Frankly, I did not know him personally at all, but the news of anybody's departure from this world, let alone someone who you came across is heart-breaking. So many dreams, so many aspirations, and so many hopes of the deceased and his acquaintances get crushed. We humans think we are infallible and plan for decades ahead, yet all those dreams and plans are entirely dependent on our next breath. We are the strongest, yet the weakest.
Gone too soon, Prithvi! May your family & acquaintances find the courage to bear this irreplaceable loss, Ameen.
