You were such a beautiful soul.Gone too soon!!
Gem of a person ❤️

Rip Naba

Naba,
I can't believe you are gone. 
Your 100-watt smile keeps flashing before my eyes and I cannot believe that I will never see you again. Your zest for pretty much anything you undertook was infectious and you left anyone that came in contact with you feeling loved and celebrated. 
I have so many fond memories from our friendship that began in junior college in Mumbai to our most recent meeting when you visited last year. I wished I'd hugged you a little tighter and a little longer because it breaks my heart knowing that I will never be in the warmth of your company again. Your time with us here was short but I pray for your soul to make its ultimate journey back home. Love you and will miss you forever.   

Naba - 
I don't think anyone can wrap their head around having lost you. Just looking back at the good times we spent together in grad school is leaving me at a loss of words. You were such a firecracker of a person, always opinionated, honest and lively! While most of us were trying to figure ourselves and our likes and dislikes, you seemed to know yourself so well - you had so many interests and hobbies and we learnt so much from you - whether it was baking, cooking elaborate recipes or to be honest just enjoying what you made for all of us! I echo Shilpa's sentiment, seeing you drive the uHaul and back into our driveway with all our stuff in it was such a hero moment for all of us who would be struggling to park a Honda civic properly at that time! You were confident, self assured, equally mad and fun and truly a girl's girl! I hope you're in a happier place with Boomer around you :)  

We lost all words to express our feelings on missing you so tragically  ........  
Our only consolation would be to cherish the  your ever lasting smiling face  .........  
  .......  continue to dazzle in our memory .......

 .......  Aparna masi and Meso   ........

Angels do visit us once in a while. Alas, God cannot do without them for too long.

My deepest condolences for Tapan, Shipra and family. 

I taught Nabaruna for a brief period during her school days . She was hardworking , determined ,highly intelligent . She spoke to me few years back and I was so proud of her achievements in her professional front . 

Heartfelt condolences to Monita and her parents . Prayers  to the almighty to give you all the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss . A life gone too soon . 

Extremely sad and devastated to know about the death of this beautiful girl, which came unnoticed and so abruptly. There is nothing I can say to console her parents whom I knew personally.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
- Subrata Gupta & family

Bonny di! 

Even though I had the opportunity to meet you only once in 2021 at Monita di's place, you left an incredible impression on me. The food you cooked and the top notch arrangements that you made all single-handedly was laudable. I still remember the tips and tricks you shared about cooking with me and I occasionally use them. Your radiant smile could lift and cheer up anyone around you.  I wish I could spend more time with you but I feel extremely lucky that our paths crossed and I shall cherish those memories forever. Rest in peace and our prayers are always with you. 💕

From,
Sinjini and Abhishek.

Bonny you will always stay in our hearts, we will miss you. I just can't imagine that you are no more. Amongst all the daughters in our family, you were always daring, adventurous, and ready to take up any risk. You always had photogenic face, a smiling face. I used to joke around with you, regarding your age. I used to tell you that your age &mines is the same. That's my Marriage years and her age were the same. We r all shattered. I pray to God that where ever you are, may u rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹

Naba... I still can’t believe I am writing this. Every day I wake up thinking this is all a very bad dream and someone is going to jolt me out of it. You were one of the most wonderful people I have known in my life. I keep hearing your infectious laugh in my head everyday because I never want to forget it. With your bright colored clothes and your outgoing personality, you stood out in every gathering you were part of. With your bright smile on ‘always on’ mode, you were easily the most beautiful person in any room. Your love for your friends and family was unbounded. I remember when you put in several hours of effort into baking and cooking the most delicious food to welcome my then boyfriend (now husband) to our home in Raleigh for the first time. I didn’t even do that! Although you never met my son that you so deeply loved, I will forever have the blanket you knit for him, and every time I miss you, I will wrap myself in that tightly to feel better. I don’t remember a single time when I spoke to you where you weren’t planning a birthday party or a baby shower for one of your family or friends’ kids. You never ran out of love to shower on your friends and family with. 

I was always in awe of what an amazingly independent and bright young woman you were. There wasn’t a thing you didn’t do well. Back when I was still learning to drive and parking a car in between two spots, I remember my jaw dropping when I saw you back in a giant U-haul moving truck into our drive way so effortlessly! I got asked for my ‘hairstylist’s’ contact by so many, even random people, after that amazing haircut you gave me in college. From being my stand-in make up artist to a last minute emcee, you saved the day at my wedding! To my gorgeous friend who was everything from a CR7 fan-girl to a Harry Potter fanatic to a dog and baby lover to an emerald green obsessor and so much more -  I will miss you dearly. I’m glad your best friend Boomer is with you in your onward journey. 

I still remember the time when you got furious over me criticizing Brett Lee, something which you overheard while I was talking to my friends outside the ice cream shop opposite Cambridge.  Which then turned into a whole argument thankfully ending with a great and healthy discussion about Harry Potter. 

Our conversations were few and time flew fast. You will always be remembered Nabaruna.

My deepest condolences to family and friends. 

Bony,
It’s still not sinking in… I’ll remember you for your warm personality, infectious smile and your kindness. It’s an irreplaceable loss for all of us. You’re gone too soon.

It is still unbelievable that Bony is not with us. 
We lost a brilliant individual, a girl full of life. We will always cherish her infectious smile and vibrant nature. 

My heart go out to Shipra and Tapan da. May almighty comfort you and give strength in this difficult time. 

No words of condolences for this profound grief. We still find it hard to believe. Peace be with the departed soul and may God give strength to the bereaved parents & their family  to bear this irreparable loss.


Bony ( NABARUNA) you will remain always amongst us  in our Dey family. We knowYOU  since your childhood days how human you were, how jolly and lovely you always were, We feel deep sad and sorrow for you not around us now. Your helping nature used to make others feel happy. There are endless words I like to narrate here about you and your parents were living always with your neighbour sharing your happy and co-operative living. We are and always will be with your parents in the days to come. Wish to the almighty GOD to give the departed soul heavenly abode in peace.    

Naba, this is how I will remember you, your bright mind and bright spirit, radiant smile and enchanting flair. 
I can't believe you are gone, this can't be happening. It will take a long time to accept. 
Wherever you are, may you be welcomed with love.  May your parents, sister and friends find solace. 
Somehow, somewhere, I hope to meet again. 

Monita and family, please accept our condolences on the passing of your beloved sister and daughter Nabaruna. Our hearts go out to you.  You are in our prayers. May God comfort you and give you strength in this difficult time.

Your presence in this world will be remembered in our memories & hearts and we will smile.

Where ever you are I pray you find peace. 

May this be an opportunity to remind ourselves  to love each other. 

A great daughter and pure soul she is. It's hard to belive Boni is not with us. I Pray to almighty to welcome the departed soul. OM Shanti.

Vinay

A great loss for all of us. We have lost a brilliant individual like you.

I hope wherever you are now Bony you bring justice for yourself and hold us together with your positive aura.

I have no other words to express this loss.More power to Piya Pisho and family

Bonie its still unbeleivable for me to know you are not amongst us any more. All your memories are surrounding us. Stay happy wherever you are. Your sweet smile will always be at our heart.

Ful Mami


I still remember my first day at my new school and this bright,  smart girl walking up to me and making me feel welcome immediately! She was always an inspiration and I enjoyed our Harry Potter conversations immensely! 

You'll be missed always. Shall cherish our time together always.


I was deeply saddened to hear about Naba's untimely demise. As a friend from school, I have many fond memories of our time together. I know that no words can ease the pain of losing someone so dear, but please accept my heartfelt condolences.

During this difficult time, I wish for strength and comfort for Naba's sister and family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Sejal

Dearest Didibhai,

At loss of words... Nothing can ever fill this void! 

I hope and pray that wherever you are right now, you are at peace.

~ Tinni

Dear Bony,
It is still unbelievable that you are no more amongst us. You were the most lively soul and will still be the same residing within our heart. Wherever you went hope you find peace and rest, We love you and always will dear Boney.

                                                                             Kana Mami.

Dear Bonny didi, 
I have always admired you for your accomplishments and thought of growing like you, still closing my eyes I only see your mouth full of smile and positive energy that you always had around. 
It's very difficult to accept you are no more in this planet, hope wherever you are you are in peace, We will miss you. 
Wish God send you back to us in any other form and enlighten us with a person like you again. 

Love you, 
Tutul

Words cannot express how saddened we are to learn of your loss. Deepest condolences to you and your family. 
Praying for all of you during this difficult time.

Hi Bonny,
At a loss of words while I am typing this note..you were this burst of positive energy whenever we met. Your infectious smile always made me feel so comfortable around you. I know this is not the end my dear Bonny..life hasn’t been fair and I truly hope justice prevails 🙏

Nabaruna, our dear Bonny as we call her at home, was exceptionally brilliant right from her childhood. We all are very proud of her many academic and professional accomplishments throughout her school, college and at work. 

She was full of life, always smiling and laughing, very confident but down to earth. 

We were always very sure that Bonny would do great things in life. But her brilliant life was cruelly cut short and we just can't come to terms with it. 

We only hope that she receives justice. 

Rest in peace Bonny, we will always miss you.

- Shankha Dada

With great sadness and heavy heart we wish to say that Bonny will remain in our heart forever. Your short stay with us left many footprints and memorable moments. We will cherish those experience. May your soul rest in eternal peace . May God provide enough strength to Tapan , Shipra and other family members to overcome the irreparable damage left by your untimely demise .

Bonny I still don't believe this terrible news. You cannot leave us so so early hence I believe you are still amongst us ; amongst all your loved ones.  Our childhood days at Sankalp; those memories with you will be cherished forever. I wish I could meet you for one last time and give you a tight hug !! 
 Keeping you all Tapankaku Habuli mashi and Titli Rahul in our prayers. 
Bonny you will be missed every moment rest in peace my dear friend🙏We all love you .

 A message from your Prasanta Uncle jhumur anty Rini Di and AbhijitDa

Naba and I were friends in Cambridge school, Mumbai. She was so joyful, smart, funny, strong, confident...always an all-rounder. I remember how we used to dance in school events and chitchat about random life issues. 
I'm deeply saddened and shocked! May god keep you in peace Naba. My prayers & condolences to your sister, parents and family.  

I know that grief comes in waves. That’s why I intend to be with you throughout this difficult journey. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your dearest daughter.  I know how much she meant to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
“I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you’re feeling. I am praying for your peace and comfort.”

বনি চলে গেছে,মন এ কথা কিছুতেই মেনে নিতে পারছেনা।
শিপ্রা, তপনকে সান্ত্বনা দেবার ও কোনো ভাষা নেই।
সবার শুভকামনা ওদের সাহায্য করুক এই পরিস্থিতিতে সাম্য বজায় রাখতে।
ঈশ্বরের কাছে প্রার্থনা করি আমাদের হারানো মেয়েকে যত্নে রাখতে।

***
Bony has left us, and our hearts cannot accept it. We have no words to console Shipra and Tapan. Let us all send our good wishes and support them to maintain balance in this situation. We pray to God to take care of our lost daughter.

Nabaruna was one of the smartest people I know. She was effortlessly brilliant, cheerful and loved sharing happy moments with all her friends and always excelled in academics. I have fond memories of our joyful times in school, in Mumbai, India. I was always impressed how she managed to perfectly balance a healthy social life along with her passion for academics. I will always remember her happy, smiling face as she was always a positive person who brought positivity to others. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, and loved ones. Rest in Peace, Naba. 

Om Shanti 🙏🏻

Had to believe  you are no more with us.we are deeply  saddened.

Naba was a dear friend right from our school days to date. She was full of life, enthusiasm, curiosity and her love for the people around her knew no bounds. 

It was heartbreaking to hear of your untimely demise. 

My deepest condolences to your parents, sister and family. 

Om sadgati 

An irreparable loss. May her soul rest in peace. Deepest condolences to all the near and dear ones.

Let Holy Mother gives you all peace, courage, comfort at this hour of sorrow. Lots of love to you all.

Nabaruna's sudden demise is still shocking n unbelievable for all of us..May her departed soul rest in peace..our deepest condolences to the entire family..




Boney or Nabaruna was very very dear to me. It feels like yesterday when she was born. 

My friendship with Tapan and Habli since our early days makes me feel as if I have lost a daughter. 

This bright spark might have gone far far away from us very soon but i am sure her kindness, her work and her passion will stay beyond her in this world. 

Dear Boney, 

This is to you wherever you are, don't you worry dear child, we will take care of your parents and we will be with them. 

With lots of love, 
Nihar Uncle

I am deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of our Nabaruna.

She was a beautiful and talented girl, and it is heartbreaking that her life was cut short so suddenly. 

She will always be remembered as a kind and caring person, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

With heartfelt condolences,
From Surasree Aunty

Dear Nabaruna,
We will really miss your brightness, your honesty, your passion for things, music, education, your smile, your simplicity…
God give peace to your soul..
May you always live with us forever

We are deeply saddened and shocked due to untimely demise of Nabaruna. May God be with the berived family to bear this irreparable loss. May Bonny (Naba) Rest in Peace🙏

The pain of your absence may still sting, but we’ll always cherish the memories you bring for in laughter and joy we find a connection that transcends all time.

Our deeply condolences to Karmakar family for this great loss 🙏We pray God to give strength to all family members and friends to bear it 🙏

Heartfelt condolences to Naba's parents, sister, and all her friends.

I'll always remember her poise, her beauty, her smile along with how bright she was. She lit up the room she entered. A kind, loving soul.

I am heartbroken about how senselessly she was taken away from us way too young.

Fondest memories of her will live on with everyone whose lives she touched.

Gul

Naba was one of the brightest minds ! 
She was always full of energy, teeming with life . 
She was one of the very first people I met when I started out in a new school in Mumbai, many years ago, needless to say, she left a lasting impression.
From waiting for class to end, to writing poetry and singing at the top of our lungs on school trips, my memories of Nabaruna are ones full of laughter and joy.
Rest in Peace Naba ! You will be missed ! 


One of my oldest friends, with whom I have the fondest memories of my childhood. We grew up somewhere between our common love for Brett Lee and our constant battle between Backstreet Boys vs Nsync across countless sleepovers. 

To one of the brightest, most joyful people I know - Naba, I can’t believe you’re gone. This world is dimmer without you in it. We love you, and we will miss you beyond words.

Praying for your swift justice.
Om Shanti.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Naba’s family. Naba was a beautiful woman and the sweetest neigbor. She would often bring us baked goods or leave candy in her mailbox for our kids on Halloween. We will miss seeing her walk the neighborhood with her beloved Boomer by her side. This is an unbelievable tragedy and we are truly heartbroken. May she rest in peace. 

I loved her infectious smile and jolly nature.

Its immensely painful to see her go away so far at such an early stage of life. I always looked happily at her posts on social media platforms which made me smile all the time.

I am deeply saddened to feel the extreme agony suffered by her parents, sisters and closed ones.

Rest in peace sweetheart.

I have known Bony since she was a little girl. The news comes as a shock. So abrupt and extremely difficult to process. It's hard to comprehend that she's no longer with us. My heart goes to her parents, sister, and loved ones and those lives she touched with her infectious smile. 

She was a beautiful, brilliant soul inside and out, and some of my fondest memories of her were connecting over cricket and her Brett Lee fandom. She grew up to be a wonderful person - warm, kind and intelligent - always wearing her honest smile. She was loved by all, and she inspired many. A speedy justice is the least she deserves.

Om Shanti.

You were my first friend in Raleigh and the last person I hugged before I moved away. Your beautiful heart and soul let me easily create a home in a new city. We studied, laughed, cried, cooked, and experienced so much together. I love you

She was one of the few kindest and accomodating persons I know in my life. I met her when I was a kid with an extremely introverted nature.
I used to struggle hard connecting with people in social gatherings, but never felt any issue while talking to her....she always had a smiling face with calm and composed demeanor.
People like her deserves greatness. Cannot imagine what happened to her. It is still unbelievable for me. Rest in peace friend.

Always the most beautiful smile. This was at her sisters wedding in 2016.

I met Naba while working on a project at SAS together. I immediately thought she would go very far in life. She was so loving, poised, intelligent, and willing to help. She took time out of her day to help me with coding questions and she was truly an expert in her field. Intelligent, very kind, and a very fun & dependable colleague. She was always calm and collected. I remember hearing her dog in the background of our calls. 

She was such a wonderful person and I'm so sorry that the world has lost her. Huge condolences to her family. She was a wonderful, kind, and generous person. 

On behalf of MIT Manipal E&E Batch of 2008-12: 

We are deeply saddened and shocked to learn about the untimely & tragic demise of our beloved friend Naba. As fellow classmates, we shall always remember her as a brilliant & intelligent young girl who had a calming presence & pleasing aura around her. Her skill and quest for technology made her achieve greater heights in her professional career, which has now been cut short abruptly. She was a kindhearted person who cared for everyone around her. While nothing can bring her back, we hope that she receives the speedy justice that she deserves.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family & loved ones of Naba in this difficult & unimaginable period. May her soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.
