Remembering a friend

Some people dream only.  Others work hard to fulfill that dream.  Yet at times those dreams never come true, not because of lack of effort.  It is the invisible arm we call destiny that takes a person away robbing his or her dream almost as a cruel joke. 

It has been over 33 years since I lost my dear friend Satyesh (Banikya) and the love of his life, Manjuma in a freak accident in the snow-covered road of Ithaca, NY.  They had left behind a gift of their love, a 6-year old daughter – orphaned.  That’s when one wonders if God is love why such things happen.
