I can only comfort you by hoping that healing will soon set in and we can prepare ourselves to meet Arun and others who've lost once again.PrlJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455394557125888369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986461699487173582.post-56919208596924299042009-11-13T13:40:55.277-08:002009-11-13T13:40:55.277-08:00Thanks Pearly for filling in the missing piece of ...Thanks Pearly for filling in the missing piece of information on his life. You are probably the only connection from his life in India to life in China. I am his cousin sister (Maya). Nobody among his family and friends can make sense of how it can all turn out to be like this. Wish we could just turn back time and do lot of things differently. He was the little brother who would perk up my spirits with his goof ball questions and thoughts. The topics one could talk to him I cannot imagine that conversation with anybody else. Always the smiling cheerful guy with that naughty twinkle when he comes up with some funky ideas... its cruel how fate plans out things.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979140434649668716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986461699487173582.post-39828861593178198692009-11-13T00:49:04.088-08:002009-11-13T00:49:04.088-08:00I am Arun's uncle.

This post from you has helped us in understanding the sequence of events leading to his death. We were particularly flummoxeded by the fact that he called his parents and said that he had a fall and was returning home after seeing the doctor. This along with the non-confirmation of his death for almost a day and the delay in retrieving his body had us confused and not to say the least frustrated.<br />You have described Arun perfectly - headstrong, slightly eccentric with a thousand and one ideas, and the ability to talk on any subject on earth with conviction and confidence. His ready wit is also well known.<br />We expected him to get over his China obsession after a few months or a couple of years. Little did we know that his obsession was leading him to his death. Many of us did try to get him to come home and we used tactics such as ridiculing him but he was headstrong. He was always an odd character and different from the rest of us.<br />Right now we are trying to get his body home so that there is a sense of closure, though Arun will always remain in our hearts and minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986461699487173582.post-81171574903703097842009-11-12T23:43:17.087-08:002009-11-12T23:43:17.087-08:00Thanks Pearly for these details.
