I was away for a business trip over the CNY holidays………
On Sunday, Siva called me and informed that Ranjit was no longer around.........
I could not believe it………
Ranjit was like the older brother I never had………
His Vadivelu's likeness, his tendency to play Saloma Salo, his ability to make everyone laugh......
I first met Ranjit thru Siva in N9....
He was a resident DJ there......
Initially, Ranjit was pretty formal with me but as time went by we got closer………
He would bring his gf out with us and we would have a great time together…………
As responsibilities as well as work load grew, we started to meet less often but were always in touch……………
His sarcasm was somehow refreshing in a weird way………
On the day he left us, he was supposed to meet Siva but that was not to be……
He was working 2 - 3 jobs so that he was able to marry his sweetheart of 7 years this year…………
Siva and I were worried about him and his lack of sleep but he assured us that he was fine…….
His loss has made me realize the fragility of life and how lightly we take life……
My heart goes out to his mom – he was her ray of light, her only son, and yet it was extinguished before her……
I was unable to attend the funeral because I had sustained an injury on my right leg, which I realized much later was a hairline fracture, but from what I heard, his father was ONE heartless man……
*am not gonna go into details – for those who were there and saw whateva went on should know*
my heart goes out to Revathi – he used to talk to me about her, her past and how hard he tried to make her be the person she is today………
I, personally was neva close to her but any case I always emphasized to Ranjit and her that we could always hang out together……
In fact, he always wanted us girls to be close……
Alas, he was never meant to be………
I really hope that she would be strong and move on to be the person he wanted her to be………
Her dream or rather, their dream was that she would have her own beauty shop eventually……
I hope that at this point of time, her vulnerability would not be taken advantage of in any way…………

I now thank God for everyday I live………
No matter how tough life may be, how many fights we go through with our loved ones, we should always thank God for being able to live another day………
I stop asking myself why I am alive ‘coz I now know I’ve put on this earth for a reason………
Ranjit, no matter where you are, I won’t let you down………
I know what I promised you and believe me, I will do it………
Somehow as I sit and type this, I feel you looking over my shoulder………
You will be missed my dear friend………
