From Bijay's father passes away

I knew him as Bijay's father- the later being very close to myself and my family for more than 15 years here at Rourkela. Though we both belong to Jagatsinghpur, Bijay was introduced through Sura Bhai with whom he stayed while studying in the local Government ITI and was very much known but became very close when he started living with his family in our house M-11, Chhend. I have met his father Bipin Bihari Parida only on a couple of occasions and had a chance to interact for quite a long time only twice -that too recently about 3-4 months back when he was also living with Bijay's family for treatment of no specific but mostly age-related sickness and bronchial asthma.He had a very simple life and had lived it well. Might be it was his culture, might be he had gained the experience, but he depended always on God. When he became sick at Alavara, he was shifted to Cuttack for treatment. Bijay and his family and Sanjay from Lathikata visied him at Cuttack. He improved and returned back home to Alavara. But probably this year's June heat and humidity was too much for his health and his condition worsened. He was shifted to Rourkela on 21st June and reached Bijay's place at 2 AM that night vis Lathikata. He met everyone of Sanjay's family there and took rest at Bijay's place. On 22nd morning had tea and passed away around 8 AM after taking some snacks in the lap of his son-in-law and son- probably due to heart attack. He has honoured us all at Rourkela by his last visit.
May his soul rest in peace.
