It was a very sad news for all Bengali's in Vizag. Karmakar uncle was a retired Navy person, he was a great lover of Music, its he who made sure all Bengali's get together on special occasion and organised musical shows, if not on stage at least at home.
He passed away on the 6th of june 2010. he was suffering from mild cold, which ultimately took his life away.......I remember him saying once "when i will not live on this earth, on my death anniversary organize a musical get together."
He was a very broad minded person, His elder daughter in law is an Oriya girl, and the younger daughter in law is from M.P. He always encouraged Young people to be sportive and fit, ate good food, sang song very well and hosted function very efficiently. He was a person with lot of humor also.
West Vishakha Cultural Association (WVCA) lost a very active and talented member, we all will miss you in this Durga Pooja, uncle.
