Today, the 25th of June, marks the first death anniversary of my father, Melvyn Brown, who passed away in the city of Kolkata, India, one year ago. My wife and I were able to travel to India and reach on time. On the day that we arrived, my Dad passed away after saying goodbye.
My father, Melvyn Brown, was a man who loved writing and being part of his community. He was well-known in the city of Kolkata. I have written a number of articles on my Dad, which focus on the various aspects of his life and career. Dad passed away at the age of 84.
As a tribute to my father, who wrote and published his first short story at the age of seventeen, published several books, founded a Roman Catholic unification movement (Ambassadors for Jesus), worked tirelessly for our minority Anglo-Indian community in India, who completed a “Story-thon” (non-stop Storytelling for three and a half hours), was a chronicler of the Eurasian community, he worked as a librarian at St. Xavier’s College for over 40 years, I created an online Museum, in his honour. I would call Dad, a one-man band, as he would do so much in his life, and every day, was filled with writing, publishing and doing work for his community.
My Dad, was my Hero, mentor and a legend in my eyes. He was a good friend, and we would have many discussions over several cups of tea. We were still in touch, even when I was miles away in London, and he lived in India. Dad and I shared a strong bond. Dad, always followed the motto of “The Christophers”, who published a newsletter, which was, “Better to Light One Candle, than to curse the Darkness”.
