Ram Sonawane has been the peon for the BMS section of Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics for the past 8 years. He has been a friend, helping hand and support system for all the students who have passed out and so also who are still studying at the college. You ask any Sydenham BMS student one person among the non-teaching staff who they could relate very well to and they have only one name to utter and that is “Ram Mama”.
Me being a student of this college I personally have certain instances whereby without him things would be a real mess. I still remember that our Semester III results were to come out. Everybody was tense about the accounts paper and were shivering with fear of getting a K.T. The BMS staff was in the office calculating the results. Students were loitering in the corridor me being one among them to get a hint about our results.
No one was there to calm us down. But leaving his lunch aside Ram Mama was the person standing outside the staff office and telling everyone “Ghaabru nakaa, result chaangla laagla aahe (Don’t worry, the result has come out good)”. He was the one answering the same question asked by all the students without getting irritated. He was the one calmed each one down and motivating them even though in reality he was completely unaware about the results and was just trying to boost the students.
Rana Siddiqui a last year student of Sydenham BMS says that Ram Mama is like a friend to me. The comfort level I shared with him for the last 2 years was commendable. Be it the admission queries or the lecture timings he was always there to help us out. Be it in the college or outside college he was the one who was always there. And always he did this with a smile on his face. I look up to him for being an angel in disguise to all the students. Ram Mama has a personality which makes the students see an elderly person who wishes them good always and hence every student respects him and doesn’t dare to misbehave with him. When we see him his calm smiling f
ace gives us a lot of positive vibes and difficult situations end up into a mere just another circumstance.
He is not only the king among the BMS students but also well-known among the BCOM students. Any work they have with the BMS section the students directly approach Ram Mama. This is because they believe approaching Mama in itself is half work done because they trust him on getting the work done faster and in a simplified way. I am totally glad to be able to write on such a great persona who has been my Best Friend in Sydenham and this would be a tribute to him for being a splendid person that he is.
All I have to say is that even after passing out from Sydenham in the coming year I shall always remember him and through this I want to say a BIG FAT THANK YOU to him for all his good deeds towards us.
