He was a highly intelligent individual apart from being an outstanding sportsman. I do not know whether there is a life beyond this.
“Hikayat-e-hasti sunee to darmiyaan se sunee
Na ibtida ki khabar hai na intahaa maloom”.
(What I have heard of the story of life is only about the middle
I know not its beginning; I know not its end).

What we do know, however, is that life can be meaningful if our priorities are largely, accurate. Also, the world is a beautiful place to live in if man has the ability to partake of nature’s innocent perfection. And in the understanding of finality, the interchangeability and the absurdity of situations.
Himmat was a large-hearted and generous individual. He was careful of another’s sensitivities. Also he was aristocratic in the natural reflex. He has gone far too early. Nonetheless, he has left behind the memory of how a good individual can interact with his fellow-beings.
My heart grieves at the memory of my departed friend, who just the other day, was sitting with me in my house in Delhi and sharing the wonderful experiences of his life. I pray for peace to the departed soul and express my heart-felt condolences to his family and the many many friends, he has left behind.

Yours,
in Grief,

Shocked at hearing of Himmat’s passing.
He was a good friend.Fun loving and helpfull and introduced me to his brother at BA when I was job searching post graduation.
I remember music was his passion even at school.Later on many an occasion enjoyed his performances.
May God bless his soul and give to his family and to Gobbey strength.
