Derek O'Brien |
As a lonely sparrow shakes itself dry sitting on my window grill, on this rain-soaked, grey morning my mind tries its best to shake away memories of a dear friend. Suddenly, the media is full of stories of people becoming a memory blur. This column is not an ode to a growing number of tombstones but on this day I could do not help. Public demonstration of a deep personal grief is often sneered at; sometimes on is helpless; be it with Aarushi or my dear old friend. Adieu!
