2006 hasn’t been a good year for me yet. First, I lost my mom unexpectedly on 30th January, and then on 11th March, an old college friend Vikas Sharma (Mickey) died of bone cancer. Vikas was only 29 and has a wife and two-year old son. We weren’t in constant touch in the last 2-3 years but he still was a very dear friend. May his souls rest in peace.
