In the memory of my friend, Anusha

It was almost 8 in the evening when I received a call from my friend- Benoy- my classmate of St.marys' HSS during my plus two course.. I never expected a call.. So I was so happy to hear his voice after many months.. But The thing is,he called 2 tell a sad news..

"U remember Anusha" ,he asked me ,"She passed away"..He continues with a sigh..I was dumb-stuck.. He continued talking..I dint know what to ask him.. I asked him about how it happened ..She was admitted in a hospital some days before and today (15 December 2008) afternoon,she died.. It was a moment 0f sadness for me.. I would not be able to see her again , and the worst ,i wont be able to attend the funeral due to my examz..

It was just 2 months before ,when I heard she was getting married.. That too was a shock for me, because she was just 21..or 20.. My friend Adhub told me about this.. I could not go for that also.. And last but not the least,When I called my friend Lekshmi to tell about this, She told me that Anusha's elder brother also died due to some disease.

I can remmeber days at school when she used to come to classes.. She was a very good person with a very pretty face and a warm smile to greet everyone in the class.. She was an average student and was fair with everyone she talked..

When I was in the hospital due to a surgery, I came to know from my cousin - Meera- Who was in my same class that Anusha was sick and was admited in a hospital. I dint know what happend at that time.. After my two months rest,When I came to school also, I dint find her there.. But after some days ,she came to clas..From her friends ,I came to know that she was suffering from some skin disease and was in the hospital for long time.. From that time,she was taking leave from school frequently.. I dint know the reason clearly than that she was having some skin disease.. She used to cover her head with a cloth that normal muslims use to cover theirs..So we were unable to know the intensity of her disease..

And after school ,I never heard about her or met her - until recently , when Adhub told about her marriage..And now her death!! It was really shocking for me to know about her death...So death is coming nearer.. I recognise that death will come sooner as we grow older..

Now ,its really time to think of life seriously and work it out and do and achieve somethin and leave something good for the future generation to rememeber me..

Though i couldnt see her or attend her funeral ceremonies, I am giving her a bunch of flowers for ever in rememberance..and will always keep it with this for her..
