AFG 2613 Gurvinder Singh Roop



Name: Gurvinder Singh Roop

AFG : 2613

Roop- That name suddenly brought a flood of very pleasant memories , as clear and fresh as sunshine after a rainy day. I remember the day when this vibrant and vivacious sardrarji called Roop came to the anatomy dept looking for freshers interested in Bhangra /gidda.  He was preparing a bhangra team for the upcoming basket ball week. As luck would have it our batch had a lot of punjabis. His excitement was palpable. We all had a very enjoyable two weeks of learning under him and then topped it up with a grand Bhangra show at the end of the BB week. It was a treat watching Roop do the bhangra.
Another beautiful memory I have of him is when he would always come and ask me for a dance on a famous punjabi number Sung by jagjit Singh....it has a lovely beat to it called 'sare Pind wich  puaare paye.'
Just felt like sharing it with everyone. He was a great guy!
I shared this with Ravjit and he too went down the memory lane recounting the various events with Roop on and off the hockey field. He was the team goal keeper. No opposing team likes to see a fiery Sardar protecting the goal mouth!!
Energy , enthusiasm, courage and a zest for life are a few words that describe our departed friend Roop...
