Still cant believe itBy: Baljeet Dhaliwal | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 23:53:46 PM Reply | Forward I had a very brief stint with him at various nooks of life. I still cant believe the news and cant take him out of my thoughts since I heard of it. Its been around 4 days.

Hope they find strength to cope up with this irreparable loss.
