Goodbye M - See you on the other side!

"The most painful GoodByes are those that are never said and never explained"



I am tired of GoodByes...especially Good Byes, where there is really no Good Bye...one day you are laughing, dancing and talking and the next week you hear this person is no more...

          She was a girl-woman, 
          Had an air of vulnerability,
Seemed brilliant in a nerdy sort of a way (Cal-tech graduate working at Oracle) 
Painfully Young (she had just turned 21) 
A smile that covered her entire face and made it shine, 
She wore the cutest cut-up t-shirts that she watched You-Tube to make, 
She was a constant in the BollyX class, 
And confessed to liking old tamil songs and bhangra...  
While we are still in shock,   
I am sure her parents are looking for closure.  
There are so many questions unanswered, 
All I can wish for her is - that she keeps smiling & dancing where ever she is 
 We will dance in her memory on September 1st in the BollyX class on Saturday. Shruthi and the Oracle BollyX community shared some sweet memories with this gorgeous girl. We want to say good bye to her in a style she loved and adored : with bollywood dance and music. Please do come if you knew her or just want to say a Good Bye together. Shruthi (our BollyX instructor) shared this on a text with me and I think it's a good reminder to all of us

  3. This is truly shocking! I haven't seen her but can understand the pain her family is going through. May her soul RIP. May god give her family the strength to withstand the loss. Life is VERY SHORT!
