An era comes to an end

Been off for more than a month lot of things have happened during this period. The biggest of them is our beloved father has departed for his heavenly abode on Dec2nd at 0300hrs (IST) . It was coming to an end of a era which started in 1927 when my father was born. The turbulent childhood shaped his character hard on the outside and soft inside a man with compassion for the deprived a fighter and a winner with never go ability only this time he lost to the will of almighty god.

Having lost his father at a tender age of 14 years he single handedly built an empire in brick making and was crowned as the brick king of india. At a time when other children are in fantasy world of aolscent dreams he was struggling with life and how to see the family through.

for his time he was a visionary and saw education as a tool to enpower and uplift the deprived section of the society and created a number of educational instituions single handedly. In his last active years of life he decided he should work for providing shelters for orphans and last institue he created was an orphanage and a wish which remained unfullfiled was an orphanage for girls.

Though himself only formally educated till class nine he was firm believer in continuing knowledge upgradation with self help books and reading othe mamagement writers I tahnk hem for giving me the quality of reading which i have tried to pass on to his grand children

He had great expecatattions from all his grand children and speciaaly AAkanksha whose work he used as demonstrative work.

My mother had great love and affecation for him but somehow she departed much earlier and probably that left him a broken man from inside though he never acknowledged it nor showed it but his problems of illness started immediately after that.

It seems that was the reason he came and told aakaknsha in her dreams that your ma is calling him and he has to go as she will adar him (bengali word for love) and his telling this aakaknsha also is an indication of the deep love and affecation he had for her.

His was a character one can keep on writing about Any abody and every body who has come in touch with him has been moved in some way. but in the end i say let almighty god give us strength vision and direction to try to complete his unfinished tasks.
