The light of our life has been extinguished .....Your sad and sudden demise in New Jersey, USA on 7th March, 2016 on the auspicious day of Shivaratri, has created a void in “Basantodaya” family -- leaving all of us shocked, stunned and thrust into an ocean of grief. A noble soul, you combined a dynamic and charismatic personality with a loving and caring nature, exemplary patriotism, disciplined lifestyle and righteousness. Your devotion to your parents and siblings was non pareil. It is a little known fact that you passed up a prestigious offer to pursue higher studies in Civil Engineering in Purdue University, USA so that you could be closer to home - such was your devotion.... You were an inspiring leader and a brilliant engineer with a vision characterized by a can-do spirit, fearlessness and excellence in the field of Construction and Civil Engineering. You were instrumental in the implementation of a number of multi-million dollar construction projects for the Governments of India, Kuwait and Qatar. A prolific columnist and keen political observer and commentator, you were admired for your frank and objective perspective. You had very little tolerance for injustice and would take up cudgels on behalf of the underdog. Generosity and selflessness was your second nature. You deeply cared for education and assisted the under-privileged by providing them with financial and educational support. On the playful side , it was hard to match your card playing skills - you were so brilliant and astute in Bridge and 29. You had a rare and unique quality of being able to carry an engaging conversation and relate to people of all ages and all backgrounds. A wonderful son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather and just a great human being , we shall forever cherish the principles and ideals you stood for and will always remember and love you forever.

Lovingly, Bidyut (Wife), Anushila and Shalini (Daughters)
