Just two days ago I was mourning the Death of my senior from College. She was found dead in mysterious circumstances, her apartment door broken, marks on her neck. It shook me!!!
She was a couple of years senior to me, I didn't know her well. Was more off a Hi, Bye relationship and some small talk when we were around each other for an extended period of time. But the news of her death Shook me. Wasn't willing to accept the fact that she had passed away.
A day after that, I had the Apple iPhone Tech Talk, was off to chicago, was an amazing session, APPLE employees and developers all around me. I was surrounded by 300 other Apple Developers, a room packed with 300 people, and each of them with an iPhone??? :D. plus all the free food and cola, juice, coffee, cookies @ Chicago Downtown Marriot.
What troubles me is how we move on. On tuesday, i was feeling low, mourning, didn't go to my class, couldn't sleep at all, mixed emotions, the news and the tech talks the following day and on wednesday morning, i was all excited, looking forward to meet and interact with the tech gurus from Apple.
Not that i wasn't thinking about it or had forgotten, it was all there, i infact got a mail from my aunt(seattle) asking me to be careful, the usual be careful mail. My senior, Arpana was working for EMC in seattle. She was very active, was involved with animal care groups, had a Motor Bike and was last seen at a Halloween party.
I called my aunt yesterday evening after the Apple event, and asked her if the mail she sent had anything to do with this particular mishap (I knew it was). I then told her that she was my senior from college, and then she told me that Arpana(my senior) worked in her neighbor's work group at EMC. Most of the information i have about her is what i got from my aunt.
I was there in Bellevue for two months and i didn't know Arpana was there, i probably wouldn't have met her even if i knew she was there, i just didn't know her that well.
Nothing seems to have a prolonged emotional impact on me anymore, and i don't like it. Life does not give you enough time to Mourn!!!
May her soul rest in peace.
