Prof. B D Gupta and Mrs were close friends of all those who met them even once. Such a helpful couple well known for their open heart hospitality and ever smiling face. BDG was most helpful in any thing I ever requested, whether in the wedding of our son, organisation of international conference, selection of faculty for the new institute I am at, and many other times as well. They have successfully transmitted these characteristics of hospitality, smile and helpfulness to their children also. Words fail me and many others to express our great sense of personal loss. May his soul rest in peace.

We remember Prof. B. D. Gupta as a man with an ever smiling face and a positive outlook. He was warm and kind to all. His positive attitude was infectious. As a family we got to know each other through our sons. Both were in the same class and have been fast friends. His passing away will leave a vacuum in our lives. Saroj and Vijay Singh Ex-Faculty, IIT Kanpur

It is really a huge shock as I also had the distinction of being taught by BDG (as we fondly called him) in our MSc batch of 1988. Also, my close friend and MSc batchmate, Alokesh Ghosal, who had terrible sleep cycle did his MSc project him at our time and I still remember he was very patient with him. Personally, as a senior colleague, he had has provided me with a large number of inputs when I was trying to compile the Departmental alumni list. Bhabhiji has always been a very warm person. On behalf of our batch of 1987 M.Sc. (Chemistry) graduates, I would also like to convey the message that our condolences lie with the bereaved family and may his soul rest in peace.

My family and I are deeply aggrieved by BDG's untimely departure. His sane advice and guidance was much sought when I entered the Chemistry department as a new faculty. I was able to interact with him often and see his ever-smiling face as my laboratory was next to his laboratory in the Core Labs. Soon we became close family friends: we rejoiced together on festivals, celebrated together in success and helped each other in need. Lasting memories of BD flood us at this hour of grief as "only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love" (Gerorge Eliot). BD, we will miss you!

Prof. B.D. Gupta taught me chemistry in my 2nd year and I always admired his energy and enthusiasm while teaching. Even today, I remember the way he used to explain physical chemistry concepts to us in the class. I pray to God that his soul may find peace in the heavens.

The sudden demise of BDG had been a great shock for many of us who were his former colleagues and friends. For me it is indeed a great personal loss as we worked together during the last five-six years talking and discussing and writing almost daily in bringing out the text book "Basic Organometallic Chemistry" which was one of his dream projects. We even used to fight on issues related to the book and then make up later and it was a great learning experience and although has was more than 10 years senior to me, he was just like an elder brother to me and never ever got angry or upset and was always willing to learn something new. As the first edition of our book was sold-out within an year and the international edition hit the Amazon top seller list, he used to call me up and tell me how happy he was. I have no words to express my sadness and me and my family join Bhabhiji, children and you all in sharing the grief. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. His ever smiling face, friendship and boundless enthusiasm will always be remembered in our hearts.

I just got this news and all I can say that I am shocked! BDG loved teaching: he was a serious, passionate & gifted teacher - I took one course (during my PhD) with him and I will remember for ever his eloquent lectures reflecting his profound knowledge in Inorganic Chemistry in general & Organometallic Chemistry in particular. Apart from that he has been one of the most enthusiastic Profs in the Department: I remember how he patted me with affection after we all put our efforts together to bring the Chemical Society Freshers Night to a different level. May his soul rest in peace!

I am devastated to hear of the untimely death of my dear friend and colleague B D Gupta. I will always remember him as a the kindest, most caring person, with a great passion for his chemistry and the greatest concern for his students. What a terrible loss for his family, his friends, and the chemistry community. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
