Dear Vishal...

Dear Vishal,

It's a huge loss for all of us. You left all of us in your early twenties! I do remember you as a perfect gentleman. You were humorously ours. Everyone from M-NDA/228 AFSB - 2 Mysore was fond of your personality. We exchanged our contacts, memories ideas and lot more. There was a phase in my life when I was a little bit of nervous and low, you were one of them who changed my perspective, negated the negativity. You were one of the most reliable person I have ever met in my 21 years of life. I wasn't willing to believe this, that you are no more. But it's a harsh truth which everyone of us has to accept and digest.

You were, you are and you will always be my friend!

My friend I'm sure you will always be a happy and pure soul! I can't say more than remembering the following shloka’s from भगवद्गीता, as I am at loss of words -

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि- न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः ।

अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो- न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे ॥

The Spirit is neither born nor does it die at any time. It does not come into being or cease to exist. It is unborn, eternal, permanent, and primeval. The Spirit is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. (2.20)

अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य ऐव च।
नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः।।

Weapons do not cut this Spirit, fire does not burn it, water does not make it wet, and the wind does not make it dry. The Spirit cannot be cut, burned, wet, or dried. It is eternal, all-pervading, changeless, immovable, and primeval. Atma is beyond space and time. (2.23-24)
