A Story Left Incomplete or Advaita Finally Achieved?

It is strangely overwhelming how people suddenly come into your life and create a life long impact. I have come to realize, the time spend with the person has nothing to do with the attachment binding the people together.

Today has been a sad day for a fraternity and personally for me as well. Nandu Narsimhan, a colleague, a respected senior, a mentor and a friend decided to leave us all behind. In the past few months Nandu was often talking about going to a better place, I guess his wish really was heard. The man who introduced me to the concept of Advaita and made me want to live the philosophy finally achieved what he aspired for.

I do want to write so much more over here, but then the thoughts are so muddled over your sudden and unexpected departure that my usually lucid brain seems to be befuddled with chaotic thoughts.

Nandu Sir, you will be sorely missed time and again. I hope your soul is in that better place we all want to eventually go to. I also pray for your family and believe that God will give them strength to move forward and soar to the heights you wanted them to go to.

The heavens wanted the goodness of Nandu. The man is no more, but he has left immortal imprints in Manu hearts.
