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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
