Fi�h of the six siblings, Shyamal Kumar

Das was born in a small village Dania

Khali weaver's family of Dis�. Hugli,

West Bengal, who with amazing

paren�ng and wonderful intellectual

capabili�es a�er medical gradua�on

entered PGIMER Chandigarh and

qualified MD General Medicine and DM

Neurology in mid-1985. Being my batch

mate, I had close associa�on with such a

simple, straight-forward, hardworking,

ground to earth personality who despite

all odds was full of empathy for his

pa�ents, colleagues, students and


Dr. Shyamal K. Das, MBBS, MD, DM, FIAN.

truthful to actualisa�on. Married to a

sweet loving caring lady Roma, he was

blessed with a daughter, Surma, now a

Professor in Law and Poli�cal Science

and a son, Sidhharath who has finished

training in bio-instrumenta�on.

With his illustrious carrier, weaving best

threads between teacher and taught,

among peer groups, pa�ents, family,

social commitments Shyamal Da

adopted need-based medical services

a n d R & D . H i s w o r k i n N e u r o -

epidemiology, movement disorders,

aging brain and other fields of clinical

neurology led to 256 research items

with 4605 cita�on, became the 2nd Prof

Bangur Medical College Kolkata and

President of Alzheimer and related

Chapter.

Exit from the existen�al flow was rather

early when few days back Shyamal da

had a massive intra-cranial bleed and we

lost a good human, a friend, a doctor par

excellence neuro-scien�st on 5th August

2018.

This is a great loss to all members of Indian Academy of Neurology, to me specifically as his meaningful ways of living life always, never in ego trap haunted me. Shyamal Da has le� us all, however his values, and ideas will always be remembered with warmth and making a roadmap for becoming a good neurologist. Good people like Shyamal Da accept our condolences with good words like:

Just close your eyes and you will see , All the memories that you have of me;

Just sit and relax and you will find, I'm really s�ll there inside your mind;

Don't cry for me now I'm gone, For I am in the land of songs;

There is no pain, there is no fear, So dry away that silent tear;

Don't think of me in the dark and cold, For here I am, no longer old;

I'm in that place that's filled with love, Known to you all, as “up above”;

We do all stand by against all odds to the aggrieved family always.

Report

I had an opportunity to present the abstract of my thesis on 17th May 2018 at 4th European Stroke Organiza�on Conference held at Gothenburg, Sweden. The �tle of my study is "Labetalol Infusion to reduce Blood Pressure Variability and Hematoma Expansion: A Randomized Controlled Study". My abstract was chosen for oral presenta�on. The conference was very well organized and successful. Several of the sessions, which I a�ended had been very informa�ve and insigh�ul. I learned about the new stroke trial discussed over there like WAKE-UP trial and Point trial. I also had an opportunity to share my study with other delegates and take their views. Overall it was a great experience to hear the experts in the field of stroke discussing major clinical trials. I would like to thank my mentors Dr. Jeyaraj D Pandian, (Principal and Professor of Neurology, Chris�an Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana) and Dr. Mahesh P Kate (HOD, Neurology Department) for guiding and helping me in this work. I would also like to express my thanks to the Indian Academy of Neurology for selec�ng me for the IAN Travelling Fellowship 2018.
