Farewell to the The Dean Ismail Siblings

From 1983 to 2007 Flight of eight swans to the heavenly shores ………………………. My tribute to the 8 siblings that comprised my dad’s family.

 

1983 …………… A  dull and rainy day upon returning from school was whisked away to Mt. Lavinia to the announcement that Zain Uncle had died that day. Zain Uncle or Bada Zain was my father’s eldest brother – the eldest of 8 siblings born to M.S.D (that’s what my grandfather was known as) and Hanoon Ismail. He was a larger than life figure and I picture him just like that. A booming voice, large house full of dogs (his prize winning Golden Retrievers, Labradors and the occasional Spaniel)  and all the paraphernalia,  memorabilia and the stuffed leopards, the hallmark stone studded pillar in the middle of his hall and the billiards room. The eternal smell of good food , the huge cauldron of soup he made himself with everything and nothing put in. Faithful Selvaraj, hovering around. My memories are vague of him and though we did not have a very close relationship with him,  I do remember him for getting me the most beautiful (at least in the eyes of a five year old) hand embroided and  smocked blue dress done painstakingly by the Nuwara Eliya Franciscan nuns. I remember the busloads he took to Kataragama and where he conducted a feast at the mosque, the mountains of rice the thousands of people who came for the feast……. For the chocolates and visits to the Mt. Lavinia beach, and for buying me my first “Lamb Chops and Shari” book from the Mt. Lavinia Hotel bookshop. For all the stories some tall and surreal and some unbelievable…….. about the Maharajas who he knew, the counts from Italy, the Lords from England, to the politicians of the 60’s and 70’s who were in and out of his house, the actors and  actresses of yesteryear, the socialites and butterflies who availed freely of his lavish entertainment, his sojourns and wild life expeditions personified his vibrant personality. His offspring come in the form of Randa, Nuzath, Rajiha , Hani , Sufi (though we knew him as Shamsdeen as kids) and of course little Niszreena (though not little now)  and are now scattered all around the world. This grand old gent of Mt. Lavinia – Hotel road is still spoken of though he has been gone over 27 years and that’s how he will be remembered……………………

 

 1985 ………….. just after my A/Level and in preparation of my Law Entrance Exam (though I could not sit for it that year as the release of A/Level results got delayed ) came the a real shock one gloomy October morning. Sithy Haleema Dean Ismail or Aunty Baby as she was popularly known, the youngest of my dad’s siblings succumbed to an asthma attacked. She was the favourite of all the siblings. Fair, bright, bubbly, far ahead of the times and utterly unconventional, she was the epitome of what a straightforward human being should be. Unmarried though not of choice, she didn’t let this deter her quality of life and showered her love on the offspring of siblings. Be it toys, sweets, books or just advice or time, we were showered with tons of it. Me, in particular was left in her care from the age of five when Dad had to be based out of Colombo, and her qualities and habits (and some say her looks) have been etched in me. She had a quick fire temper, but her goodness over shone. Be it stories about Shirley Temple or the imaginary characters Tina, Lina , Ronnie and Tony kept us enthralled. Her dreams of finding me a tall, handsome foreigner when I grew up, her concocting delicious dishes, her uninhibited faith in the Oneness of the Almighty and moving away from the conventional beliefs practiced by relatives have all been deeply imprinted in me. Her love of movies, songs, and community living have made its permanent impact in me and I can write books and books about my this particular aunt and eventhough its over 22 years since she left us, I still miss her sooooooooooooooo much. I am sure she would have been thrilled with every single achievement I made, of the babies Imara and I have , of Imara’s success in the shop. Her time with us was too short and too soon and I am sure what I have become today is partly what she moulded me to be. I may never be as generous or whole hearted or straight forward as she was, but I know thanks to her I have learnt to think out of the box and I am so glad she was once such an important part in my life

 

 1988…………… 4th August and we were preparing for my birthday due the next day, but a call in the early morning just about shattered all the plans. My uncle Nizam had passed away peacefully in his sleep, though he had been ailing for a while. Just like uncle Zain, we did not have a one to one relationship, but in his own way Uncle Nizam made his impact in my life. His wit is what I will always remember him by. His devotion to his wife , Jenitha Aunty and his two children Nijath and Duraid was exemplary and inspite of his limited means, he just about gave the best he could. His visits home and the games of scrabble or cards we used to play or him bugging me (when I was older) of how I used to pester him to bring his children home do bring nostalgic memories. His knowledge on gems cannot be questioned. His house was an open home for the family and he was a mine of information for all the people who knew him.

 

 1993………… in March my aunty Ina, succumbed after a bravely borne battle with cancer. She was Dad’s 2nd sister and was the epitome of mischief in her youth. Stories of her pranks and actions are legendary. She was known also for her culinary skills, though she did confide in me that shortly after marriage she didn’t even know to boil rice, though she sharpened her skills subsequently.   Her naughtiness and unpredictable actions, have been inherited by her elder son Evin, while Turney her younger son is the complete antithesis of her. My, spending the weekends with her and her cooking my favorite meal of string hoppers and her extra special beef and potato curry all specially for me. The walks down Sulaiman Avenue, chats with the Dassanayake’s and Anil Uncle, trying to calm down Kawshi the dog down the road. Her acts of generosity towards the slum dwellers in the area have borne fruit today and her patronage of the Jawatte mosque is still spoken about the people of the area.

 

1994……………… Shortly before my first wedding anniversary , we bid adieu to my Uncle Omar, a reputed bird watcher and animal lover. His  bald head and light eyes and the color of his skin made one often ask if he was a foreigner, the looks which both his sons Alaudeen and Mohiyadeen have inherited. He was an avid bird watcher and knew all the names habitats and just about everything on birds. The story that I was named after a bird name “Shama” was a standard joke between us, and some time before his death he spotted a Shaheen Falcon nesting on top of the Ocean View building and would spend most evenings trying to spot the bird. His knowledge on the subject enthralled all who knew him and even though in the scores of this material world he would be in the bottom rank, amongst the nature lovers and those a tuned to the natural habitat he surely will be amongst the highest. His utter devotion to my dad and the long hours they spent in each other’s company in spite of the vast difference in their intellect and likes, sometimes keeps me in awe even today.

 

1998…………. November , and Aunty Fatty (or Fatima) passed away peacefully in her sleep. I remember her always with the prayer books and the thasbi (rosary) . Her  youth had been a colourful one , where she was totally involved in politics and business, but in her latter years she took to prayers and religious devotion. A cook par excellence she was known for her puddings and pickles, which she did on a commercial scale during the latter part of her life. She was plump in her youth hence her pet name , but I don’t remember that and a socialite who had adorned the fashion pages during her younger days. A not so rosy marriage that endured a hard life for her and add to that with her only child deciding on her own course of life contrary to our beliefs and values, did make her bitter and turn to religion and spirituality and she passed away in a serene state, inspite of the many illnesses and hardship she bore during her earthly life 

 

2001………………. October 19th….. the saddest day in my life. It was good bye to Daddy – Izzadean Mohamed Ismail, the most wonderful human being anyone can come across. Words don’t justify and words will not express what I felt, feel and will feel about him so the words “saddest day in my life and the most wonderful human being “ just about sums him up

 

2007 ….. January 15th . After 3 nights in a coma, the 6th of the 8 Dean Ismails and the last survivor bid farewell to earth. Unmarried by choice, her life was what I would say was devoted to her parents, siblings and their offspring. Her patience, her way of covering up all the misdeeds of those she loved are her hallmark qualities. An Elvis Presley fan in her younger days , she too became the teller of many tall tales for the youngsters specially Taahera, Mikhail and Danyaal in the last days of her life. And they in return do miss her to bits and in their tiny ways rebel at her passing away.Unlike the rest of her sisters, she was no cook – and delighted in telling that she didn’t even know to make an omelet, but she was a food taster par excellence and a collector of sweets. She loved any type of sweets and had bags of biscuits and sweets at any time for the “kids”

 

Its difficult to sum up this jotting. So I just leave it saying that the 8 siblings must be now having a good jaw amongst each other and in the company of their parents in heaven. May Almighty Allah grant all of them Jennathul Firdous!
