Eulogy to Anis from his classmate, Chetan Ramchurn, at Royal College Curepipe

Eulogy to Anis from his classmate, Chetan Ramchurn, at Royal College Curepipe In memory of Anis Dholah 11.07.1984-26.02.2025 We were destined to be friends. my father, late Vijaykumar Ramchurm and Anis's uncle, Mr. David Pellegrin were colleagues and mates at St Andrews School. Anis's brother, Brian was my father's student in high school We were both at the Royal College of Curepipe and in the very same class for 7 years. I was born on the 10th of July and Anis on the 11th of the same month in 1984. Still, although all the stars were aligned, while we were always on friendly terms, we only bonded in the latter years of our high school journey. Anis has travelled to Israel and had returned transformed. He was kinder; more profound in thoughts and words. Later in our professional lives, we met again and collaborated on a number of flagship projects. He had grown into a thoughtful and compassionate man. I've read that in the Bahai faith the soul does not die, it progresses to the spiritual world of Gods. Baháʼu'lláh said that death is a messenger of joy and one's light is never extinguished. Brother, I wish we had more time to talk. You will be deeply missed and your light will never be extinguished. ============================== Éloge funèbre à Anis par son camarade de classe, Chetan Ramchurn, au Royal College Curepipe À la mémoire de Anis Dholah 11.07.1984 - 26.02.2025 Nous étions destinés à être amis. Mon père, feu Vijaykumar Ramchurn, et l'oncle d'Anis, M. David Pellegrin, étaient collègues et camarades à St Andrews School. Le frère d'Anis, Brian, avait été l’élève de mon père au lycée. Anis et moi avons tous deux étudié au Royal College of Curepipe et avons partagé la même classe pendant sept ans. Je suis né le 10 juillet et Anis, le 11 du même mois en 1984. Et pourtant, bien que tous les astres aient été alignés, alors que nous avons toujours entretenu des relations amicales, ce n’est que dans les dernières années de notre parcours scolaire que nous avons véritablement noué des liens. Anis était parti en Israël et en était revenu transformé. Il était devenu plus bienveillant, plus profond dans ses pensées et ses paroles. Plus tard, dans nos vies professionnelles, nos chemins se sont à nouveau croisés et nous avons collaboré sur plusieurs projets d’envergure. Il était devenu un homme réfléchi et compatissant. J’ai lu que dans la foi bahá’íe, l’âme ne meurt pas, mais progresse vers le monde spirituel de Dieu. Bahá’u’lláh a dit que la mort est une messagère de joie et que la lumière d’une âme ne s’éteint jamais. Mon frère, J’aurais aimé que nous ayons plus de temps pour parler. Tu nous manqueras profondément, et ta lumière ne s’éteindra jamais.

Anis' Life – As Far as My Memory Serves

Anis' Life – Education ------- Anis was born on July 11, 1984, weighing 5 kg at the former Jeetoo Government Hospital. From the very beginning, he was full of vitality and life. A highly intelligent boy, he often complained that he wasn’t learning anything at school. I still remember the day he came home early, having skipped school. To my surprise, I had to take him back myself. He argued that he went to school for nothing. Later, we discovered that he had been avoiding school for several days. Je lui ai donné une fessée that day, and he never forgot it—he would often remind me of it later, though I always felt sorry for it. Despite these early school struggles, Anis excelled in his studies. He passed his CPE exams successfully, ranking 49th in the country and placing among the top 100 students in Mauritius. He then attended the Royal College of Curepipe, where he passed his SC and HSC brilliantly. Pursuing higher education, Anis moved to France to study Law and later return...
