You know, Facebook shows these advertisements that comes on the right side of your pages, one of those are "People You May Know" as known as Friend Suggestions? Well, one of our senior brother's name is appearing on that list very frequently. It's like I've seen his name which came as a suggestion in the past one hour for 7 to 8 times at most. And the most weirdest thing about it is, he died few days ago in an accident along with his wife.
He was about 9 years senior to us. We neither ever heard his name nor ever met him until he passed away. Yet, it gives a kind of depressing feeling. We belonged to the same institution, after all. This fact connects all its students, somehow, even if you have never known all the people belonging to your institution.
I checked his profile. He got married very recently, on May, 11, I guess. It felt so weird that I was checking out the profile of a dead person. Weird in the sense that when we'd die, this blog, our online existence would remain as it is, may be in a more haunting manner! I used to joke about this lucid truth. But it's not funny anymore. Was that some kind of a sign that the advertisement appeared on my side bar so frequently?
I have so many plans to execute. I'm not even married to my best friend. I want to experience my life living with him. I haven't even planned to live the new life I'm supposed to have on 2012. I've to get my PhD degree. I've to leave my mark on the research fields of Statistics. I've to make my parents proud of me and be responsible towards them. Although, I have no plan yet, but I would also like to have my fat baby boy before I die. I want to plan something after 10 years or 20 years from now on, where LASH would reunite at some place of this world coming from wherever we might be. I want to meet John Mayer and tell him how he always inspired me. Will I live that longer to do all these and more?
Sure Buddy. All your wishes are very simple. Those came out from the bottom of your heart. ' Mr. Destiny' would fulfill all your dreams.
ReplyDeleteWe won't be there to welcome the year 3000! But our blogs, emails, and the songs we listened would do.
There was this kid, one or two years younger who passed away maybe umm... a year ago or so. His Facebook account is still "on" and people comment on his wall everyday (his wall is open so you can see them), even now after it's been so long since he passed away.

ReplyDeleteTake care and yes I wonder what will happen to my blogggg..
@ Buddy: Well said! We won't be there to welcome the year 3000! But our blogs, emails, and the songs we listened would do.
ReplyDelete@ Rintu: It gives a kind of very depressing feeling. I'm down. :(
ReplyDelete@ Bikram: Hope so!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder, is it stupid to write all these personal stuff on blog? Then there comes this feeling of solace that better express all the true feelings whenever they pass through life. Kya pata, kal ho na ho!
Yeah it's depressing and eerie also... whenever I check out his wall it feels like he's still alive.
