a silent tribute...

We are already ex-students of Christ College now and since First Year of college many had left us to pursue studies elswhere or for other reasons. But the person whom I miss the most and who has left us forever is my dear friend Toto. He was probably one of those very few guys with whom I could discuss music, literature and art in-depth and at length without any qualms. I am grateful to him for having introduced me to underground Death metal and Black metal and of course 'Chemical Brothers'.

Today, me along with some of my classmates visited aunty (Toto's mum) and gave her something which was rightfully Toto's- his class sweatshirt. I am sure he would have had some comment to make on the design and how it could have been 'darker'. Its nearly two years now since he left us perplexed and in utter shock in a tragic accident. How can I forget those days in the food-court with him when he used to force me to share his awesome 'cheese-mustard sandwich'?

From 'quantum mechanics' to the philosophy of the 'ghettoes'- he was a great reader and a thinker. Sometimes I guess, such people just dont stay back for some reason. Anyway, here's to you my dear friend..... I miss you man and hope that you are somewhere where you can enjoy your music and your kicks. Love always.......... ANGIRAS TOTO VELLANI- Gone but never forgotten!
