RIP DP

Life's so fragile.

I lost one of my close friend Daidipya in a road accident.He was on his way home from college. Our college had just ended and everyone were looking forward to the journey ahead. There is so much of excitement,anxiety as I look and try to see what life has in store for me.I am sure DP felt the same way.

Sometimes God seems unfair and unkind.He should have protected him.

I came to know about this incident from my friend Ketan. It was quarter to 12. i was lazily browsing on the net and relishing my Butterscotch ice-cream.I have never received any call so late in the night. I got an eerie feeling.Something was wrong. Soon i felt it in his tone.I let the ice-cream melt. My hunger was gone. Next morning i couldn't listen to my Ipod.

Visiting his home was one of the most emotionally draining moments. i have been to condolence meetings before but this was different.The sheer grief and shock his family experienced is unimaginable. I hope my family never goes through this.

Everyday i am reminded of him. I am reminded of his face. It was so fresh and alive. It was like nothing had happened. Somehow i wished he would just get up.

I have learnt two truths in the last couple of days:
1. Change and death are inevitable.
2. Denial or rejection of 1 causes sorrow.

RIP buddy!
