Leave a tributeToday I am as old as u could ever be, it feels such a mysterious anomaly in time.
But in memory, I know you are beyond time now.
its now been 3 years..and almost 4 since we last spoke, you claimed then that you had forgotten your own birthday..little did i know that i would never get to wish you again.
I remember still the sound of ur throaty giggle .. ur pain evaporating smile and ur sense of wonder at the smallest of things. The wide grin you had in front of a stumptuous meal.
Rajaram sir introduced us over email when i had just joined FC and that day for an unknown person you braved the rains in order to give me your copy of spacetime physics with your signature on it. Its still my most prized possesion and i still go through it and wonder just where in this spacetime i lost you.
I am sure where you are you would be clucking at my english ..i just wanted you to have something to read this year as well. Sorry it took me 3 years to write to you. I guess i am finally able to do so now.

Mom still sets you as an example in front of me when I think of giving up. The way you made my eyes open up to a whole new world, so many things you made me interested in, answering my never-ending questions. Thank you for shaping my life, the way it is today.
If you are up there now, be a guiding star to Shatadru, he needs you most. Love you
U shall be missed... Rest in peace....
Forever missed ishita
Dear Ishita, may you rest in peace.
