My Friend Rush

A good friend of mine passed away recently, the doctors could not diagnose the problem and she suffered for a long time.

Cannot really come to terms with the fact that she is no more.
I got to know her on a a project, she did not want to get staffed on to the project, as she did not like the technology, and on that project i was playing the track lead role for the first time. I was floored by her dedication, inspite of not liking what she was doing, whatever she did was just perfect. Her dedication, commitment was amazing.

After that we got an opportunity to go to london on different projects, got to know her lot more. She will always tell me, aap ko thoda enthu hona chahiye...aap bas kaam karte ho, life mein masti marna chahiye.

She belonged to Sonipat, she was first girl in her family to have studied till M.Sc , first one to work in IT, who had gone abroad. I am sure in her city, she must have inspired lot of people.

She used to stay on her own in Delhi, she use to take proper care of food, use to get up early to make lunch for herself everyday. She was full of enthusiasm, loved to work hard and party hard, loved to explore places, roam around..i still remember that night in london, where 4 of us played staapu and lot of childhood games...and laughed imagining what would people feel if they saw the video monitors.

Later she came to b'lore and stayed with me. It was nice having her around. Though we were very different and were not close buddies but could always understand and connect.

Just feel god is unfair sometimes....what had she seen in life, she had so many dreams....may god give strength to her family to withstand the loss. i know its very easy for me to say this....

Rush, i have learnt a lot from you...thanks for teaching me what life is.
