  4th August 2023 we landed in Melbourne and coincidence it's Arun bhai Saab birthday. We celebrated his 72nd birthday in the evening and had a lovely memorable evening with entire family. From that day onwards he made sure to call me almost everyday for almost 35 days stay in Australia. Not seen such hospitality that he himself dropped us at airport when we went for Sydney trip and back home to Abu Dhabi. He also gave me a Hindi upanyas by the name of Niji Sachiv /Personal secretary written by senior Pandey ji( Arun's father). That was such a treat to read and he always asked me if I enjoyed reading the novel. So much warmth and concern not seen in any person in my life. We came so close and become good friends ❤️ in short period. While he left us, It's a personal loss to me and I couldn't hold my tears while listening the words of homage by grand children Sidhi, Arnav, Anisha and Aarav. Such a beautiful soul ❤️ we will miss you Pandey Saab and time spent with you we will cherish always.

  Annu was a very lovable person , we all will remember his smiling face , that was present in most of the family gatherings. About a year back when he came to Pune he made it a point to visit us in Mumbai. We cherish his memories. Mausa ji (Mumbai)

  Fufaji was always smiling, so jolly, and someone who truly enjoyed being with others. I'll always remember how sincerely he followed his routines and how he used to call me "baby." Those little things meant a lot. He will be deeply missed.

  Arun Pandey uncle, our beloved Daddu ji, has left an irreplaceable void in our lives. His ever-smiling face and fun-loving spirit brought joy to every occasion he was a part of. He had a special way of capturing and sharing family moments through his lively videos, creating memories that will be cherished forever. His presence lit up every gathering and made each person feel truly valued and included. His caring, loving, and deeply social nature will be profoundly missed. Though he is no longer with us, he will forever live in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace.

  "आज मन बहुत उदास है... हमारे प्यारे मामा जी, अरुण कुमार पांडेय—जो हमेशा कर्मयोगी रहे, हर काम में जुटे रहे, लेकिन दिल से इतने संवेदनशील कि एक बात पर आँखें भर आती थीं। और हाँ, मजे करने वाले! जहाँ जाते, हँसी-मजाक से माहौल बना देते—जीवन को ऐसे जिया कि सब कहते, 'अरे, ये तो दिल से मज़ेदार आदमी हैं ना!' अब वो नहीं रहे, पर उनकी वो मुस्कान, वो चुटकुले, वो प्यार... सब हमारे साथ हैं। मामा जी, आप हमेशा याद रहेंगे। शांति मिले। मैत्री, मान्या, रिचा एवं मोहित पंत"

  Arun Pandey for the world, but for me it was my Annu Mama. He was a leader in all aspect. Not just in work front but everywhere in life. He was the best son, husband, father, brother, uncle to all of us. We all need to learn from him, how to live life king size and how to create a loving bond within the family. He was there for us whenever we all needed him. This is that loss in our family that is irreplaceable in all senses. At the end just want to say that mama led a very beautiful and fulfilling life. We all should cherish the beautiful moments that we have spend with him. I can just say I would like my life the way he had as JEENA ISSI KA NAAM HAI!
