I knew Rana from his first day in America. He was 16. I had the privilege of watching him turn from a boy into a man, but always staying true to himself by being this amazing, generous soul. He was the bond and the heart of this place and things will not be the same without him.

My mind cannot accept that this dear kind vibrant and noble young man is gone. (’Mo’ would probably be embarassed to hear himself described in such terms, but it’s true.) He always had a ready smile and his generousity of spirit crossed all boundaries. His gracious hospitality was easy - like being in sunshine on a Spring day. I asked him about his homeland (Bangladesh) once when he was tending the bar. “I’ll take you there!” he said. With that, he turned on his laptop computer at the end of the counter and with the help of Google Earth, we were transported around the globe and swooping over the trees of the capital city, Dacca. I was fascinated as he pointed out where he had lived and other points of interest.
We came from different cultures, countries, generations and religious origins, but these were points of appreciation, not division. Mohammed was one of the finest human beings I have ever known and I shall always be grateful for his friendship. And I miss him.

Everytime I went to see my sister Julie in San Francisco I had the joy of also being with Rana and Tanya. Rana always had a smile on his face, was always so positive and full of life. One of my fondest memories is going to Carmel with Rana and Tanya’s family. Tanya and I sat in the backseat of the car while Rana and Luis were navigating in the front. We had so much fun that day, and the car ride was half the fun. I will miss him dearly. Tanya, Rana’s family and friends are all in my thoughts and prayers. He is with the angels now, I guess heaven needed another very special person up above.
All My Love and Condolences,

There are rare individuals who act as a hub for a community of friends and loved ones. This was Rana in every sense. His community was built through his kind and generous heart. Always giving a smile and offering to help all those around him. Always supportive and honoring his family. Now his community comes together in sadness and loss. While we can’t share a smile or a hug with Rana, I believe his spirit is still here among us; holding this community together. Goodbye dear friend; you leave behind a hole that we cannot fill in solitude, but only together.
May 21st, 2008 at 11:40 am
Mo, what a genuine and generous soul you had, we had some great time together. You will be deeply missed brother.
My condolences,
Miguel
May 21st, 2008 at 11:51 am
I am still in shock that Mo is no longer among us, but his spirit will always be here.
Every time we walked into New Delhi, his smile welcomed you. The thought of him not being there is devastating. He was such a genuine soul full of love and laughter and we will miss him dearly.
Mo, Thank you for always sharing your warmth and love with us all. Goodbye my dear friend, We will never forget you!
My sincere condolences to his whole family and New Delhi.

Rana embodied a kind, warm and generous spirit that is immortal and will live within each of us who knew him forever.
My condolences to his family—we share your grief!
Rana, my dear friend, we’ve had countless conversations over countless glasses into countless mornings. Words fail me now. Our friend Rumi had this to say for this occasion and I know you feel the same:
When you see my funeral, don’t say, “What a separation!”
It is time for me to visit and meet the Beloved.
Since you have seen my descent, then do see my rising.
Why complain about the setting of the moon and the sun?
Which seed that went under the earth failed to grow up again?
For my funeral:
Call the drummers, timbal beaters, and tambourine players.
March toward my grave dancing thus,
Happy, gay, intoxicated; with hands clapping,
So that people will know that the friends of God
Go happy and smiling towards the place of meeting.
Jalal-ad-Din al-Rumi
As-Salāmu `Alaykum my friend.
May 21st, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Mohammed was that rare combination of qualities we should all strive to blossom in ourselves; his warmth and laughter, patience and generosity, his intelligence and capacity to welcome everyone to the table sets an example to us all. I wish that I could have introduced Rana to everyone I know now or have known in the past, that I could delight in their sharing with me one of the great friends I will ever have the honor of having, and also grieve for them as they too had bourn his absence. Rana was an excellent mentor who was ever ready to assist and coach. He was comedian and sage. He let me beat him at chess once (and only once) to keep me from falling in to discouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and Tanya. Farewell Mohammad, we miss you.
May 21st, 2008 at 2:17 pm
My dearest Rana,,,, As Salaamu Alaikum
You would know the secret of death
But how shall you find it unless you seek itin heart of life, asyou have lived.
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
trust the derams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and melt into the sun.
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may riseand expand and seek God unencumbered.
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance,,, so my Beloved Brother Dance, dance.
Siempre Peace, Siempre Love

Mohammad ‘Rana’ was the epitome of a welcoming presence. In our many visits to New Delhi Restaurant, he was always ready to strike up a conversation and make everyone feel at home. What a wonderful person, and an incredible loss. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences to his family, as well as all his friends here.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Mohamed
Recently some one who has impacted me greatly has passed away. Which leads me to writing this. I have had many people in my life die and the tragedy is not that they are now gone but that we don’t fully appreciate when they were here. So instead of morning my friends deaths I would like to celebrate their lives. Cheers Mo, and I will remember you every time I get out the chess board, or meet a new person that is so ready to great a perfect stranger with open arms as a new friend.
Thank you for the life lessons and lessons of humility taught though kicking my ass at chess with a big shit eating grin while you were doing it.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:22 pm
When I read the kind words for Mohammad others have posted, it reminds me of how fortunate I am to have had him as a friend. Word for word, the sentiments of everyone who knew him are so incredibly consistent and true. For so many to know him, and for so many to feel the same about him shows what kind of man Mo is. Respectful, funny, bright, a joy to be around, and a helping hand if you’re down. The truth is there just aren’t enough people today who exude the same kindness and ethics on a consistent basis as he did. I certainly don’t. My greatest hope is to learn something from his life, as it is very easy to see there is something special about the man. I firmly believe there is something I will gain positively in terms of compassion and fellowship because my friend Mohammad epitomized those qualities. I know of no greater way to hold his spirit in my heart than to carry his finest traits in greater priority in my own life. I am hurt truly by his passing, yet comforted in knowing how many peoples lives he had such a positive impact on. When my day comes, I would be absolutely honored to be remembered in such high regard as we today are remembering Mo.
Short story on Mo: My Mother and Sister had come out from back east to visit me here in SF. We had a 40 person party at the restaurant which was beautifully arranged as always by Mohammad. My Mother and Sis had never eaten Indian Cuisine before, so obviously were confused as to what they should try. Mo sits down, chats with my family about whatever for a few minutes, then he goes in the kitchen. Comes out with a few plates specifically for my family, which they thought was absolutely phenomenal. When my mom was headed back to the airport, she assigned me, yes, ASSIGNED me to go and thank Mohammad again personally on her behalf. Not because of the food, not because of the service (both top notch). But my Mother said that he made her and my sister laugh, and open up in a moments time by sitting down to talk and introduce himself. She said he made her feel really comfortable and relaxed considering she was just off of a plane, and meeting 40 new people in our dinner party. She had a great time, and made sure I told him of her appreciation. My mother is a pastor, so she meets many of people on a frequent basis. I honestly do not remember her being so adamant about a person she had just met as she was then. True story.
That is what we will be missing. Mo you are a special man. I love you brother and miss you already!
May 21st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Poor Mo! What an awful tragedy. I’m a little shocked and writing is difficult but it cannot stop me from saying how much I appreciated the way Rana treated not just me but all who came into contact with him. I always saw his kind, fun spirit within his smile and was blessed by his belief in my intentions when many others had none. I will always hold that in my heart. We will miss you, man! My thoughts go out to all who knew and loved him.
May 21st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Rana,
I remember the first time I met you. It was Syed’s house. It was your first day in America. I remember your smiling face; so sweet and genuine. You held true to those qualities all the rest of the years that I knew you! You were the corner stone of New Delhi, and more; you were a brother to Ranjan, Kaku to Sarah and Kaitlin, and a wonderful friend to me. The void is endless. You will be missed but never forgotten. Your spirit has touched many, and you will live on in our hearts forever.
I am lucky to call you friend. You are a new star in the heavens, and your light will always shine.
Goodbye, my friend.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Rana,
Love you. Miss you.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Dear Rana Kaku,
I’ve known you since I was just a baby in my Mom’s stomach. We have shared 13 years of priceless memories. Every time I came to the restaurant, one of the things I looked forward to was giving you and Shimu Kaku a big hug :-). Now that you have gone away, a part of us all has gone away.
When I first heard that you had passed away, I was in shock, as I still am. I asked myself, “Why would God take away such an irreplaceable person? What did he ever do?”. Then, when I thought about it, I realized that God had put you here to help us all. Maybe He didn’t know that you could help so many in only 32 short years. I guess He thought you had helped enough. A person’s body is merely a holding capsule for a spirit. Your body is gone now, but your spirit will live on forever. I’ll always love you!
May 21st, 2008 at 6:21 pm
You have left us
and gone away.
You left us all yesterday.
You shared laughter, and love.
Every day
your heart was true
through and through.
No single person
ever had fear
when they knew
that you were near.
Your genuine heart
was always here
whether it helped
with smiles, or tears.
I’ll miss you
Kaku
every day
I don’t know why
you went away.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Rana, my dear brother, you always inspired me with your selflessness, your smile, and your openness. I came to SF seven years ago, and it was you and Ranjan who made me feel like SF could be my home. Whenever I come to New Delhi, I am welcomed like family, and you are the reason why. Each day, you served as the pillar at New Delhi, selflessly and tirelessly executing a vision to make New Delhi a home to us all. You were a true friend to all of us who came to know you there. You will be missed, my friend…know that you touched us all in profound ways. Love, Robin
May 21st, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Rana,
You always told me that I was the little sister you never had, and I thank you so very much for that special place in your heart.
I will miss you.
Your Sister Babita
May 21st, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Rana Kaku,
It’s only 43 more days until I can have that shot.
I love and miss you.
May 21st, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Rana was like a younger brother; many times I wished he was my son, but mostly he was my friend.
A true friend who did not expect anything in return, always eager and happy to help.
I will remember Rana as a vibrant young person with a bright smile and golden heart.
Rana, our hearts may not be as large as yours, but we will carry your heart in our heart for a long time.
Goodbye, my friend!!
May 21st, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Rana your lough & smile will never be forgotten by those that have known you. But life gives very unexpected turns taking away those that make our lives easier.
we will miss you,
Roger & Esteban

Bismi Allah,
I recall a conversation that Mahammad and I had about someone who passed and Mahammad said to me “We come from Allah and we return to Him, this is our way”. Mahammad was a beautiful wise spirit on earth and his beautiful spirit and smile will be missed. Until we meet again. Insha Allah.
May Allah comfort the family.
Assalamu Alaikum,

Rana….
A luminous spirit with full understanding of its path and purpose with a smile carrying light from the sun, moon, stars and cosmic love….
Honored I am to have him as a teacher, guide, brother and purveyor of love through food and libations….
Found he is on my path and in my thoughts through the synchronization of our knowledge and the harmony of our love….
Honored he is for knowing his time of crossing and leaving us not with melancholy but love and light to send him every day in every way….
Want does he for us to be together in peace and feel him with us showing us the way home….
~You got there before 2012 my brother and I feel your smile fill the universe with peace~
I love you,
((((****))))

Mo - you always welcomed me with a warm smile, handshake and open arms. Often too, after a hard day at work, a cigarette and stiff drink. My best memories of San Francisco were made at the Delhi; and Ellis Street will not be the same with out you there. You will be very missed, but the lives you have touched will remember you always. I will look for you greeting me in Heaven when we meet again.
Thank you for everything.

“Mo” you have touched us in so many ways that we can’t imagine not being able to see you at New Dehli again.
We’ve enjoyed so many good times with you and we were always telling our friends how much we love going there, and how we would love for them to come with us. We were able to bring down a few of our friends and they might have only met you once or twice, but they were also touched by your kindness and open arms into your home.
Not only did I, Keith, have a working relationship with Mo, but he became part of our family, just as much as we felt a part of his. We always talked about how we felt the love the minute we would walk into New Delhi and we feel that it will never stop. Ranjan and Mo’s family are such wonderful people that the love will live on forever!
Maile, our daughter, was in New York when we told her the unthinkable news, and she had been blessed by meeting you, and she sends her love from the bottom of her heart. Maile is expecting her first child soon, and she will be having a boy, and we can only hope that she will be blessed to have some of Mo in her child.
We love you and save a space for us close to you!

in june of 1997 i walked into the delhi to meet some friends…i was introduced to mo…the rest is history…since then, i have come to hold a part in my life to the delhi and mo…without realizing it, i had obtained a best friend without even knowing it…to this day, and for the rest of my life, i won’t go a day without thinking about him and everyone else i have met through him…i won’t ever go a day without thinking of him…he was my friend…
i love you mo,

He is the glue. he is the person that will remeber your name when or whenever. He had a simple yet sophisticated philosophy. “get fucked up and do fucked up shit, but don’t shit in my bar!!!” He was the person with a generous and forgiveness positive way in anyting that passes. I will like everyone else remember his genuine point of view in the moment.
May 22nd, 2008 at 5:34 am
Mohammad was not only ordinary person now after what had happened to him but his name would remind you of a mordern Mohammad that had all the quality that brings joy to everyone he met with his genuine personality that brought the diverse of people together at New Delhi with smiles, jokes, care, happiness…to me, I believe that god above had chosen him to be in heaven. With my deepest love for you and your love ones you left behind. You the only Mohammad that I know anyone would love and always remember….
With my deepest condolences and forever love for my greatest friend,

Mohammad was an amazing person, he always brought light and happiness into peoples lives, accompanied by good conversation. Every time I would go in after work for a drink, he was always there to greet me with a handshake, and the most important thing that stands out is he actually remembered my name! He made New Delhi feel like you were just going to a friends house to relax. You will truly be missed my friend…
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:27 am
Mo he only takes the good ones young. You will be missed but not forgotten
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:42 am
Mo was without a doubt one of the most genuine and selfless people i have ever met, we became friends as soon as we met, as he did with everyone. He never hesitated to help anyone if he could.
The world is a little darker without you in it.
Cindy and I will truly miss you Mo, but never forget you.
Just watch over me when I play dice Bud!!
May 22nd, 2008 at 11:48 am
He is my love, my life, my heart,my mentor, my baby, my angel, my Rana. Thank you for your strength and everything you have taught me about respect. I’m very lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. He touched so many lives. I arrived to the city alone and now because of him I have met so many people and new friends and a new family. Thank you all for sharing your memories. I’m extremely overwhelmed, and not really sure what to say. I have so much more to tell him. When I first met him I fell in love with his smile and his heart his laughter, I fell in love with him instantly. We shared so much together. I still can hear Joe Joe yelling out “hold her hand” on October 31, 1998,3 days later after I met him. We were just talking about our next trip,there were so many adventures we had planned. He told me I should take up reading so we could discuss the world. He constantly told me to do my photography. He will always be a part of me and part of everyone. You know who you are, everyone will have their special nick names. Sometimes I would have to ask him, what’s his name what’s her name until I got it. I don’t know how he did it. He worked such long hours,back in forth everyday to his family, to me, to work and he was still able to do things for his friends too. We all wanted a piece of Rana. I promised him I would take care of his mom and dad and family. My heart bleeds for them. They are is life! So many stories,who’s going to lecturer me now. Rana I will miss you deeply my love. He always shared his new delhi stories with me at the end of the night, but don’t worry I don’t know everyones secrets. He would be sad sometimes, but I knew when we saw each other everything was better. In time I know everything will be all right. I miss you baby!
May 22nd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
mohammed,
Thank you for teaching me so much in the 8 years i knew you. Its hard to find friends like you and tonya. I will never forget our memories at the delhi. nights till 4am just talking and laughing. i love you bruh, ateef
May 22nd, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Deep Peace of the running wave to you
Deep Peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the son of peace to you

I remember meeting Rana, when my Grampa Fred Passed on . He Picked me up, Put me on his sholder. and took me out of the hospital Where He Knew I as a 3 yr old, spent a lot of my young life being with my Grandparants. He Knew I loved Them dearly. I’am 8 now, and Rana you are with my grandpa. I learned a lot that day, sitting on your shoulder. That life is good, and we live in a big world. and that day at that time I was on top of the world. Please take care of him. like you did me and everybody else.Your heart will always remain in me for ever.
I will never for get you cousin Rana
May 22nd, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Rana Bhai….is what you insisted me on calling you. To that, you will always be and nothing otherwise.
You embody the essence of Allah and to that, I could not ask for anything more.
You brought me under your wing and showed me the way. For that, I am graciously thankful for.
I have seen how all adore you and I am guilty for feeling jealous.
You, like a mother was unselfish to her child. You, like a friend gave a shoulder to lean on, and you truly did unto others as you would them done unto you.
I will always speak of you in the highest regards. To that, I am absolutely honored. Most honored like a king to his throne.
Rana Bhai….thank you for sharing a glimpse of your life with me. I’ve told you countless times…I could never do what you have done, but now only to want to strive to possess your qualities. And I also thank you for introducing me to those you have. YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL! Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together.(Turner 1945)
To this end, Rana Bhai, may peace be upon you:
Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuh Muslimeen
May 22nd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL AND WELCOME RANA INTO HIS KINGDOM .HE WAS A WONDERFUL AND KIND PERSON ALWAYS SMILING AND HIS MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ALL HE MET.OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY SUNDERAJ
May 22nd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
My dear Tanya,
You were there a year ago when I lost someone close to me. I don’t know if I ever thanked you, but THANK YOU! You and Rana Bhai saw me through it.
Rana Bhai stuck by you and thank you for sticking by him. I know and he’s told me that he appreciates you for doing so.
Even without words, I saw how much you cared for each other. Through the hours of long nights and days to weeks. I envy you both.
No one else would be best for Rana Bhai, but I know and saw for a fact that it was you. Patient and understanding as can be.
Serene to my soul it was and you are lucky. Lucky as I am to see a rainbow after a rainy day.
We are all here to bring joy and enrich your life. Time will heal your punctured heart. When it has, you will shine like no other version of you has ever before.
If you ever worry, remember that we love you, your family, and most of all… Rana Bhai loves you.
May 22nd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Rana was always wearing a big smile. He was an especially good hearted soul, with a kindness you could feel deep inside. My wife and I were at the restaurant having dinner with Ranjan the night before he passed. He came to our table with his familiar smile and warm welcomes. During dinner we saw him admiring two small babies at the table next to us. It was heartwarming to see him sharing his kindness with people he just met. I did not know Rana all that well, but we were friends regardless.
Priyanka were shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Our deepest sympathies for his family, Tanya, and his friends. Rana’s spirit will live on forever, at NDR and in all of our hearts.
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Tanya and Rana - I was pleased to meet Tanya and it seems that Rana’s warmth and openness has become a part of Tanya’s personality. Thanks Rana for the graciousness you extended to Leila and me during our visits to New Delhi Restaurant. You have left many admirers and good friends behind - you will be missed and remembered.
Love from Leila & Ronjon
May 22nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Mohammad’s smile will live on in the hearts of all who have known him. He had such a warm and generous spirit that was so infectious. After working at P&P I would sit across the bar and think to myself, ” How does he do it? This man works so hard and is always smiling and in a great mood without any complaints. Maybe there is something to learn here.” That sure was the truth. Mohammad was so wise beyond his years. He lived his life as if he had the key to the mystery and secret of what life is all about. Loving one another and honoring the people in your lives. He was always there at the Delhi to greet you with a warm smile and a great big hug. He will be missed but never forgotten as he lives on in all of our hearts.My heart goes out to Tanya and his family.
With lots of love,
Darnel
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Rana was an inspiration to us all and a reminder on what the true defintion of what “Friendship” truly means..
I first met Rana 1996 and we worked together at The New Dehli. He took me under his wing and took care of me like a brother. Rana was always there for me, so caring, so humble, funny and always so generous. I am honored to have been one of his many of his friends..Rana thank you for everything!! I am so sad that I didnt get around to tell you that and how much you impacted my life. He has probably impacted hundreds of lives. We will keep him close to our hearts and keep his legacy of true friendship with us forever.. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Tanya and his family…
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Rana; my friend, my brother, I will miss you deeply. Love - Gill
May 22nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
i met Mo a little over 4 years ago. Like so many others I was instantly drawn to him. By my second trip to the delhi it seemed as if I’d known him forever. The sad reality is forever for me lasted 4 short years. For each and every one of us his memory will certainly last until our forever comes. I feel truly honored to have been his friend.
What I’ll remember most about Mo is the way he treated people. Always smiling, always sincerely happy to see you. whether it had been a month since your last visit, or the fifth night in a row. You always got the same smile and hug when you got there, and that same smile and hug when you left. He said every hello and goodbye like it could be the last. Monday night was my last. Something told me to go in for one beer. While I had no idea what it would transpire to be, I’m very grateful I got to see him one more time.
Mohammed, I love you and miss you.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:08 am
I first met Mo about 11 or 12 years ago and he was one of my favorite people ever…Always smiling, and quick with a hug,he was a good friend….It destroys me that I can never see that smile or feel those hugs again, but mostly I am thankful that I had them at all…..
I was going to go in on Monday and show him my shiny new cast, because I knew that he would laugh and remind me of the time that I broke my foot blowing him a kiss and tripped over my other foot…I told him (as he put ice on my foot)that I had read in a book that Sophia Loren used to blow kisses at people when they paid compliments to her…He laughed and told me to remind him to never compliment me again…But he always did, anyway!
My condolences to Tonya, his family, and everyone that he ever touched, because the world will never be the same without Mohammad, but at least we had him for a short while, and we will always have him in our hearts.
May 23rd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Mo,
We are all better for having known you!! You will be sadly missed in the neighbourhood.
Your friends at Foley’s
May 23rd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Momo,
You will never be forgotten.
It is true that the good ones always die young.
I trully appreciate you and pray for your loved ones.
You’re trully missed….
love,
Sofie
May 23rd, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Rana, I have always been inspired by your genuine sincerity, your mystery, your passion. I could sit and marvel at the energy that surrounded you. The friendship you brought forth in everyone you met. You brought out the woman in my little girl, Tanya, and for the love she experienced she became a true woman of the world.
It seems that your life is a gift to everyone who had the good fortunt to meet you. I accept your gift. May all who knew of you pass on your heart full of brotherhood and generosity.
You are missed but never forgotten, Thank you…Thank you…
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Mo,
While I cry like a lil beaach I can only think of you making fun of me for it, And makes me laugh…we had many laughs my brother, we shared many things, we have know each other since 1994 and since then you were always my best friend….
Is there anyone in the Bay Area you did not get drunk?
Is there any Spanish speaking person you did not ask: Le gusta la leche en el bigote?
Is there any heart you did not touch?
I hope that where you are your god is with you. And if the price was 300 virgins that he gives you 3000.
Until I see you my friend …. I’m sure both of us together can start a revolution and get kick out of heaven,
By the way you have to share with your Nicaraguan brother some of them virgin’s…..I’m sure you would! you would give the shirt of your back if a friend asked.
Hasta Luego…Nos vemos Pronto..
Your Wetback friend
Love you Man

In all the years I knew Mo I never once heard him put anyone down or build himself up at another’s expense. His love of people was reflected in the respect he accorded each person, regardless of age, gender, creed, or station in life. Countless times I saw this in his interactions.
He was especially respectful of women, both in actions and in speech. The New Delhi was a place where a single woman could sit and enjoy good-natured company in complete safety. One of the few times I knew Mo to get angry was when a customer at the bar used a derogatory term to a woman. Mo physically ran him out of the bar!
Yes, he would give you the shirt off his back - but I don’t think he would have need of 300 virgins. (smile) For all of his many friends, this modest young man once told me he was “definitely a one-woman man”. Then he laughed that easy laugh we’ve all heard so many times, and said Tanya (the love of his life) was more than enough for him.
My heartfelt condolences go to Mo’s family, Tanya, his ‘second family’ at the New Delhi and extended family of his many friends. Truly we were blessed to have been in the presence of greatness during the all-too-short time that Mohammed Rana was with us. May we carry forward the kindness and grace he showed in so many ways.
Peace

Dear Rana,
We are at a loss for words, for even though it’s been a few days now, we still have a hard time believing that you have left this earth. Your smile, joy and generosity fills our hearts and it was a true privilege to have you as a brother. Thank you for bringing such laughter and happiness in our lives, we just hope in our small way we were able to do the same for you. You are greatly missed, but your wonderful spirit lives on and shall remain within our hearts always.
With Love,
Suniya and Gill

Hey Mo,
Thanks for all the great times at New Delhi Restaurant. I never forgot them, because they were the best times for me.
You always made everyone feel welcomed and made sure they all had a great time.
Take care buddy,
Claude

To my dearest Tanya. I’m deeply saddened by the news of Rana’s passing. I’m super glad that I was able to meet him and see the great man you had in your life. He was kind, warm hearted and had no judgements. I will always remember my trip out there and how he went and bought me some alka seltzer because I was hungover and he told me that it would help. He gave up his side of the bed so I could sleep even though I was so prepared to sleep on the sofa.
My heart goes out to you Tanya and his family. He will be missed by all. I love you.

Tanya: I am without words. My heart breaks for you and Rana’s family and friends. Although I never got to meet this precious Love, Influence, Mentor in your life. Thru your precious family I have heard wonderful things!! May Rana always live thru and withen you. And may God walk you thru this time… never let go, never give up! Hugs blessings, much love & prayers to you. I know we have drifted apart over the years, still I will always love and care about you!! Love Always Sharon
May 24th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
I offer my sincerest condolences to all of Rana’s family, friends and band partners. Be strong and always know that he is in a much higher place where pain is nowhere to be seen.
May 25th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
As Salaamu Alaikum Waramatullahi Wabarakatuh…
Rana, it seems Allah’s Grace, Light and Love was nearest to you, I fervently pray that God’s divine guidance will also be with all those that were closest to your heart.

When I first met Rana, I met him at the SFO Airport for Tanya’s college graduation May 1999. Before meeting Rana, Tanya had told me about the wonderful man she had met. She was anxious for her Grandpa and me to meet him. From the moment we met Rana he was kind, considerate and a caring person. When Tanya introduced us she said “This is my Grandma Rose and Grandpa Fred.” Rana said “May I call you Grandma and Grandpa?” It touched our hearts when he called us Grandma and Grandpa.
On all of our trips to San Francisco we always went to the New Delhi Restaurant (our favorite Restaurant) and Rana treated us like royalty, he always found the time to wine and dine us around the town pushing Grandpa in his wheelchair. Rana you will be deeply missed in our hearts. Now Grandpa Fred will have the honor of being with you in heaven together.
Rana alway,s had a special smile, for everyone he met. My condolences to all of his loving family, all of his friends, and to New Delhi Restaurant. My prayers are for his loving family and my grandaughter Tanya, who loved Rana with all her heart.
I love and will Miss you Rana,
LOVE
Grandma Rose

My Dear Friend Mo,
I walked in disbelief for days not accepting what I had heard. My brother and I had just seen you four days earlier, having dinner that you chose for us to enjoy. My friend of almost ten years can’t be gone. I still can’t accept it but I know that it is something that I must learn to painfully accept in time.
Mo–we shared moments in this world and you made an everlasting impact in my life. You always took care of me and my friends and watched over my brother. You’re my brother that I will never forget and that I will always keep in my heart.
Every night I will celebrate you with a heavy heart, but not for the loss of life but for the beginning of forever in my heart. Mo, my brother, and my friend, I love you and miss you, and will never forget the kindness, generosity, and love you showed me.
Be well my friend, I know you are in a better place.

May 26th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Whether you knew him as Mo or Rana one thing is for certain, you were blessed to have met him… The words kind, considerate, generous, jokester, dependable, friend and brother only scratch the surface of his persona. We are now faced with the difficult task to live without such a guiding force in our lives. The only comfort I feel is that Rana’s spirit will live on in all of the lives that he has touched… My deepest condolences go out to Rana’s family, Tanya and his friends…
I will miss you dear friend!

daer rana kaku,
i’ve been trying 2 b strong and remember the good times that i had with you. as i know you would want me to. i know that you wouldn’t want me to be sad especially if the reason i was sad was you. but every time i think of you my heart just breaks over and over. out of my 13 years of life, you are the closest person i have ever lost. i lost my great-grandfather, whom i loved, but i was sort of at peace that he could be at rest since he was 91. and my grandma who i had only met about 5 or 6 times and didn’t have that much time with since she passed away when i was 4 or 5.
i will always love you. and cherish our memories, and i will keep on trying to be strong for you.
love,
your niece kaitlin
P.S. when i’m older, married, and have a son(if i do) i will be honored to name him Rana. and if my husband disagrees than thats just too bad for him because thats what i will name my son……no matter what.
I LOVE U SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(ENFINITY) MUCH
May 27th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Goodbye my dear friend,
For days I have been struggling to come-up with the right thing to say to you in your passing. It has been weighing heavily on my mind since I heard.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
What can I say that people don’t already know?
Clearly your generosity and goodness of heart was felt by everyone. Your Humor and humility shared by so many. During my two tours in San Francisco I never really felt like it was home for me, except when I hung-out with you. I had always hoped to extend the same courtesy to you if you ever came my way. Unfortunately for me, you were always busy being you and filling your calendar with other people’s problems.
Those who know me know that I’m not the easiest person to like unless you find a way to break my shell. You managed to do that effortlessly and we quickly established a solid friendship based on trust and mutual respect that has lasted a dozen years. Though I still have many friends in the Bay Area, San Francisco will never feel the same for me. I will always be saddened at the fact that I can’t see you and catch-up, share memories and laughs, tell each other what’s really on our minds (what we don’t dare tell others), and exchange solutions to life’s trivialities.
You humored me. You humbled me. You laughed with me, not just at me. You consoled me. You protected me and looked-out for me. You even fed me when I hadn’t the means to do it myself. You truly were one of the greatest friends I have ever had or ever will have in my life. You were a very smart man, smarter than me (you can stop patting yourself on the back now!).
I will miss you, as always, until we meet again. I will do what it takes to make sure I make it to heaven just to see you. Even if all I get is a temporary visa, I will even be nice to jackasses, just for you…
To all those who were close to Mohammed (as he liked to be called before Tanya smartly made him introduce himself as Rana):
I can’t imagine the size of the void left in his passing to all those who saw this great man on a daily basis. To not hear his infectious laugh or his smart-aleck comments anymore. To not be greeted with his warm smile and bright eyes anymore.
His shoes cannot be filled by only one person. Clearly, however, he would want us all to find peace and happiness. He would want us all to help each other more in his absence.
Goodbye great friend & brother.
Your loyal friend,
-Bully
May 27th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Rana bhai,
I don’t have the words to describe how I feel. I will always miss you and feel your love and warmth. Will never forget your smile. You always made me feel like home and took care of me like your little sister. I am very shocked and I still cannot believe it. You will always be in my heart and a piece of san francisco I will never NEVER forget anywhere I go.
I will always miss you and love you, and never forget our conversations and dinners after work. My heart is with your family-Shimulbhai, Tanya and everyone.
Love you always,
sumila, your munna.

Mohammad was simply an amazing friend. I knew him through the Deli and although I moved on and wasn’t so much a regular there I can say that when I did ocassionally stop by I was always greeted warmly by Rana. In fact I popped by one time(hadn’t been by in a couple of years)and needed change for the bus as I’d left my wallet at work, of course being Mohammad he gave me several dollars and bought me a beer. When I came by the next day to pay him back he wouldn’t hear of it. I will miss you friend. You take a piece of my heart with you.
May 28th, 2008 at 11:34 am
the first time i met mohammad i was taken aback by his compassion, generosity and superhuman kindness. he was a pure soul, he will be direly missed, but all of us will take a little bit of him inside of us to live on.
May 28th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I am very heart broken by the lost of my dear amazing friend. He was like a brother to me. I met Mo around the time when the restaurant was first remodeled and I’ve been going there before I was 21. Don’t worry, he didn’t service me any drinks then. New Delhi is my Cheers; you go where everybody knows your name. I was always taken care of every time I walked there. I was treated like family…Mo always made me, my families and friends feel very welcome. He would always try to get us drunk and the drinks never stopped coming. Things will never be the same anymore. Walking into the restaurant and not see his face and not getting the hugs and kisses on the forehead (for ladies only).
Mo had a BIG heart and I will miss him VERY much. He will always be in my heart.
Tanya:
You, your family and Mo’s family will always be in my thoughts & prayers. You know where find me if you need a friend or a gym partner… :o)
I LOVE YOU MO AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
May 28th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
I love u kaku
May 29th, 2008 at 2:48 am
Rana,
there were many times that i fell down and you always picked me up, never judged me, and accepted me for the drunk that I was. You always had time to shoot the shit and more than once had helpful advice to give. I will miss you much. You’ve always had my respect and admiration. have a pint set aside for me, cause I’m sure I’ll see you again. later
May 29th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
dear mr. rana,
i actually meet you only at once. but, still me and my family will naver forget you smile and your friendly nature. i fill realy a very sad when i heard this news.god bless you.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:36 am
when words aren’t strong enough to express sadness, we have tears
When words aren’t funny enough to express happiness, we have laughter
Too often words can’t explain the true meaning of warmth in a friendship. For that, now and forever, we have Mohammad Faisal Alam, Rana.
To Tanya, to Billy, to Louis, to the New Dehli Family, to the many more who welcomed me into their lives over 10 years ago, my heart goes out to you. I miss you. I hope this tragedy will bring us closer.
Mo, it’s been an honor to have known you and a privilege to have called you my Friend. Thank you for your love.
until later, peace

June 2nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
Rana my brother…I just found out what happened and I can’t stop crying. I remember my first trip to The Delhi. The first of many it turned out. I spoke to you for maybe 2 minutes but when I stopped by a few days later to find my friend you remembered my name and asked me to hangout just in case they showed up. I knew you were special then and I was right. Good times and bad you were there giving your most valuable asset…your love and advice. A part of me has died today. All I have left are memories I’ll cling to until I’m up there with you if I’m that lucky. You made huge impact in my life and I love you man. I’ve missed you and Tanya. Storm, Jesse, Babita, Paco, Alex, Billy and Ying…all of the New Delhi family. My regrets and condolences Tanya I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know how much you both loved each other. Mo…Rana As-Salāmu `Alaykum my friend.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Mo, I know it’s been over 5yrs since I’ve seen your smile and it saddens me to find out that I will never see it again in person.
You were one of the first people I met when I arrived in SF. I was barely 21, and now a grown woman, I realize what a special person you were. I’m so saddened to hear about your passing. My condolences to Tanya, your family and your friends.
My time in San Francisco is filled with memories of you and the “Del-High”. So many afternoons I’d walk to the delhi for a drink after work, and it was so comforting knowing that I’d know at least one person there-you.
Tanya, You are probably overwhelmed with everything and after so many years and so many meetings, you probably don’t remember exactly who I am. I’m sorry to hear about your grief, and I’m so sorry for your loss, you two were a model example of how a relationship should be. Always supporting one another. I have a great photo of you and Mo at the beach that would like to share with you.
Even in your passing you have brought people together, Mo- just like you always did in life. You will be missed by the many people you touched.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
i found the bracelet you gave me for one of my birthdays today. i’ve been looking for it since may 21…..i’m sooo appy i found it.
i can carry this with me forever…. it would look pretty funny if i carried around the PSP u and shemu kaku gave me
i love u soooo much. and i regret the fact that i didn’t tell u that enough. but i think u knew it, just how i knew that u luved me
i miss u
i luv u
and i hope 2 god that he’ll let me go 2 heaven when i die so i can c u
so…i’ll try 2 be the best person i can b and follow ur example so that i can be with u again…..eventually
i’ll always love u

Mo and Tanya - It has been 10 years since i first stepped foot in the New Delhi in San Francisco and 8 years since i last saw you both. I was then just a young Irish student. What a wild summer we had in ‘99 and ‘00. The pints of death, the all night sessions and the craic! I still have the wallet you and Tanya gave me for my 21st birthday. I am now married with a little boy and I hoped one day to return to San Francisco and to introduce you to my new family. I am saddened and shocked to hear of your passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tanya, your family, Mo’s family and the New Delhi family.
Love Amy (Ireland)

John told me many things about our best friend Rana. One thing that touched our heart of what he said “I have never jealous anybody in my life” John said “I believed him”.
Rest in peace. Great friend.

June 11th, 2008 at 9:15 am
To those we have have not seen in years, thanks for all the memories, they are with me in my heart. There have been so many friends that have passed thru the New Delhi, and I still think about a lot of you. Good times we have spent, whether it was staying up late at the New Delhi, the BBQs at Golden Gate Park, and of course playing pool, jet skiing. Rana loved spinning 360 in the water. Oh my gosh, the time we went camping. Ha ha. If anyone wants to send pictures to show me and Ranas family please send them to tanyetta2@msn.com or you can send them to MY ATTENTION: Tanya Feeman at the New Delhi. Thank you!
June 12th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I heard from Ranjan’s email about Rana’s sudden passing, and was and am so shocked, that I have not yet been able to accept it. I was very fond of Rana, his infectious smile and greeting every time he saw me at The New Delhi made me feel very welcome there. So, now the thought that he is not there anymore, is just too hard for me. Btw, I bike past the NDR every evening, but cannot get myself to stop by, knowing that Rana is no longer there. But one of these days, I will stop by, and say hi to Ranjan.
May his soul rest in peace. And his smile live forever. Really. For ever and ever. And I know that it will, in everyone’s hearts, all those who knew him, who knew his smile, who knew how wonderful a guy he was. God bless Rana !
June 13th, 2008 at 8:51 am
I did not know Rana well, nor have I known him long. In the short time I did spend with him I was touched by his warmth, sincerity and generosity. His was a special light, truly, and from just a glance at this page, it’s fair to say that light continues to shine just as brilliantly even in his physical absence.
Bless Rana, his family, his friends and his New Delhi family.
June 13th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I met Rana just a little over 5 years ago–what a refreshing spirit he was, always positive with a smile on his face. He was someone who could always lift my spirits just with his presence. We became instant friends and talked just about everything and anything…my gosh, all of those drunken nights at New Delhi!!
I moved away just about a year after our meeting and hadn’t seen much of him since, but I remembered our friendship forever.
I was in such shock to hear of his passing as it was so sudden…and am still in shock, saddened and mourning but I feel his spirit lives within me and all that has met him.
Bless dear Rana in heaven, Tanya, family, friends–my heart reaches out to you.
June 13th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
My dear Rana,
I was shocked when I received the email from Ranjan about your passing. I am still in shock and cannot believe that the young man who was friendly and full of live is no longer with us.
My sympathies to your family and to the New Delhi family who loved you.
You will be missed but never forgotten. Thank you for coming into my life.

Que dios te bendiga siempre.

Rana was always there for me through a really rough patch in my life. Although we knew each other for only a couple years he’s always part of my favorite memories from California. It’s a sad thing to hear about someone that wonderful passing on. I can only hope to see him again.

July 2nd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I don’t even know where to start. I met a girl about a month ago - I mentioned something about The New Delhi and she told me a friend of her had just lost a friend who worked there. In my state of shock I couldn’t bring myself to stop in - for fear of what I would find out. Today I find myself heart broken - and unable to accept the fact that what I didn’t want to find out is reality.
What can I say - I came to The Delhi for the first time in 1995 - just after Planet Hollywood opened - we all made it our home away from home - Mohammad was always there. After I quit working at Planet - my 5 year daily visits became fewer and fewer. Without a beat though - I would make random trips to the Delhi - and feel like I was coming home - Mohammad would all but get me my “usual” drink without even asking me if I wanted one - how do you say no to a friend you have known since the mid 90’s - especially when they know not only know your drink order - but your food order too. “Home” will not be the same upon my next visit. I can’t imagine how I will feel next time I make my way in.
What a sad day. I will cherish all the years - the laughs and all the friends that we have shared along the way.
You will be missed - today and everyday.
The man who didn’t just call me Carin - but always - Carin Telle.
Keep an eye on us all - the party will be amazing when we all meet again!! I’ll bring the Ketel One, Cranberry and sweet & sour.
Love!!!!!!
July 2nd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I’ve been going to the New Delhi for 3 years now. In that time, going to the New Delhi has transformed from a great night out into meeting family for dinner. Perhaps I will never get over the shock and sadness that consumes me everytime I return home for dinner. However, although my time on earth with Rana was cut terribly short, I will treasure every precious moment we shared together.
Rana, please excuse my selfish tears, they won’t last too much longer. However, the smile that creep across my face every time I remember you will last forever.
July 6th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Rana - your ready smile and kind heart will be really missed.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I was just visiting New Delhis website and saw the posting for this man Ranas passing, i did not know him but none the less it is a life lost and from what i have read on some of these other postings, Rana was a kind man.
I am sorry for your loss.

Rana-
I think about you everyday and I hope that you are resting in peace and watching over everyone that loves you.
and the next day you were gone.
I still can’t believe that Monday we where talking about that new Indian Restaurant (won’t mention names but you know) and how you told everybody that I was going to work there…which I wasn’t
I believe I was truly blessed to see you before and I wish I said goodbye when I left but you know me, I come in there one way and leave the other…drunk…usually…lol.
Love you Rana,
RIP

A few days before may 20 i was thinking about all the things you have seen and helped me go through. i was thiinking about my graduation and my 21 b-day and college and even my weeding and how i would invite u tanya and shimu kaku. it just goes to show that life is the most unpredictable thing there is. you didnt even get to b here for my first day of eighth grade(though i knew you were watching over me anyways).
my brain still cant fathom the idea that you arent at the restaurant or at the city. that you areent on earth. and it makes me sad. i don’t cry though . i know this is a novel but its going to b the last time i write here. i want you to be able to rest in peace.
out of every person i have ever lost you were the hardest. i expected you to b there forever. i knew i could always c you when i went to the restaurant.i looked forward to it when we went. my only regret is that i didnt see you enough.
now every time my family drives away im afraid i wont see them again. and i know its bad to feeel sooo scared but i cant help it. im aways worried.
i am soo glad i called during your meeting with my dad the night before and said goodnight. i guess in my heart i knew that i had to. now i treasure the times we had together and all of my memories.
i love you with all of my heart i will never forget you not ever. i hope every day that i am being good enough so that i can be with you when i die. and i try my best.
I love you kaku,
ill never forget you,
goodnight
Love forever,
kaitlin
