"Notebook" 
 The Statesman, New Delhi dated Monday May 7, 2018 

Few called Malcolm Booth anything else, for that senior citizen
reached out and won the love and respect of people of all ages.
In fact when a younger person called him "Mr Booth", he would look around and quip, "I can't see my Dad anywhere here". The veteran railwayman and stalwart of the Anglo-Indian community who passed away recently following age-related complications bridged the generation-gap with rare aplomb, and had left behind a host of friends, admirers and well-wishers in Lucknow, Delhi and latterly Pune. At a memorial service at his much-loved Frank Anthony Public School several people recalled associations that stretched over six decades.
Mally had two passions in life: the railway and his miscroscopic minority community. 
A leading Mechanical Engineer who served the Northern Railway, Railway Board and RITES with distinction, he wass "the last word" on locomotives. Not surprisingly, he helped established the National Railway Museum in the Capital to help conserve the heritage of the "permanent way". So, until recently, he was frequently consulted by his successors to guide them when facing problems.

After retirement he plunged himself into community affairs, toiled tirelessly and despite a no-nonsense air, injected compassion into the granting of scholarships etc. Though he never arrogated unto himself the accolade of "educationist", he was proud to serve on the managing committee of many A-I schools.
Mally had a special brand of humour and an inexhaustible stock of "naughty jokes". When a sweet young thing teased that he was a wicked old man he shot back, "I may be wicked, but not old", with a disarming twinkle in the eye. No wonder that so many said that while they mouned his passing, they felt privileged at having so many happy memories to recall.
