16th September 1982 - 22nd February 2008                                                                            

Birth..... Life.... Happiness.... Suffering.... Pain.... Sorrow..... Joy.... and the inevitable DEATH     Its a cycle.. for some the cycle is completed in a shorter duration

Once upon a time there was an innocent boy, who loved and respected his parents, cared for his younger brother selflessly and wanted to give him all the happiness in the world, spread joy in the lives of every one around him............. always wanting to help.......... what a "gem"

His simplicity was misunderstood. His extraordinary kindness made every one around him feel ordinary.

He was not meant for this world they say... This selfish world

He has completed his journey within 24 years..........and it is the next level for him now.... like Tetris... The next level!!  

He fell sick and never recovered...........His condition deteriorated every day and we watched him die slowly ....... The infection spread to evey part of his body but still we hoped and prayed for a miracle......... This tragic end was inconcievable......... But after struggling for his life in the ICU of a famous hospital he vaccated Bed No. 8457 leaving behind his grieving parents, a brother who does not realise what he has lost and relatives who stood by his side in those last days.

A day does not pass when you are not remembered.

His face flashes infront of our eyes........... the innocence..........  the smile........ he stares at us from the innumerable family photos and videos celebrating birthdays, rakhi, holi, diwali.......... there will be no more.. 

Here is to you baby, whereever you are.... you shall be missed  

This is not the end but the final awakening................

Until we meet again!!
