A tribute to my father, Pandit K.D. Dubay


Pandit K.D Dubay, my father, has gone riding off into the sunset.

A voracious appetite for western novels and western movies, an appetite for all books prompting him to read sometimes 2 and 3 books in one night.

An avid cricket fan and supporter of West Indies cricket, especially Rohan Kanhai and Gary Sobers. He was also known to have placed a bet on a horse or two.

But most of all, a humble man, a simple man, a very down to earth man firmly embedded in the grassroots movement. Someone with a raucous laughter, a strong sense of humour and not afraid to say or stand up for what he believed in.

With Pandit K.D , what you saw is what you got. An ardent admirer of all things beautiful, a singer, a musician, a composer, a poet, a pandit, a father and a husband.

When life gives you limes, you make lime juice.

My father was also a very good cook and pepper sauce maker, with his own unique style of flavours and blending. A rider of trace mules when only 14.

My father, K.D Dubay was always very good company and always very entertaing with kind words to say.

In all the time I spent with him, I don't remember a single argument I could relate easily with him and had a natural bonding with him.

The kid is gone; long live the kid.
Goodbye dad, I love you very much.

So many lives were touched by our beloved Baba. Through his teachings about life, religion and spirituality many families including ours, were inspired to achieve. His warm personality, decency, thoughtfulness and diligence to duty will remain forever in our hearts.
