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.
