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 MSD (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 were delayed) came the a real shock one gloomy
October morning.
Sithy Haleema Dean Ismail or Aunty Baby as she was popularly
know, 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 favourite meal of string hoppers and her extra
special beef and
potatoe 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-others company inspite 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”
It’s 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
Shama
