Ladies and gentlemen,
We gather here today to celebrate the life of a remarkable man, our beloved colleague and dear friend, Rabindra. A man who has made a profound impact on each and every one of our lives through his kindness, wisdom, and humor. We come together to honor the memory of a loving father, a devoted husband, and an inspiring individual who taught us all what it means to live a life filled with love, laughter, and integrity.
Rabindra had a unique gift for connecting with people. His warmth and empathy created an environment where others felt comfortable opening up about their joys and sorrows alike. It was his unwavering support and helpful nature that transformed our everyday mundane interactions into long-lasting friendships. In the presence of Rabindra, we knew we were never alone and that we could always count on him to lend a listening ear, offer thoughtful advice, or crack a joke to lighten the mood.
In difficult times, we found solace in Rabindra’s wise counsel and his knack for finding humor amid challenging circumstances. He was the one who lifted our spirits when we felt overwhelmed, reminding us not to take life too seriously and to cherish each moment we were blessed enough to experience. Through the dark times, Rabindra was our guiding light, and we will forever be grateful for his unwavering support and friendship.

As a father and husband, Rabindra’s love knew no bounds. His family was his anchor, providing him with strength, purpose, and unending motivation. He was the epitome of a dedicated family man, always putting the needs of his loved ones before his own. It was his genuine, nurturing spirit that nurtured the hearts of all who knew him, teaching us the true meaning of love, commitment, and unity.
In Maroon 5’s song “Memories,” we are reminded that our memories, no matter how fleeting, have the power to shape our lives in the most profound ways. The lyrics say, “Now my heart feels like an ember, and all I want to do is to turn back time. Here’s to the ones that we got, cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not. 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories of everything we’ve been through.”
We had the privilege of sharing many precious memories with Rabindra, memories that will echo in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. In his wisdom, he has shown us how to face adversity with grace, to find humor even when afflicted by pain, and to hold love as the most sacred treasure. As we grieve this immense loss and come to terms with the harsh reality of his passing, let us find solace in these memories and remember Rabindra as the beacon of light that he was in our lives.
In the coming days, weeks, and months, we will remember Rabindra not just for the man he was but for the legacy he leaves behind. This legacy will remain ingrained in our hearts, inspiring us to be better people, more compassionate friends, and to never take life and the cherished moments for granted. As we mourn the loss of our dear friend, let us make a promise to ourselves and to Rabindra to always keep his spirit alive by carrying forth his values, his wisdom, and his unwavering compassion.
Rabindra was taken from us far too soon, leaving behind a void that will never truly be filled. But in our grief, we can find solace in knowing that his spirit lives on through each one of us who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
Rest in peace, Rabindra, knowing that your memory will be cherished, your laughter missed, your wisdom regained, and your love never forgotten.
