Makhan Prasad Baruah: A Tribute

Major (Retd) Makhan Prasad Baruah, sone of Late Mohi Chandra Baruah and Late Gha Kanti Baruah of Santipur in Golaghat, passed away on August 24, 2016 at Pune Army Hospital following a massive cardiac arrest. Being in the Defence service, he had to move from one place to another, but filly he settled at Deolati near sik after retirement. He, however, used to come to Guwahati at times and stay for some time. He was an honest and sincere army officer who, by dint of his amiable disposition, could charm people of all ages. He used to get pleasure by extending help to all and cooperation to different social activities. He was a very kind hearted person. Though, according to matrimonial alliance, he happened to be my Barja (husband’s elder brother) he always treated me as his Bhanti (younger sister). I, too, had the pleasure to let him know the minutest details. I could not even imagine that ‘Dada’ would leave us so early.

Prior to his death, he doted his body to the hospital. This shows his greateness as a human being who was so much concerned about the welfare of all. His absence is very much felt by us. His wishing ‘good morning’ sent through ‘Happy Home’ (whats app) always brought to us a beautiful and lively morning. But there was a sudden stop to all. Yet we have to do our duties, because reality is a truth.

May his departed soul rest in eterl peace.
