Ajit Thakurdas

June 13, 1940 - September 8, 2022

He made people laugh, he comforted them, he pranked them, he gave them his broad shoulders to lean on. He stood out - not just because of his towering personality, but also because of his large-heart in which thousands lived. He was a beloved husband, father, nana, mamu, jija-ji - filling these roles with his love, his friendly boxing punches, his chuckles, his mimicry, his mentoring and sharing his vast knowledge on so many things: from cricket to world history to western movies.

    I met him through his daughter Rachna and instantly knew where she got her sharp humour from. There was never a dull moment with him.... The endless stories of Kolkata, the street food, Park street and the legendary Chhabi Biswas whom Uncle knew personally. In between all these there were some intelligent and witty remarks.... Which made me realise that there was a man of knowledge amidst us! Of all these, what I loved was the warmth I received from him. I will miss the messages from Rachna asking me to drop in as Uncle was looking for me. Or miss making the fish curry with mustard sauce that he loved. I am also poorer today in the loss of the man with pure selfless affection. Your memories will be with us Uncle.

    मेरी क़ब्र पर खड़ी होकर रोना नहीं, मैं वहाँ रहता नहीं; मैं वहाँ सोता नहीं। मैं तो हजारो हवाओं-सा उड़ता हूँ, बरफ में हीरे-सा चमकता हूँ; गेहूँ में सूरज बन दमकता हूँ। मैं पतझड़ की धीमी-सी बारिश हूँ, खामोश सवेरों में, जब तुम सो कर उठती हो; मैं परिंदों की उडानों के दाइरों में हूँ। मैं रातों में कोमल-सा चमकता तारा हूँ, मेरी क़ब्र पर आना तो रोना नहीं; मैं वहाँ हूँ नहीं; मैं मरा नहीं। (This is A poem by Elizabeth Fry, 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' that touched my heart. Have attempted a translation in Hindi for my Uncle Ajit, Auntie Linnie and their three beautiful girls)
