Mayank wanted Obituary to be written when he was alive so I had written for him, which I am sending you now. If you have to read out any obit & wish to do so I am sending.
Dearest Mayank,
As requested by you trying to pen down some memory & obit for you, which I have never done in my life & that also for brother who is 10 years younger to me!!!!!!!
I still remember when you were born my mother (your aunt)was so happy & excited, you were her only brothers first child when you were growing up many people use to call you double khopadi since you had a big head:)
When you got married to beloved Maharukh, your dad had printed invitation card & written, you are doubly blessed by “ISHWAR & ALLAH”. so I am sure you will be in that 8%
Though we didn’t communicate often we always shared a strong bonding.It is said “pen is mightier then Sword”, hence keep writing which will keep you going.I am sure you will beat the second deadline.
You know Once you have stood up to cancer, everything else feels like pretty easy fight. - (David H Koch.)
It’s a good idea to write an obit when he or she is alive, because it is difficult to think clearly when grieving, specially when you are not use to writing, the task of crafting can be mighty daunting, but my interest in eulogistic composition also stems with my fascination with the fact that in the end we all become stories.Ashes to Ashes, & dust to dust, but also words to words.writing does not get much more meaningful than that. & there is nothing quite so moving as an obituary that truly captures & honours the spirit of the deceased.while it is tragic to think you leaving us too soon, you left behind lifetime of memories that we can celebrate.
I wish you a life well lived finds rests & rewards in the afterlife.
* UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN*
We think about you always,
We talk about you still,
You have never been forgotten,
And you never will
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk & guide us through our lives,
Until we meet again.

With lots of love
Meena.
