Friends,
Pls forgive me for not posting for a long long time..... I have been guilty as charged...Prcrastination has been my weakness..........But today I write to you to share my sadness.
Today We lost a dear friend at work to a road accident.
He was traveling on Mumbai-Pune Express Highway when one of his tyre burst and his car ran into opposite lane where a truck crashed into his car. :-( ..Death on Spot
We worked together on numerous projects for a large ISP. Countless, that now i close my eyes his face and our work flashes across.
We shared room together on one of the offsite functions. How much fun that was
The shock has still to sink in.
I am sad to the core. Tears aren't stopping.... I am quiet and sad
He (intentionally not naming him) recently switched job to a higher paying and better profile work at IBM !
He recently bought a Honda Accord
He recently bought a new house in Thane with a large home loan.
He was yet to be married.
He was the only son who had to take care of an ailing mom and yet to be married sister
Who will take care of his debts, home ? family ?
The thought is leaving me terrified...
Will his house be mortgaged ?
How much will his company pay for his death to his family ( twice the CTC) ??
Will that be enough to pay the mortgage ?
The loss has definitely left a mark on the way I now look towards life (insurance)
Will revise my status on debts and work towards reconciliation.
But today....I pray for his family's well being. God rest his soul in peace.
Shattered and Speechless....
Koi Kaise Bataye Tanha hum kyon hai ! :-(

howz the family now? what car was he driving? how old is the car? how many kilometers had it done?
@Sunny: Thanks for showing your concern.
The Car was a second hand Honda Accord.
I dont know how many kms it did.
The family is better off now, since his life insurance covered for his Hugh Home Loan.
Also the company that he worked for paid out accidental insurance (2x CTC) to his family.
So financially they have their own house and some cash to sustain for few more years.
But they are now worried about marrying his younger sister. That is now his parents top priority.
