Ram buxani biography of william

To his life, his compassion, his courage, his accomplishments, and his triumph.

Prominent Indian businessman Ram Buxani, who had been living in the United Arab Emirates since he came here as an year-old, died at 83 on Sunday.

With warmth, care and affection. Ram Buxani today, after fifty years of living, working in and contributing to Dubai, is someone who many have heard of, know or silently admired and aspired to emulate. Fifty years, in fact seem such a short time in which he has achieved so much, both in terms of substance and recognition.

From a beginning which was in every way a non-starter, he has marched ahead, leaving no stone unturned and no path unexplored. He has carved out and defined a space for himself, a space which few are able to locate, and fewer able to define and protect. When we, as his family look back at his life, at our life, we see him standing tall against all odds, promising both him and us that he would make every effort.

When we look at him today, we see his promises realized, but more we see him making newer promises each day. We see him looking at newer horizons and making finer commitments. We see our dreams of yesterday, realized in his life today; and we see our aspirations for tomorrow in his dreams, efforts and thoughts. As human beings, each of us does hold certain limitations: and perhaps so does Ram Buxani, maybe not so much limitations as weaknesses.

As his family, and those who know him closely, we notice and feel compelled to point to two: first, he is extremely sensitive to the concerns and troubles of others; and second, he is candid in his criticism about the careless waste of resources, whether time, money or even emotion. While the former is quick to be exploited, the latter is rarely appreciated.

Nevertheless, he continues to hold steadfast to both these weaknesses, which is possibly why his nature and personality emerge richer and more intense than many. More than a man, and more than a life, Ram Buxani is a lesson, a message, an exemplar - a lesson on relentless struggles for success; a message conveying the imperative never to give up, surrender or feel diffident; an example of unmatched professional triumph coupled with profound humane accomplishments.

As his family, we pray for him - that his desires are realized, pray that his dreams come true, that his aspirations are fulfilled and that he continues to be showered with immeasurable happiness, comfort and contentment. And more, we urge him to cogently continue his journey and not to stop anywhere at any obstacle or shudder ever at uncertainties, but instead to move ahead vehemently remembering the words of Keats: "there is a budding tomorrow in midnight.
