Inspiration

Tarun da left us all to go back to India with his wife, of course. That night when we all were recounting our fondest memories of his enthusiasm, optimism and brilliance, I learnt a very important lesson.

Yes, sooner or later we will all part. Not just this time, forever this cycle will go on. Today friends, tomorrow family. If there's any way I can leave an impression of me, it is only in the minds of the people. Of late I have become too aloof, too withdrawn. This way my time with all these beautiful people around me is a waste. I give nothing, I gain nothing.

Too afraid to lose, I have forgotten to win hearts. I must love, must laugh and care. If I do that, there will be less to complain and a lot to appreciate, both within and around.
