4 | (Video Link) Tribute/eulogy by Reethah Desai
My grandparents made every effort to educate him, and all their children. From a poor child in the then small, backwater town of Tanga, in East Africa, in an insignificant colony of the British Empire, then called Tanganyika, he grew to become a man of the world. Papa became a doctor and an expert. He lived, travelled and worked internationally. He wanted to master - and be his own master in - our post-colonial world, equal, powerful and free. In this way, Papa, as the eldest son, carried the torch. He was enabled by his parents to carry their torch - and he raised the bar for the Desai family. He set the standard for excellence - we all know how vocal he was whenever he thought people were not good enough! He led the Desai family's transformation into a new way of life, into a new level of society, into a new place - indeed places - in the world. It takes someone with big ambitions and strong qualities to do that. That was his contribution. As a result, our Desai family has become international, professional and wealthy. Equal, powerful and free. With choices.

5 | Eulogy delivered by Dipti. Jai Shree Krishna. My father, Harshkant Ravishankar Bhatt, was a tower of strength, and affectionately known to so many as "Bhai". Although Bhai means brother, it has been our term of endearment for him, and our friends have adopted it too. He has gained many extra sons and daughters this way and if he knew how much affection people had for him Bhai would have been overwhelmed What we loved about him so much, and will miss profoundly was his love for his family. Since his passing we have been reminiscing with our cousins around the world. It is evident how incredibly proud he was to be a Bhatt. In India he was known as Babaji and as the youngest of six children, he was considered fondly by his own siblings as the naughty child. Making jokes and being cheeky is what kept his family on their toes. Throughout his life, with everyone, including strangers on the street, he always tried to make people laugh. Indeed until the end, the glint in his eye was still there when I had the absolute privilege to share his last jokes, and I laughed hard even though they were aimed at me. With us, he showed his love in so many ways; ringing each of us every day to see if we were okay, giving the grandchildren a £1 coin instead of sweets each time they visited calling it a 'visiting fee'. Although he was a steadfast promoter of education, he also saw the value of spending time with each other. One morning when we were still at school, he decided that Neera and I should have an impromptu day off and accompany him to London, where we spent the whole day sightseeing and shopping. Bhai was a man before his time. He believed that we should all have an education and gave us the freedom to be independent in our thinking, how we lived our lives and in spirit. Bhai showed us all these things by his example, especially that men and women are equals and sharing responsibility for house and work is important. He did more than his share and relished in providing us with experiences and small joys that made us feel wanted and looked after. He did this with all he encountered and was generous to a fault. We all know don't we what amazing tea he made, how he loved his food especially eating hot dal from the stove, anything sweet particularly gor papdi and jalebis and ladoos and penda...the list goes on! Later in life, it was his only joy because sweet was all he could taste when he was ill, and we will honour this later. Bhai was a highly intelligent man with an extensive knowledge that was so impressive. He recited Shakespeare and Persian poetry regularly and worked out complex arithmetic problems in his head...we often tested him on complex multiplication and square or cube roots, which he calculated out loud In Gujarati. I remember always watching this human calculator, in awe. Bhai lives on in all of us...the way we cross our legs and hold our feet, our love of tea, our fierce independence, our short tempers and how we make peace quickly and of course our love of food. Not to mention the amazing grandchildren who continue his legacy of learning through all their endeavours. Although this jolly, funny, quirky man was affected by a horrid disease, the essence of Bhai always remained. BUT he will never be defined by a lack of memory or his deteriorating health. He will be defined by how he touched others' hearts and minds, always smiling, always BHAI. I'm so proud to be your daughter. Amaan's sarra Baap! X | Bhatt, Harshkant (I631)

6 | EULOGY delivered by Mahesh, Dinesh & Kamlesh Upadhyaya on behalf of all siblings At the tender age of 13, Baa joined the Upadhyaya family, by marriage to our father, Mansukhbhai. Very soon after marriage, she became Baa to our uncle and 3 aunts. A new life was starting for the family in Aden, Yemen and Baa got busy taking care of our father, our grand father and my grand uncles. Baa worked tirelessly, to care for this large family, raise our uncle & aunts and in due course, us, six siblings. In 1962, Baa took the bold step to come to the UK, with my siblings, to join me, in a virtually unknown town in Yorkshire, called Keighley. Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge. So it was befitting our Saraswati Baa that she took up the mantle of educating us, and caring for us, siblings. And it was not just us. If we met someone from the old country, in the street, they got invited to the house for a meal. Such acquaintances soon became friends and friends became Baa's sons & daughters and we siblings acquired another brother or sister. And the extended family grew. our parents later moved to London, again for the education of the siblings. When our father started work with the Human Service Trust, I am sure it was Baa?s unflinching and dedicated support which was partly responsible for its success here in UK. Even its founder, swami Krishnanad Sarswati called our Baa, Baa. Life soon became busy for Baa, with arrival of grandchildren and then great grandchildren. and for many of them, our loving Baa was known as Hari Aum Baa We have lost the matriarch of our family and Baa will be sorely missed, by us all. Baa, from your very very extended family Hari Aum | Pandya, Saraswati Dulerai (I608)
