इंजीनियर आफताब आलम

AFTAB indeed was a Very Noble, Humble, and Dedicated person and we have lost a very lively and pleasing personality from among us. AFTAB will remain in our memories forever.

Aftab Alam you will always be in my heart. God responds to the high place that give you high in paradise and grant patience to the family. Specially your patience two lovely girls. And his wife's courage and perseverance. Brother, you were great. Encouraged by heart the personality ....
 

Mr. Aftab Alam was a good friend of mine and was like my elder brother. Even now I am not able to accept the fact that he is no more with us. We shall miss him. I hope the family will have the courage and strength to fulfill the dreams that Aftab had for the family. May god help them in their journey in absence of Aftab sahab. I am sure the institute will also extend its helping hand to the family.

Indeed its a great loss for CC of IITK. He was my senior during my tenure at CC of IITK. A very supporting and friendly person. Condolences for the berieved familly. May his soul rest in peace.

My heartfelt condolence to the grieved family. May God give them strength to bear this irreparable loss.

Aftab Bhai used to meet me frequently. He came to IIT Guwahati also and spent a few days here. He was technically competent and very helpful.It is indeed shocking that he left us suddenly. May his soul rest in peace.

I am really shocked to hear this. Whereas I did not know Er. Alam personally, I used to see that many of the CC emails are sent by him. Through that I was aware that he was a very senior engineer in CC. And IITK CC was certainly one of the greatest computer and internet facilities I have ever used. My condolences to his family, however futile my gesture.

We stayed together with Aftab ji for about 8 years. I can not forget him in my entire life- Always helpful- be it official, personnel, neighbor, friend. May God, his soul rest in peace and give strength to his wife and daughters to bear the shock. I pray to God to show them the path and give strength to lead the life ahead- Jeena isi ka naam hai...

I was shocked completely to know about this sad news. I am not in a position to say anything in words. I know him since 1987 when he was living in SBRA as one employee of Technic and my neighbor and very good family friend. May God give strength to his family to bear this unbearable loss. May his soul live in peace.

Its shocking and unbelievable that Mr. Aftab Alam is no more. I have very fond memories of interactions with him on several occasions. Whenever I went to him or called him for any issue related to email, he would immediately sort it out with great speed and efficiency. Aftab Alam was a noble soul and a thorough professional. He always wore an infectious smile on his face and was a cheerful person. I will sorely miss him personally. Its a huge loss for the bereaved family and his children. May almighty give them strength to pass through this tough phase of life and bear this irreparable loss. Our heartfelt condolences and thoughts are with the family. May the soul rest in peace. It is also a great loss to the Institute and the nation, who has lost a very dedicated and efficient staff and citizen.

I have interacted with him only once, but the way he behaved with me and my friends was admirable. He was a very good human being. Rest in peace.

Kahane Ko Kuchh Naheen Baaqee Wo thaa Meraa Saathee. Ab to bas Yaaden Hee Yaaden hee Baaqee. Aftab Ke Jokes ab aur naheen.

It is shocking and deeply sad to learn of the untimely passing away of Shri Aftab Alam. I wish his family all the strength in this hour of grief.

I know Er. Alam for the last 25 years. We had spent few quality times during my student days at IITK. I had a long conversation with him on Saturday (3rd Oct 2015) and I enjoyed the moments without knowing that this will be the last one. I certainly miss one of my good friends of yesteryears. May God grant peace to his soul and enough strength to family members to over come this loss.

Really shocking and unbelievable. He was good friend of mine. I can't express my sad feeling in words on his untimely death. I pray to GOD almighty to give courage to his family to bear this irreparable loss.

I was shocked and very saddened to hear of the demise of Mr. Aftab Alam. I knew him for many years through my father and we had many interactions about Linux, HP-UX, and related things. I spent hours in his office when I was younger, and he was a very patient and affectionate person. Later when I was a student at IIT Kanpur, he was extremely helpful on the few occasions when I consulted him. Many things changed in the Computer Center over the years as I grew up on campus, but it was heartening to see that many core members of it -- him in particular -- remained there and continued to enjoy system administration, reverse engineering, and tackling some very technical problems with networking, security, hacking, etc. I had not seen him for a few years since I left IIT Kanpur, but I have often reminisced about the late evening discussions with him over tea. He will be missed dearly by the entire campus community, and by several generations of students who he so patiently helped.

My heartfelt condolences for the whole family. He was a very helpful person with nice attitude. His loss will be felt at IIT Kanpur.

Very sad to hear this shocking news of his untimely demise. It is a great loss to me as he was one of the friends that I made that in IITK. I will always remember him as a wonderful person who was always eager to help people, sincere & devoted to his work and very good human being. May the Departed Soul rest in peace. I pray to the Almighty to give the family all the strength and courage to bear this untimely and irreparable loss. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family.

Indeed it is a very sad news. I remember having talked to him only a few days back. He was in cheerful mood. May his soul RIP.

This is truly sad and find it hard to express how I feel. May his soul rest in peace.

I share the sentiment expressed by several others about the demise of Mr. Aftab Alam. I had interacted with him several times for help, and on every single occasion, he had been very gracious and helpful. May his soul rest in peace, and his dear ones find requisite strength to cope up with his untimely passing away.

This is shocking news. Aftab was a gentle soul and much liked by all. May his soul rest in peace.

Extremely sad and shocked to read this news. Aftab was a noble and sincere person always ready to attend to any problem facing an off-campus internet user, in particular as per my interaction with him. May his soul rest in peace for eternity.

Very sorry to hear this. Aftab was a good friend whom I knew for many years. Please pass on my sincere condolences to the bereaved family.

This is very unfortunate. Please convey my sincere condolence to his family. May his soul rest in peace.

This is shocking! He was such a nice and healthy person! May his family has the strength to overcome this trauma.

This is really sudden and sad. I saw him just few days ago and he was looking all well.

It is quite shocking. I met him a few days ago and found him perfectly fine. He was a nice person and always eager to help you. May his soul rest in peace and God almighty give strength to his family members to tolerate this un-repairable and untimely damage. In grief.

This is shocking. Aftab was an active member of CC team and has Contributed a lot to the system. I suggest that 'QASID' may be renamed as "AFTAB" if technically possible. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

This is truly very sad. I knew Aftab very well. He was a great friend. We had met the day before near the banyan tree while he was possibly on walk with his daughters and we exchanged wishes. I will miss him.

Very sorry to hear this sad news. He was such a nice person. Please convey my condolences to the grieving family.

My sincere condolences. As it often happens on this campus, I got to know him closely when we were partners on JEE IR duty - at Gorakhpur. He was sincere, competent andthoroughly devoted to his duty. I remember almost every moment we worked together. His demise is untimely, to say the least.
