How very true, how very sad, and how very strangely coincidental - last
Tuesday, there we were, 4 very good friends who'd decided we needed to catch up
and spend some time together especially after the hectic pressures leading up
to 31st March! A lovely evening together, good fun, unwinding, cracking jokes,
some liquor, good food and, by 10:30 we hugged each other and left - with a
promise to meet again, soon, in fact this very month, on the last Friday.
At 4:15 I get a call from the wife of one of them - my close friend had woken
at 3:30 with "acidity" clutching his chest. By 4 he was dead, leaving behind a
stunned wife, a son who is bang in the middle of his preparations for various
entrance exams (IIT JEE, AIEEE et al)....
Life IS too brief.
