This is a sad day. A Childhood friend passed away. Died of a brain hameorrage or a high blood pressue. Well that remains unclear and i may never be able to find out. Or maybe i don't want to! I know no one in his family. Had not seen him for the last 15 years or more. Even as i write this his funeral is happening. No one's told me or called me ....but i just know it. We were close. We were good friends.
We are always saddened by the death of our loved ones. This is a natural human trait. This emotion is deeply ingrained in our hearts. Therefore we mourn the loss of our loved ones at the funeral. But when you come to think of it, funerals are not really for the departed. Funerals are for those who are left behind. There is no doubt in my mind that the "deceased" wonders why those who are left behind are saddened, when he is in such a blissful state.
Blissfull State?? Well i don't know how is it to be dead....but they say death is just the begining of life!! If that be true i hope he gets a good life after death.
I fought with him over a trifle issue and said "i will never talk to you again".
It was only yesterday once i knew of the tragedy that i realised i hadn't thought of him for the last so many years. Well i could have told him something. Just anything. A simple 'Sorry' could have been good for a start. But i don't think i will be able to say any of that now....
I lost my time with a friend ....i lost my opportunity to say sorry ....i lost my friend.......
WHO DIED ??

It is a Sad moment......we were quite close but out of touch for more than 11 years. I dint see him or talk to him ever since i left amritsar.
There was always this longing to find out how he is?
My heart-felt condolences to his family.
Laadi you will always be there in my fond memories of our days in School and College. May your soul rest in peace.
Oh Man seems you were very attacged to you friend...never knew or felt that you are so emotional...!
It was a really sad moment for me. I remember, I found out just hours before I was heading for the airport as I was returning back home to Toronto after spending four months in Delhi with my father who was very ill at the time. I was shocked, upset and again reminded of the hard fact that how unpredictable life really is? Althought, I has never seen Laddi since I left Amritsar after grade 12, his image was still so clear. My condolences goes out to his family. May God give them the strength to deal with this irrepairable loss!
