It should not be true: In Memory of Anil J.B.

It was an unbearably sad morning; many of us walking into the campus had no idea what awaited us. And for many others, who knew since last evening itself, it was a morning they didn't want to unfold. As we waited at the main entrance, we still secretly hoped that he'd jump of what was just another bed and not the final one, and say, "bhai aap sab yahan kyon khade hain?" Instead, it was a confirmation. An undeniable confirmation that Assistant Professor Mr. Anil J.B. is no more, that we won't see him again, that never again will he fill our lives with the joy and wit that came so natural to him. He, along with two other persons, didn't survive a road accident when their motorbike was hit by a Bolero on Sikar Road, National Highway 11, very close to the campus he loved so intimately.


His tragic departure leaves M.B.M. Engineering College, Jodhpur and MNIT, Jaipur in mourning from where he had graduated into a fine teacher and human being. In his address, Prof. SS Sarkar, Dean-FET, described him as 'a hardworking and brilliant' faculty'. Students, among whom he was immensely popular, are holding condolence offering from 1.30 p.m. in the quadrangle opposite library. The students' notice remembers him as 'our mentor and guide'.


Born on Oct. 10, 1972, he belonged to Jodhpur and came to join MITS in December, 2004. He is survived by his wife, a kid and parents.

We pray for the salvation of his departed soul and may God give his family the strength to survive this inconsolable grief and shock. Amen!

It can be certainly said that it is one loss that we can never make up for...the loss of our beloved and very respected Anil J.B sir..but now that we cannot help but accept this harsh reality that destiny has inflicted upon us,instead of expressing the agony of our bereaved hearts,we the students of mody,would rather like to salute our great teacher who was an epitome of inspiration and love...His memories are indelible and will be cherished forever and he will always dwell in our hearts..May the almighty bless his soul and may he rest in peace...
