You live on in our memories and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet you.
When I was young, many years ago, a sweet gentleman would come.
With a white bushy beard, and a twinkling smile, bringing joy to life so humdrum.
He came bearing gifts, of much joy and enjoyment, and of course some good chocolates too.
His presence would bring, the promise of fun and much laughter, as he spent happy days with you.
He was a gentle soul, who dressed in brown corduroy pants, always a smile on his face.
I never remember, a cross or angry word, he was always charming and so full off grace.
He was my grandmother’s brother, he lived far away, in the fair British queens beautiful land.
He visited us once a year, a happy jolly gentleman, and we always had a time so grand.
My dearest Indrajit ajoba, I will sincerely miss you, your sweet smile and that twinkle in your eye.
You will always be in our memories, always happy and smiling, even though we must say goodbye.
Thank you. I can’t be there on the day but will be thinking of you all and good memories of PMH and will join you later with love and sympathy Julia xx
May he Rest In Peace.The eternal light shine bright and forever!!?om shanti?
Condolences:
When the sunset of sorrow befalls on you, look by your side,
an Angel of God will always be with

“OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI”
Indrajit Ajoba will be greatly missed but his Warmth, Kindness, and Jolly spirit will be remembered forever.
May his soul rest in peace.
A gentle soul, a kind-hearted man, a good friend and my dear darling brother,
He filled our lives with laughter, love and much affection.
He was fifteen years older, more mature and grown up, but that did not change a thing,
He was so full of joy, with a twinkle in his eye, his great humour always laughter would bring
Although he lived far away, the connection was never lost, he would always call and come visit me,
Those delightful visits were filled with good food and joy, life became as good as it could be.
He always called to ask me what he should get me, and he would get it no matter what it was,
Usually some makeup, once an eyelash curler, he kept wondering what that strange thing was.
I will miss you dear dada, your sweet smile and laughter, and your joie de vivre, without it life will be a strife.
I will never forget Baba’s husky chuckle. His laugh was so distinctive and he laughed often. He was such a gentle soul and you could see how much he cared from the way he would ask me how I was. I always felt love from him, and I will never forget that.
Although not a blood relative, he was every bit of what family means to me.
Kaka, was one of the most affectionate, lovable and a very gentle soul. Will deeply miss his presence, the twinkle in his eyes and that infectious smile of his which made all of us so happy whenever he was around us. May God give him eternal peace.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
I have known Bhaisaheb ( Dr. Phalke ) from the time he got married to Shubhra and the connection was stronger as he and my father were both radiologists and knew each other. Bhaisaheb was a very gentle, affectionate and kind person. I was always welcome and felt like family everytime I visited Shrivenham. We will miss you and thank for leaving behind a legacy of warm welcome.
Ajoba , my granpa’s younger brother was my absolute favorite. He loved to laugh and I adored him. The cheerfulness in him and his sense of humor was his unique identity. Everytime I met him, he had an interesting story to tell. In our last meeting, he expressed his fondness for football and also mentioned that he briefly served as a team doctor for Swindon town football club. He was so jovial, and you could tell he loved life.
We pray for him to be at peace.???
There was a kindness in his demeanor,
A gentleness in his ways,
For the few moments that we knew him
He brightened up our days!
We will greatly miss Phuphaji’s kind presence and extend Phuphiji, Rohini, Sridhar and family our deepest sympathies.
One of the pleasant memories I have of my childhood visits to Gwalior is going to Indrajit mama’s room, where he used to be busy studying. At that time I never realized that I could be disturbing him. He always gave time and was very kind and gave me nice juicy golden raisins.
Later he went off far and became a doctor but visited us once a year. With his presence came kindness, fun, and laughter. He will be in our memories forever.
Way back in 1973 a
Hesitant and nervous
Rebellious and scared
Angry and insecure
Pre teen
Met a gentleman
With twinkling eyes
With a soft yet firm voice
With a lovely welcoming smile
As she walked into her new temporary abode
Far away from her dad
Into his family home
And all of a sudden the self doubts disappeared.
For in him she saw a reflection of her father
Affectionate and encouraging
It remained so all these years
The pre teen has now turned 60
She has a family of her own
Who share her respect and esteem for the gentleman
She calls Mausaji –
The memories of the warmth and of the love received
When she was most vulnerable still gently cloaks her.
The same affection extended to her husband and children
Warms them
In years that followed as her family grew
“Never Mind “their lapses , the love received was unchanged
The cheerfulness, the sense of humor, the generosity of affection
All remained the same
Thank you mausaji for being a huge part of our lives – for loving us as family
We will miss your annual visits
But we shall meet again ……. in another world …. in time and take up where we left off
Till then all our regards and love ……
Mama was a genuine gem of a person. Very inspirational. Kind, gentle and humble.
We will miss you Indrajit Ajoba. Your gentle soul, kind heart and beautiful smile will never be forgotten.
Mama’s sudden demise has left a void in our lives. We all used to look forward to his yearly visits to Pune when we would share his spontaneous humour and jokes over a good drink. An evening with Grewals was a must to delve into the “Balle Balle Culture” of North India and dive into the good old days of yore.
Heaven’s too need cheering up and Mama has a job ahead. God has his own ways.
A few nostalgic lines come to my mind. ” There is an ole belief, that on some solemn shore. Beyond the sphere of grief, We shall certainly meet once more.
Adios Mama / Ajoba
It was a pleasure to meet you, to spend time with you and I remember the Portugal holiday in 2019 with much fondness. You had a presence, a kind welcoming soul, a warm heart. I was also left in no doubt that you were still the king of the pool table!
Sending my thoughts and condolences at this difficult time.
May Dear Mama’s soul rest in peace.
We are grieved beyond words to learn about the demise of our dear Indrajit.
We were privileged to meet such a gentler and kinder soul with a radiant smile.
May your soul rest in peace, and to Uma Ji – May Almighty bestow enough courage to sustain this irreparable loss.
OM SHANTI OM
Ingrajit your time is come to journey into the unknown. Rest in peace.
Your kind smile and friendly manner will always be remembered.

Dear Uma
My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Wish the courage during this sad time.

We will miss Mausaji and his gentle presence . All of us enjoyed his warmth ,love and calming presence.. His trips to our home and the time spent will always remain in our memory. Deepest condolences to Mausi Rohini Sridhar & Anika
Indrajit Dada was a kind and gentle soul, with a wicked sense of humour.
I have known him for over 65 years and used to watch his exploits as a tremendous sprinter at the local Collegiate Track meet, when I was almost 10 years old, where he invariably won the Gold medal for the 100 yd dash.
Even though we lost touch from time to time, he had the knack of making me feel comfortable around him, whenever we met.
After he married one of my favourite aunts, our relationship never changed but grew stronger, in fact.
It was wonderful to spend some quality time with Dada, in August 2019, in Albufiera. I shall cherish each and every moment of out time together over the years, and the memories will stay with me forever.
I shall miss you Dada and may your soul rest in Peace.
We will miss you Dada, and always cherish the rare moments we spent together.
May you rest in peace.
with Love,
Maria
Indrajit was a very dear friend and a thorough gentleman. He will be missed by one and all. Our Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved. Family. Madhu & Kumu
We remember the warmth of Mausaji’s presence, the twinkle in his eye, the gentleness of his laughter and what a wonderful human being he was. We shall miss you Mausaji.
Growing up, we always looked forward to a visit from Babaji and Piku Ma – I remember Babaji’s sense of humour, his stories, and his laugh. We’re so glad that he was able to join us in 2017 in Tijara. Our condolences and love to Piku Ma, Rohini Bua, and Sridhar Fufaji.
Our prayers are with you for dadas peaceful journey And For all the family for strength and courage to bear the loss of such a kind and wonderful person. We were all blessed to have him in our lives. Love and respects
Our condolences, love and thoughts with you. The service was a really lovely tribute to someone so obviously much loved by so many.
How we will miss your cheerful presence, bringing a smile to our faces. I always enjoyed listening to those stories from your youth, from your childhood in Gwalior to Chicago in the sixties. You inspired many to return to their roots, including my own father. Your jovial and exuberant spirit will remain within us.
My deepest condolence to the bereaved family. I have been a friend of the family for over 35 years and have so much memories, with the Asian Centre I will miss my friend Indra jeet, such a wonderful man and such a goo sense of humour.

He was a wonderful, soft spoken and effervescent gentleman who defined that very elusive term(gentleman) for me through the years. I wish you his family strength and courage and pray for Dadaji’s peace of spirit and longevity on earthly realm, in our collective memories.
HE WILL REST IN PEACE.
I saw both Rohini Bua and Dadi’s dedication towards him through the years and always marveled at their care and concern. I know it’s painful to bid him adieu but I feel he lived his life with utmost dignity, spurred on by your love and cocoon.
Do share my condolences and prayers with Shridhar Kaka and family.
I first met Indrajit Phoophaji during his wedding to my Uma Bua in Lucknow in the late 1960s. I was a child then and fondly recall when, as a teenager, I had visited Gwalior and stayed at his Bara at Phalke Bazaar. ROHINI was possibly 21/2 years of age and Sreedhar had begun to talk.
BUA and Phoophaji, all will agree, made such a beautiful pair inside out and their lovely bond sustained itself for all these years together.
He was just a thorough gentleman. His visits to Lucknow were a source of such delight to my own family.
My uncle, late Thakur Yashwant Singh, was Phoophaji’s class fellow in Scindia School so the relationship with him was from both the maternal and paternal side. He was a miracle of a man.
I sincerely pray that God Almighty rests his soul in peace for ever.
He was such a joyful presence for anyone and everyone. Modern men need to take a leaf out of his life script to know exactly what a gentleman is.
He was a treasure on Earth and is sure to spread his smiles and unaffected gestures in heavenly realm.
His soul soars high, blessing us with his omnipresence.
Indrajit was one of the kindest and humorous friend , May he rest in peace.
Sending our love to all the family.
Indrajit was a lovely, kind, funny, and wonderful man. It was a privelege knowing him, and spending happy times with him.
Love to all the family.
From adrian, livia, and all the Bedford Sinha’s
Dear Indrajit
It was a privilege to have known you for so many years. Your legacy will live on.
The world has lost a gentle soul, while the women would get busy chatting Indrajit Mama would make It his business to be with us children. Make us laugh and entertain us As we grew older he then turned his attention to my sons. Showering each of us with his love. Love to Mau, Rohini and Shridhar in these difficult times.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers for the family .
We will always remember Indrajit as a jovial person. Friendly and so humorous with a twinkle in his eye.
May he rest in peace.
