As I write this tribute, I am still not able to come to terms to the fact Gaurav is not with us anymore. It is unimaginable that I will never be able to talk to him or meet him. Gaurav was such a dear friend and colleague. I will miss the way he use to greet me each morning in office. The endless conversations over tea and the memories of working and enjoying at work together will forever be so dear to us. Our bay will never be the same without him! He was a person who really knew how to live life to the fullest and follow his passions. I will cherish the time that spent together. One lesson that his life teaches us is, to follow your passions and cherish each moment because you never know what tomorrow holds! May God grant his family the strength to bear this irreparable loss and may his soul rest in peace!
I dedicate this poem by Lord Byron to Gaurav:
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
