The enduring image.

Sarabjit Singh has passed away.

The television grab showing his distraught sister lashing out at the Pakis and highlighting the errors on our side had tugged at something deep within - the enduring image of the day! She was surrounded by a huge crowd but looked lonely in her grief. His devastated wife, Sukhpreet Kaur and his daughters, Swapandeep and Poonam wore a dignified look despite their tragedy.

We've collectively let you down. Grieving with you.

RIP, Sarabjit! May god give your family the strength to tide over their difficult times.


Tailpiece.

Caught up with Sanjay and Parul after a long while. We'd spent the evening, exchanging yarns, at the Sahib, Sindh, Sultan - a nice eating joint which derives its name from the three locomotives that had hauled India's first passenger train from Bori Bunder to Thane on the 16th of Apr 1853, to cover a distance of 34 kms! The eatery is located at the Ambience mall of Gurgaon. The overall effect was as though we're having our food on a train journey!! A great idea!!!

It was late by the time I'd hit the sack. Had a double check regarding wake up time as I've an early morning flight to catch.
