I don't know why you did it, and I don't want to know. You were one of the strongest people I knew, and I'm sure what compelled you to do it would have been more than fatal for any of us. You were one of the best and truest friends I've had had through middle and high school. Honestly, if we were Christians and you would have been around till my marriage, you would've been the top contender to be my best man. No shit. And having said that, you would've probably rebuffed the whole idea, claiming that the M-word was a no-go :) . I still remember and cherish those fun rides back from Axisa(though they used to be quite scary for me, and I hope Naman Nidhish will readily corroborate :D ); those boring Sankrit periods in 9/B and our mutual hatred and cussing of the tutor; and also my borrowing your scooter to learn driving it :) . If there's one thing I've learned from you after all these years together, it is to keep trying and never give up, like you (almost)said to me once, "It's not always about winning or losing, sometimes it's also about fighting and trying till the end". You had the best sense of witty sarcasm and humor I ever found in a human, and also the superhero-like ability to make even the most morose of people laugh. Though now you're gone, I wonder who it is who's gonna make us smile again(Looks like you didn't think this one through :'( but then, nobody's perfect :) ). You're going to be sorely missed. To the best and most loyal friend one could hope for,
Fly High, Jayant Sharma.
