Welcome!

This blog of mine: "Circus of Life" is a sharing of my observations, feelings,views and perspective of life, after having suddenly lost a young son. It began with this life changing moment and has been cathartic for me, ever since. If you happen to have stumbled by, I hope you find my journey of some relevance!

Gone Too Soon

Thank you to Carlton Braganza for singing at the Carlton Towers memorial.Couldn't be a better expression of our feelings for Akhil now:

Gone Too Soon

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon


Thanks also to Michael Jackson for a great rendition!

  1. Dear Nithya,

    Flipping through my prized collections, I came across this prayer that my daughters had once given me.
    Today, we dedicate it to you.

    We said a prayer for you today
    And know God must have heard,
    We felt the answer in our hearts
    Although He spoke no word.

    We didn't ask for wealth nor fame
    We know you wouldn't mind,
    We asked Him to send treasures
    Of a far more lasting kind.

    We asked that He'd be near you
    At the start of each new day,
    To grant you health and blessings
    And friends to share your way.

    We asked for happiness for you
    In all things great and small,
    But it was for His loving care
    We asked for most of all.

    Neha, Nikita & Kala Kudva
