I looked at the profile picture of an old friend of mine from Delhi some time ago. I'd sent her friend request 2 yrs back. She accepted only recently. She looked odd. Her head bald, in wheelchair, her hubby by her side.

Something seemed to be dreadfully wrong. Suddenly one day, I saw her sister's post saying that she'd gone to be with the lord. What? I couldn't understand. She had terminal cancer. She was so strong in her last days. She'd always been such a strong character in every adversity she faced.

What struck me most was her profile photo. No woman would ever put a bald snap of hers on face book. Amazing woman indeed!

Hats off to you, Vineeta.
I'm sure you're so happy there walking on golden streets, in your new body.
Thank you for inspiring all of us while on earth.
For that unfading, steady smile you always had on.
Teaching us no matter what, life must still go on.
Full of grit and a ready grin.

Impossible to forget you, Vineeta!
