Started as colleagues and ended up becoming friends! That's the short story of Abhinav and me. His infectious smile is I what will miss the most. It was just few weeks back that we had spoken about all the random stuff in the world and pub hopping in Bangalore once I move. 
Never understood the source of his drive to do things, without complaints, with a smile.

Abhinav, you will be missed forever! Wherever you are now, keep spreading your smile as world needs it more then anything else.

Abhinav and a bunch of others at Ezetap had made it a practice to go to A2B on Friday mornings. He sat next to me on the second floor in the Ezetap office.
I once tasted the sweet he would bring back from these Friday morning excursions and said that was nice. I could not join this bunch on Friday mornings since I was driving in from a distance.
On all Fridays after that there would be an extra sweet small box kept at my desk on Friday mornings - no request was made, no conversation it was just there.
That was who Abhinav was...
Also an amazing manager who would go out of his way to reward and keep his team engaged in really thoughtful ways...

God keeps the nice ones...hope you are making the other side as beautiful Abhinav.

Like all good stories, this one starts out with us drinking ourselves to ridiculousness. At the said party, we somehow after a year of knowing each other realised we liked gaming... on opposing platforms. We couldn’t have that now, could we? Not without “heathy dialogue”. Especially with someone on the fence who was a part of the discussion. (@Kiran). Abhinav, I hope you get all the games that you want to play (and their DLCs) on the XBOX I heaven and you stay there until I can get the latest PS to show you the difference. Miss you man. You left too soon.
