Manju Sengupta
born on November 26, 1942 and
passed away on January 06, 2022.
Our precious mother/grandmother, Manju Sengupta, passed away on Thursday, January 6th at 11.34 am, in Max Hospital, IP extension, New Delhi.
She is predeceased by her father the late Jagadish Chandra Choudhury, mother Lavanya Prabha and her husband the late Mihir Kanti Sen.
She is survived by her daughters , Rinku Sengupta(UK) and Tinku Sengupta(India) and grandchildren Anushka, Tania (India) and Aatish (UK). She has a large circle of family ( including 2 brothers and 1 sister) and friends in Kolkata.
She devoted her life to her children and family, after her marriage. She graduated with honours in Botany and Zoology from Scottish Church College Calcutta. A dedicated maths and science teacher, a keen needleworker , a talented cook , and with an uncanny aptitude for art and crafts: she had several unique qualities that will be fondly remembered by her dear ones, for life. She will remain the best friend we ever had.
She was always there for her children and grandchildren to encourage , support, assist , advice and nurture. She had a wicked sense of humour, a twinkle in her eyes and a knack to befriend all.
She volunteered in her spare time for the Missionaries of Charity and Hope Foundation Charity, Kolkata.
Manju never wanted to be the center of attention, so her services will be private for immediate family members only, on 16th January at her daughters home ,at IP extension, New Delhi, at 11.30 am.
Friends and family wishing to honor Manju are invited to make a donation in her name to their local Ramkrishna Mission or the Missionaries of Charity , Kolkata.
"When you speak of her, speak not with tears, for thoughts of her should not be sad. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for her life was rich because of you."

আবার আসিব ফিরে,
ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।
হয়তো মানুষ নয়, হয়তো শঙ্খচিল
শালিখের বেশে,
আবার আসিবো ফিরে,
ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।হয়তো ভোরের কাক হয়ে,
এই কার্তিকের নবান্নের দেশে
কুয়াশার বুকে ভেসে একদিন আসিব
আসিবো এ কাঁঠাল ছায়ায়।
আবার আসিব ফিরে,
ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।
হয়তো বা হাঁস হবো,
কিশোরীর ঘুঙুর রহিবে লাল পায়,
সারাদিন কেটে যাবে কলমীর গন্ধভরা
জলে ভেসে ভেসে।
আবার আসিব আমি ফিরে,
বাংলার ক্ষেত মাঠ নদী ভালোবেসে।
জলাঙ্গীর ঢেউয়ে ভেজা বাংলার এই
এ সবুজ করুণ ডাঙ্গায়।
আবার আসিব ফিরে,
ধানসিড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।
হয়তো দেখিবে চেয়ে
সুদর্শন উড়িতেছে সন্ধ্যার বাতাসে,
হয়তো শুনিবে
এক লক্ষ্মীপেঁচা ডাকিতেছে শিমূলের ডালে,
হয়তো খইয়ের ধান ছড়াতেছে শিশু এক
উঠানের ঘাসে, ঘাসে,
রূপসার ঘোলা জলে হয়তো কিশোর এক
সাদা ছেঁড়া পালে ডিঙ্গা বায়।
রাঙ্গা মেঘ সাঁতরায়ে অন্ধকারে,
দেখিবে ধবল বক আসিতেছে নীড়ে।
আমারেই পাবে ইহাদের ভীড়ে
এ সবুজ করুণ ডাঙায়।
আবার আসিব ফিরে,
ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।
হয়তো মানুষ নয়, হয়তো শঙ্খচিল
শালিখের বেশে,
আবার আসিব ফিরে,
ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে এই বাংলায়।"
May her soul rest in peace.

Iron Lady, Quiet confidence, petit, caring, my grandmother Didi’s very own younger sister Manju Mashi (as I addressed her the same way my mom Khuku addressed her) : both of them used to call me Muni and love me very much from the bottom of their hearts Her SN Banerjee Road home, my moms childhood place, spending time with Manju Mashi Mesho and get showered by her kindness, listening to my Moms childhood stories from Manju Mashi, listening to Bruce Springsteen LP of Babli Mashi and Mini Mashi (her beloved super smart daughters), Anadi cabin mughlai paratha et al And then Didi’s abrupt passing away and Manju Mashi coming often to my maternal place and spending time with us & genuinely caring for lost souls meant a lot I express my deepest respect and I pray she blesses us all to carry on with our lives with purpose and humanity I have not met her for years and I am sorry I could not say to her how much I miss her, Didi & and her loveable echoes of affection So long Manju Mashi : the velvet gloved iron fisted lady who made a positive difference to our lives I wish and pray Babli Mashi Mini Mashi and their families get blessed by her blessings and inspired by her life.

I wish to live on earth without losing anyone dear to me. Lost Manju pishi (my father's cousin sis). She has always been my specially loved aunt and we shared hours of fun and laughter. She was a person with a strong and confident mindset and was capable of taking decisive action. Manju pishi preferred living on her own and never wanted to bother others. Wishing both my elder sisters Mini di and Babli di(her daughters) comfort, courage, and lots of love. Remembering the life of a person who touched so many lives. You'll be with me forever. I pray you are at peace. Pronam Manju pishi.
