in loving memory...

they say that in serbia, there's an insult that goes "i wish your house will appear on cnn tonight" because that would mean said person's house would have been visited by an american bomb during the airstrikes conducted on kosovo.

after tonight, it is not going to be a phrase i view with much amusement anymore.

more than one hundred and fifty families are going to bed tonight with grief in their hearts for someone who has lost their life within the chaotic maelstrom that is mumbai at this point of time.

and witnessing this grief firsthand, i know it's not a pretty sight.

it's tempting to ask why this has to happen, but in the end, it will be like chasing a shadow.

we have all lost someone very precious to us and my heart and soul goes out to everyone else out there who is feeling exactly the same way.

and i also sincerely hope that no one else has to feel this way either.

rest in peace... you will always live on in our hearts...
