Life taken too soon.

One of my favorite professor passed away today evening IST. He was fighting against Jaundice but had to surrender to it atlast. He was not from my college. But we used to go for tuitions to him. He was such an awesome teacher that you would just fall in love with him...in the right sense of course. Even thou I hated every subjects he taught me, I loved going to his classes. He could just make all those boring equations, theorems and machine principles and working into something more dramatic and interesting. And the way he dealt with us students was like a friend. He would get angry if we cross our limits otherwise he's just so awesome. He would tease and pull our legs like there's no end. 

Two years before, his wife died of cancer and they have a lil boy of maybe 6 or 7. And maybe coz the mother was sick, the kid was so attached to his father. Even during the class the lil dude will call out for his father and at times will come and sit in the class.

First thought that crossed my mind when heard about his demise was his child. He lost both his parents. Suddenly he became all along in this big world.

Why such fate to good people? He already lost his wife, and that too, to cancer. And before she died, she was sick for many years. But one would never guess that from his personality. He was always a cheerful and smiling man. He used to tease me about my riding speed and used to tell that I just scare him the way I ride. But still send me to buy the markers needed for the class, saying that I won't take much time to return, courtesy to my speed. Suddenly I just miss him so much. Even thou I never had any contact with him after those classes. But the thought that he's no more and even if I wish to see him once, I can't... that just hits somewhere deep.

Death is one guest who comes without any invitation, without permission or even without knocking. And when he goes, he just takes a dear one among us, leaving us completely shattered.

Sir, I respect you with all my heart. May you find happiness in the eternal world. You were just awesome when you were here and played your role really well. Hats off to you. Proud to meet you and to know you. You are an inspiration!

P.S. Live your life beautifully.

God Blez.

  2. Sorry for your loss my dear. It takes a wonderful teacher to help us learn subjects that we hate. I think that little boy will grow up to be a very strong man because of his ability to deal with great loss.

  3. Oh that's so sad, I really feel for that little boy growing up without both his parents now. Your teacher sounds like a nice man, hopefully his son is not too young to remember and has family to support him.

  5. I think death is a mercy. Those of us who are left behind, we're the ones who must suffer. BUT, that said, I think those who lose loved ones, while that lingering sense of loss never dissipates, are the most compassionate people on earth.

    P.S. I finally accepted your inspirational blogger nomination. Thank you!

    1. I wholeheartedly agree with "Death is a mercy". But it becomes a pain for the onlookers.

      P.S. Off to your space to read that.
