If there are 5 words to describe him, I’d say ‘kind, handsome, gentle, peaceful, happy.’ These are the words I use for my Mama. But we didn’t identify him with that word. No, we had many different names for him - all of which were used with love and respect - growing up we knew him as ‘Bhai’. Some called him ‘Nuru/Nuro’ and others, ‘Doc’.
Wherever he went, whoever he came across I’m sure all have lasting memories of a wonderful man.
My name is Hemina, I am the daughter of Revu, the granddaughter of Keshavlal Hemraj Gosrani. His older brother was Kanji Hemraj, who’s eldest son was Narendra.
This man, Narendra, breathed his last breath with family members by his side today.
His absence was felt immediately. News spread quickly that he had passed away, and we received many phone calls at my Mum’s house.
I got married and moved to Kenya in 2005 where I lived with my family for 10 years. In that time, Bhai and Suriamami were my immediate family - my mamas and Masis were all in England, so this was the closest I had to relatives in Nairobi. Madumasi and Kidmama were there too. Madumasi was always a very loving and kind person that looked out for me too.
Bhai, I knew you for 40 years and I don’t remember a single day or time when you shouted at anyone, argued with anyone or were angry. And for that we have a lot to learn from you.
To Suriamami who always had strong words of wisdom for me, to Minal, Seju and Ani - our deepest condolences on the loss of a beloved husband, father and friend to many.
To Pranay, Bella, Rahil, Heeray, Nevan and Siana - your Nana was a gentle soul and I always observed how he was with you. I know his absence will be greatly felt by you all.
Take strength and courage in all the beautiful memories that have been shared by so many people around the world on how Bhai touched their lives.
I won’t forget all the times I went to your house Bhai, or brought my children to see you at TBC when we needed to order books for charities. I won’t forget how you touched my children’s lives and how they knew of you straight away when we shared the news that you had breathed your last breath today.
Dear Bhai, may your soul rest in eternal peace and may all our sincere prayers give your family comfort at this time.
Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
