Nagpur News:
November 24thwas perhaps the saddest day of my life. One of my dearest friends Kevin and Abhishek met with his untimely tragic death in a bike crash. Right now, I am living in a state of denial. No part of me can believe that they are no more. Why?? That’s a question I just can’t get an answer to. As, there can’t be a justification as to why the kindest guys ever should be taken away this young. All they did were spread joy and happiness wherever they went. Was that their crime? My faith in life, god, goodness took a huge blow.
Life without them would now be Colorless and the joy would fade with the falling tears. Though, they will live forever in our heart and memories.
They taught us what being true brother and friend was. Things are never going to be the same without you guys.
Kevin’s cousin sister Smisha Jinoj posted on his facebook timeline, I miss u my dear brother. I have lot of memories that u spent with us I knew you from childhood. May god give your parents the strength & your soul rest in peace.
