My dear friend Kiran has moved on from this world. I have not seen anyone do more justice to the phrase “Live fast, die young.” For each word I write here, I am searching for a million more. His spirit of adventure, sense of humour, kind heart and willingness to help total strangers – are impossible to match.
He still makes me laugh – when I think about the time we were put up at some total stranger’s place for the night he raided the refrigerator like he owned it. He didn’t even spare the grape juice concentrate! I remember how he psyched people by moving his temporary dentures with his tongue. I remember the afro wig he carried in his car and used on demand. I remember how he replied to my inquisitive neighbour, a Telugu speaking person, totally in Kannada with some funny suffixes to make it sound like Telugu. He’d have pulled it off too, if not for me splitting my sides.
He is in a better place now, touching lives there. He would not want you to cry…he would not let you. All I pray for today is to make more of his kind. May his soul rest in peace.

I will miss him too even though I met him just once. Just wish I got to know him better. May his soul rest in peace
I am sorry to hear this. Do I know him? Z
He was my best buddy for the past 11 years. I will miss him terribly.
@ Z
You do know him. He had come from Penn State for my birthday, remember? He made Palak Paneer and Chicken Biriyani? You helped him in the kitchen too. :(
Oh. What happened? Z
Hi I am from St. Marys and met Kiran about 2 months ago. I will cherish every moment that I spent with him. It was a true joy getting to know him. He had this love for life that was just intoxicating. He had the ability to make people laugh and smile no matter what-which is truly a gift. I had never met anyone like him. I miss him dearly.
Thank you all for your kind words.
@ Z: Car crash.
I've never met him..never even heard of him until today but oddly I feel so profoundly sad. I'll keep all of his family and friends in my thoughts.
Sorry about your loss..may his soul rest in peace
I'm sorry, M3.
@MC,SW,Shruti: Thank you.
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
Hello M3
Bumped into this blogspot that spoke so aptly about on my best friends whom I miss everyday. Could you please let me know more about yourself too as I am wondering if you knew him for over 11 years, I am sure we both have crossed paths!
