The thought doesn't leave me that a bright soul ended it's journey so abruptly without a proper goodbye but definitely with lot of things that remained unheard and unsaid What he went through could possibly be never known He had so much potential He was such a genuine soul His sudden departure leaves everyone in shock Disbelief, anger and tears  loom large Did we fail as a society to nurture that soul?
