Dr Kishalay Barua , who breathed his last suddenly and untimely due to massive heart attack on December 15 in Kolkata , was an eminent physician and a senior citizen of the Dispur area of Guwahati . He was 68 and has left behind his wife Mitali Barua, two daughters and a host of relatives and friends .

Born on November 28, 1954 in a culturally renowned family, he was the son of late Dr Jog Jiban Barua and Smriti Rani Barua of Gauripur . A brillant student since his school days, Dr Barua studied in PC Institution, Gauripur; Cotton College, Guwahati and did his MBBS (1979) , DLO (1982) and MS-ENT (1985) from Guwahati Medical College (GMC).

From 1980, he served efficiently in GMC Hospital, Silchar Medical College, DownTown Hospital, Rahman Hospital besides serving in Goalpara, Kokrajhar and Ri-bhoi district of Meghalaya .

Since 2019 , he was associated with research and expanding literature on pituitary adenoma by ESBS in collaboration with Otolaryngologists from UK , New Zealand and Australia. Dr Barua , popular for his amiable nature and helpful attitude towards the needy people, had great appetite for reading books of various subjects and love for poetry and music also.As a childhood friend, I noticed him drawn to Swami Vivekananda's philosophy and writings since his school days. He was a person of patriotic and nationalistic ideology . His sudden and untimely demise has saddened the people who knew him. On his Adyashraddha today , I pray for the eternal rest and peace of his departed soul!
