"मर्न नै जन्मिए पछि कोइ ढिलो कोइ चाडो हो"
"Come to TNAU, I am here to help you." These are the words that will echo in my ears forever and ever. Shrijana Gaire whom I used to call just gaire(and I know she used to love that) was cheerful and friendly friend of mine.
This morning was a usual morning with no omen of evil anywhere until I turned on my lappie where a heartbreaking news was waiting in my facebook message box. I didn't believe it at first and would like to slap the one who was in mood of on this April fool prank. I wish that was just a prank. Oh God! How on earth can thy be so cruel? Why she? God has no heart. Why gaire? Why?? She is so adorable that cruel God has snatched ours friend from us.
She was bestowed with immense grace, cheers and talent, a very good friend of us in class. She was cool and versatile. Being awarded Nepal-Aid Scholarship 2010, she flew to TamilNadu Agriculture University to pursue higher studies in Soil Science. She was hard-working girl who used to spend hours in her lab work until the unfortunate day when death knocked over her. She breathed her last breathe being strangled in her 'shawl' when the shawl accidently got entangled in the conveyor belt of grinder machine, the police states.
The flashback of fours we spent together at IAAS haunts me every second.
Her cute smile, caring advice, help with class notes and photocopies and many more memories are just memories now. Dances during ceremonies like Saraswati Puja, Swaysthani Puja, Krishna Janmastami are still as fresh as dew. Jokes we shared, tours made together, cups of tea at Mikal Cafe and lot more memories..
Here while in India you were the first one to help me out of many troubles and try to pacify me when I was agitated. You left the trail where I followed and now you are gone in the middle.
You will always remain in my heart and memories.
Gaire you even promised me for a lunch, where will I claim it now?
With all my eyes wet and heart heavy the only thing I can do is praying for yours soul. Rest in Peace in heaven gaire....
GOOD BYE...
It is a horrific incident. I wonder if a seed grinding machine inside a lab would be so powerful. She was such a wonderful girl. May her soul rest in peace and may the almighty give courage to her family at this moment of grief.
ReplyDeleteit was really a horrific and a tragic incident which we can never believe.. I too wonder how big and strong the grinder was that strangled ours friend into death.
DeleteThe university lab should have been more secure and provided with safety precautions.
May the departed rest in peace
