Kumkum Chatterjee

In the summer of 1986 KumKum and Kalyan were building their first house, and construction was delayed. I had recently purchased an older home near campus, and I invited them to join me. Bits of furniture, few drapes and old carpet; it was like we were grad students again. Good friends, so warm and playful to one another. Such a sweet memory.

1st death anniversary.
You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

So surprised and sorry to learn of Kumkum's passing. While not a close friend, I always enjoyed meeting her at conferences and hearing about her work, which was similar to mine.

bye kumkumi

We miss you so much Kum Kum.

Farewell, dear friend. This is tragic news. I remember your ever-smiling face which used to light up the Presidency College portico.

My memory of Kumkum-di goes back several decades since I was a student of History Honours at the Presidency college in the late 1970s; shared same professors, who always had wonderful things to share about her. She used to be the 'Seminar Secretary' and had a very pleasing personality . Hard to believe she is no more.

My mother passed away just three months ago. This is another shock within a short period. I shall never forget her unforgettable affection.

Fondly remembering the short trip of Kumkum-di & Kalyan-da to Caen. I did not know her well when I was at Presidency - different years, different departments. But I did remember her standing at the bus stop in those immaculately pleated saris. I discovered the lovely person she was when she visited us.
My sincere condolences to Kalyan-da and to all family and friends. Rest in peace, Kumkum-di.
