From a colleague at Renaissance School, Queens, NY:
"She was a great teacher, different because she knew how to establish a wonderful relationship with her
students. She was a beautiful woman whose personality inspired many students. She was a person who
went out of her way to create paths for neglected and disadvantaged students."
From a colleague at University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg,
South Africa:
"We remember a warm, vibrant, sensitive, brave, competent
friend, vital and alive, with dreams and the capacity to realise them."
From a friend in Mumbai:
"We are lucky to have known Jhumki, who has lived so many lives
in one short lifetime."
From a student at School for Democracy and Leadership,
Brooklyn:
"R.I.P. Miss Jhumki... I will miss you... you did so much for me
that's why I am who I am today."
From a friend in New York:
"I am profoundly grateful to have known her these past
years - to have come to know something of her warmth,
compassion, brilliance, humor and sunny spirit.
She has touched and changed many, many lives and
made the world a better place."
From a colleague at Castilleja School, Palo Alto, CA:
"In thinking about Jhumki's outer and inner beauty, easy laugh, quick wit, beautiful smile, compassion,
strength, courage, and intelligence I just know we've all lost one of our finest alumnae and friends, and her
students have lost a magnificent role model and teacher."
