With deep sorrow we announce the death of our alumnus Amit Bajpai (Civil 1984) on November 24th. He died of cardiac arrest. May his soul rest in peace.
We have received the following message from his classmate, Shakeel Ahmad (Civil 1984):
I am forced to share this sad news with you. Amit Bajpai, the jolliest person of my class died of cardiac arrest yesterday, in Mumbai. He had just returned home after playing cricket when he collapsed never to recover again. This news was conveyed to me by another class-mate, Krishnan Hariharan. Please pray for peace to his soul. May it be easy for his family
and friends to bear this loss!

- I was in constant touch with Amit after passing out from the institute until his untimely demise. I had attended his marriage along with Devaki Nandan Gupta on January 26, 1987 in Allahabad. I used to visit him regularly till he was posted in Bangalore. He would visit me when he had some official work in Delhi. We would roam around without any specific purpose to recall Godowlia, Lanka days. Last time, I talked to him was sometime before Diwali exchanging words for not calling in between. “Amit! The paradox is, you came to meet me twice when I was bedridden, whereas I couldn’t even know you were hiding something more fatal within you. Your smile camouflaged the facts. I will keep praying to God to give strength to your parents, wife and kids to overcome this loss.” K.Hariharan (Civil 1984), New Delhi. Email: khariharan44@yahoo.co.in ____________________
- Sudhir Rampal phoned me up to give the most shocking news of the untimely demise of our dear Amit. He was one of the most jovial, hassles free and easy to go along with classmates. He would raise the spirits of the class on many an occasion. His smiling face would always be etched in my mind. It`s tragic but a well known fact-Good souls are called back early by the Almighty. May Amit`s soul rest in peace. May God give courage to the family to cope with the tragedy. We are all here united in grief. Ramesh Kumar Jha (Civil 1984) ramesh_jha5@rediffmail.com
