Try to recall 1 face/ person whose face you can recall to be ever-smiling and humble?
That, Shukar AlHamdOLillah, is quite a few faces for me.
Add to that, a person who never swears, is calm, collected, sharp, has a good head on his shoulders, focussed, never raises his voice. And above everything else: respects all and sundry, especially the person he is committed to.
That's when the tears roll down.
The world just lost one such 28-year old very handsome, polite and wonderful gentleman, named Mr. Asfandyar Siddiqui, on 23rd December 2012 to a very tragic accident. He was the kind of guy one really could not imagine existed, but he did.
All those things I just mentioned were observations from nuances. I barely knew him. He was a colleague like everyone else I have worked with for 10 years, but he was among the few with whom one could never have a raised temper or feel a need to argue. He knew his stuff, and his demeanour such could imagine him as the head of investment banking at least, within the next ten years. Of the few conversations I'd had with him, it was always about anything random, and him possessing knowledge of.
He was inspiring even if from a distance. Whats amazing is people much younger than me are inspiring to me.
There are no words to say on his passing away. Prayers for the dearly departed and the bereaved, especially his fiance whose life has a void uncomparable.
But as my earlier post on Valentine's (i lost my khala 4 hours after the day ended,) I am once again reminded, what it means to have a positive and lasting impression on the world.
For me, each memory of him is a smiling bright face. "pyara" <- that is how I can sum him up. Admirable from a distance. Cannot imagine what he must be to those close to him.
Once again a request: say what one must to anyone in the world, hopefully positive. Negativity only hurts us.
And please keep praying for the dearly departed.
