| Dr. Sukumar Manna, General Secretary, IPS-West Bengal Branch in memory of Prof. Pratip Kumar Debnath |
Dr. Pratip Kumar Debnath – beloved ‘Pratipda’ to many of us, ‘Debnathda’ to some, is no longer with us – he preferred to shift to a better home, his heavenly abode, on the 25th April, 2015, post-noon, after a brief spell of physical discomfort.
Here was an ever-young man who, endowed with an indomitable spirit and enviable level of energy and enthusiasm, showed the courage to swim against the tide in his professional career, and remained a life-long learner in the ever-expanding field of pharmacology.
By his pleasing personality, he endeared one and all whosoever came in touch with him. A perfect ‘team-man’, he always looked the epitome of elegance and good taste. He valued the human values – the values of inclusivity, mutual respect and fondness. Undoubtedly, he remained inspirational to many of us.
Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel in his passing away. But we believe, death cannot really separate such a person from us – he will remain close to our heart for ever.
Most solemnly we, the members of Indian Pharmacological Society, West Bengal Chapter, offer our condolences.
May the Almighty bless his departed soul ! |
