Obituary

Harpreet Singh, just like any other guy living your next door, died last night from complications of loosing his soulmate. He was 24 years old. A soft-spoken and obsessive, Harpreet never looked the part of a hopeless romantic but in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie like pursuit for his long-reputed soulmate, a woman whom he only spent few precious moments with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Monday night in complete and utter failure. Yet, even in certain defeat, the courageous Harpreet secretly clung to the belief that life is not a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather it's a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Mrityunjay Gautam described Harpreet as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clear for him", Mrityunjay noted. Ultimately, Harpreet concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as Destiny.
