A Tribute

You know what the worst experience in life is?

To hold up the dead body of your best friend on your shoulder, carry him to the funeral alter and set him ablaze. Yesterday (2nd Aug, 2005) was the longest and I hope the worst day of my life. I lost my best friend Mickey to a sudden heart-attack and the worst part is, none of us still know why it happened. A healthy, well built, handsome hunk who loved life more than anyone I can imagine, lost his most priced possession-his LIFE and we lost our most priced gem.

I have been a friend to Mickey for almost ten years now. The school days where we had an estranged childhood, the both of us, bonded well on that front. We were the only friends the other had. Universally disliked or may be just never ‘in the group’, we had our own fun in school and this guy transformed once we were out of school. He was the most kind, understanding, and extremely giving person. Someone who taught me that life is not for worrying your way through it but to live it the best we can. He taught me how to dance, how to dress well, what perfumes to buy, where to save money without compromising quality, and most importantly, how to be a nice guy and smart all at the same time. An over-enthusiastic party animal, a major movie buff, and a hard-core foodie. This chap was a one-man party package. And all of twenty-three. He had three dream; owning the fastest bike, having the fastest car and making shit-loads of money. On the face of it, these are the most common desires of all young individuals, and that was what was special about him. He was just another young blood and he admitted to it in style.

I’m not in a condition to talk about him too much, especially in the past-tense. I can not digest that this one heck of a healthy bugger is no more going to be eating out with us, or just meet up for half an hour for his dose of smokes. I can do but little to pay tribute to him and this post is a prayer to have his soul rest in eternal peace. You beat us to it once again man! God bless you!

…ONE SWEET DAY (Mariah Carrey feat. boys-II-men)

Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you.
'Cause you've flown away, so far away.
Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me.
It keeps me alive.
Alive!
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
Picture a little scene from Heaven.
Darling, I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared.
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
Picture a little scene from Heaven.
Although, the sun will never shine the same,
I'll always look to a brighter day.
Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll always listen, as I pray!
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
