Yesterday, 10.10.10 was Akhil's 24th birthday.Something he looked forward to and had spoken to us about.Guess, because this date would come once in a while and it made it special for him.
We felt, we should 'celebrate' his birthday, much like he would have done. So, we had a bunch of his school and college friends over.They remembered, the strange things they did together, the pranks they played and in a way expressed, in their own way, their happy moments together. I also felt, each of them wanted us to smile and be happy this day!
Nithya and me actually spoke, after they left and wondered, if we as 20year olds, actually were so compassionate and caring as these kids showed us.To take time off, on a Sunday and bring cheer to our home was truly admirable.
Another young friend whom we now, have the privilege to meet,has written a beautiful piece.

Thank you all for making us feel, he was around and bringing us cheer!
If any of you do remember Akhil, in any way on this special day, do leave a comment.
