Passing away....

Today heard that an old school friend has passed away last week. We had lost touch some 10/12 years back, then thanks to orkut we got in touch again. Heard that he was sick, had a kidney transplant....finally that he has passed away.
Cant seem to get his face out of my mind....Arnab the guy I knew in school....the shy grin, the slight stutter...the dreams...till last week he was one of us....today he is no more....maybe he is somewhere high up, grinning his shy grin at all of us....how fragile life is....
