This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Tapan Kumar Sarkar, my Jethu.
Most people know him as a brilliant mind with a great sense of humour, a very loyal and generous friend or a supportive mentor. I knew him as all of the above but also someone who loved pets, wildlife and gardening. Someone who loved unconditionally, wholeheartedly, made faces whenever I pointed the camera at him. Someone who loved history, shopping and travel with the same passion that he loved his work .Someone who loved watching movies. Last but not least, a cut throat board game player and a fellow Murder mystery lover (Poirot over Miss Marple).
The background music is a Bengali song sung by one of his favourite Bengali singers, Hemanta Kumar Mookherjee. The song is about the life and work of the long distance running messengers called "Runner" that were used during colonial India to deliver both verbal and written messages. The song is about one such nameless Runner, his life, work and family. He always had this playing in a loop in his car during long distance trips, and the CD player in his house.
