"Gone - flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart."
~Alfred Tennyson

I'm writing this article as a tribute to an ePlayer who has served for eIndia for years, Ashwamedh , A patriot for the land, A mentor for hundreds, A friend to everyone.

I remember the time I met you on IRC, I had heard so much about you was in fact waiting for a chance to see you eventually I did meet you, Fellow fighter in AHF, though our beginning meetings were for dispatch and did never talk much, The first general talk I had with you was about Marriage and the ill society towards women over a small article that I had written in the past, I enjoyed our conversation which eventually we agreed that women are still treated as a burden to the society, That was nearly two years ago! Far back in the past, You probably won't even remember all that I have said to you, You patiently listened to all my idiotic lectures of shopping and style!

When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

You were the ray of hope to all of eIndia, your endless effort and dedication to the baby boom project, If it wasn't for you we would never have had a Retention Team nor we could see eIndia as it prospers today, When ever the darkness came by, you came across with a candle, leading the way, Filling everyone with hope fighting for the righteous cause, I still remember you encouraging me and Asmita to go for the CP elections!! We both have been CP for eIndia inspired from you (I hope I speak of her too!), When everyone was gloomy in the chat room, your name would stir up a wave of happiness, Oldies, newbies just wanting to talk to you, You were a damn celebrity in eIndia and you will be!

With your odd nicknames to avoid many fan's, we talked for hours, trekking, origin of your nicknames, your daughter, your game Industry 😘

You were the best of a friend that anyone could have had!! Here's a little Irish blessing for you!

"May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire."

Goodbye! have a wonderful life!!

Regards
