passed away on May 27th at around 5.30 pm. He got drowned in the Okracoke Island waters and the Doctors mentioned that he died on the spot. We found his body on the shore on Mon at around 5.30 pm. I don't know why he liked this Island so much out of all in the Outerbanks, I don't know if he liked the sea or the sea liked him....
I mentioned his name twice in the blogs-when I blogged two protein dishes for him. He was a person with optimistic view on life and enjoyed his life to the fullest. He was even planning his wedding in December. This was heart breaking news to me and to my all other friends. He is still on his way to India and hopefully reach in a couple of hours for the final ceremory.
He was the person behind my wedding (he made my husband's parents agree to the wedding) and I was getting ready to go to India for his wedding. He always lifted everyone when they were down, he is kind of a perfect friend anybody would like to have. He is a kind of a person who brings the best in you. And now he is gone......
I plan to take off for another week from blogging and I know he will not like it if I stop writing. There is no such friend like him in this world and I hope his soul rests in peace.
this must be heartbreaking. please accept my condolences, lata.

Dear Lata, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. it so heartbreaking. though we know our bloggers only through internet and who are miles away I dont understand why it hurts when something happens to somebody we dont even know. please accept my condolences.
ReplyDeleteHi lata,
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I am visiting in one day. I don't know what to say to u. It's very sad to loose a friend and a son in the family. I know how u are feeling, I lost my niece too at 3yrs of age. I felt my mind just went in to blank and so many unanswered questions. In the end thought one day
our time will come too. It has taught me, life is so precious enjoy every moment just like Ravi.
with hugs

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your loss, as well as surely, his family's and fiancée's. I wouldn't have been able to pull myself together to write such a touching post if someone this close to me passed on as suddenly...
ReplyDeleteThis is very impractical news, but every thing is not in our hand. My heartfelt condolences. Take Care,Lata.
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace and hope god gives a lot of strength to his family and friends
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this is still a monitored blog but I figured I throw this out there. I acquired a piece of fitness equipment that appears to be a memorial. Has a placard "In Loving Memory Ravi Kiran" for 2007. This could be a long shot but if someone donated in Ravi's memory and wants the placard back, I'll mail it to them.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome , his family would appreciate it .Will let them know
