Spouse : Sushma Indrajit
Children: Vibhav studying Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NITK
Surathkal, Karnataka
Hobbies: Reading, Sports, and Music (EDM all the way!)
Memories from AFMC: Loved his Alma Mater. Said U batch was family and that college was
the best time of his life. Was a very proud member of the D mess! Had fond
memories of the train journeys home and spending freezing nights playing
Frisbee at bus-stations!!
Wish I could change about
AFMC: Nothing
If I was not a doctor: Would be an engineer moonlighting as a DJ
The journey: After a happening and very wonderful academic experience at AFMC, joined
the Navy (because Naval postings are at warm places), and interned at INHS
Asvini. Was then posted on board INS Rajput at Vizag. From Vizag, moved to AFMC
for an MD in Radiodiagnosis. Got married just a month before the MD exams. And
then was posted to INHS Sanjivani, where we travelled the length and breadth of
Kerala on our faithful Kinetic Honda. Our son, Vibhav, was born, and we were
off to Vizag again, this time to INHS Kalyani. Moved to Apollo Madras on study
leave. And then a wonderful stint at INHS Asvini. AHRR was next before we came
down to Bangalore. From Bangalore, it was INHS Kalyani again…and then a last
posting to INHS Asvini.
My thoughts: I will fight it out
Inji had a zest for life that left us tired just looking at him. He
would listen to music, download and organize his vast movie collection, edit a
Radio article, call a friend for the latest gossip, watch a cricket match on
TV, and give a fatherly lecture to Vibhav…all at the same time. He inspired us
to stay connected and in touch with the times, flooding our lives with the
newest and latest of everything. We will always miss him.
Sushma,
ReplyDeleteI remember Inji walking up to me almost each time after AFMC team finished playing a cricket match. He would call me the best off-spinner in the College (How I loved that!). He would often surprise me by dissecting every minute detail of the match such as: “You uprooted that guy’s off-stump with a straighter one; your throws to the keeper were so accurate today; you should have bowled a faster one to that guy; that catch you dropped of your bowling was a costly ‘caught & bowled drop’.”
One incident which he repeatedly narrated was when self and him were going to Aamuni’s Redi and I chucked a stone towards a pole outside U block, as I often did, to practice my cricket throws… And off went my wrist watch flying into pieces after hitting the pole while the stone missed the target.
What a wonderful friend was he…
