For two days on the train back home, was trying to figure out who Robin was. Then it clicked that he was Nagen’s elder brother and were cousins of Chikku & Badal. Seem to remember that they were from the Rajesthan area. Remember Nagen very well. Really sad, god bless him.

Robin indeed was a true true gentleman all the way in behaviour and demeanour.
His inseparable comb regularly smoothing into place his glossy black hair and aligning the puff just right into place. I can vividly remember Robin cleaning his spectacles,holding them up-no needs another handerchief swipe and then back on the ridge.
Robin’s manner never strayed into being pushy. As a senior and prefect I remember him as the logic oriented counsellor.
Meeting him at the 150th after 45 years was one of the significant moments of the reunion.I would not have recognised him beard and all had not Vijay told me that was Robin. Brief though it was but Robin’s love for what he was doing was very evident as we talked of what we were doing now.

May God grant Robin’soul peace and Neelam and Antara the strength to bear the tragic loss.

We were shocked to hear about Robin’s sudden unexpected demise. Please convey our heartfelt condolences to His Mother, wife Neelam, daughter Antara and all his near and dear relatives and friend. Its difficult to bear the separation of the person you loved but then we all are mortals and one day we will have to leave this world for heavenly abode. We pray that God give peaceful heavenly abode to the departed sole and strength to the family to bear this irreparable loss.

As you described he has lived a good clean life and looked after his family well. This is why they will feel his absence all the more. Good people are very hard to forget and you tend to miss them at any turn of twist in life. Robin has lived such a simple and clean life which shows he was very God Loving and always living to and accepting God’s will.
With sincere heartfelt feelings

Robin being our senior; was never too close to us in school. In 70s I was at one of the booz factory’s guy’s place in Solan who was proudly showing off as to how a fully grown apple was at the broad base of the rum bottle. He refused to induldge the secret. So the Next day we were at this hamlet driving through kacha road near Rajgarh to unravel the mystery. Of course it was Robin’s brainwave. He would tie the bottle to the base of the branch. The seed would form into an apple in the bottle. I had the most delicious peaches ever. He was blissfully unaware of matderialism

What a tragedy to hear of the untimely passing away of Robin. Nagen was a good friend and it is difficult to digest that Robin too is now gone. I remember him clearly as this quiet, dignified and artisitic senior who never had a sharp word for the juniors. I am sure he is in a better place. My deepest condolences to his family.
