustices that we had to endure and make Peace with the World and be content and happy.
ReplyDeleteIt is always sad when a batch-mate pass on. He was a very good friend, mate and fellow muslim. The last time my wife & I had the good fortune to enjoy his company was at the 2007 Reunion at Cinnamon Lodge. We had dinner in his & his wife Najma's company at the final day of the gathering... this memory of him will linger on.
ReplyDeleteAs ND said, "Inna-Lillahi, Wa inna-illahi-Rojoon".
I shall pray for him along with the Congregation at the Dundee Grand Jumma Mosque this Friday.
Farina will contact Najma in due course.
