Oh god it's a real shock. But how come it is possible? I pray and express my deep condolence to her husband, parents & family. She was not just a engineer but a role model to students like me. Let her sole rest with peace in heaven.

ReplyDeleteOur Dearest Bahini Gayatri,
ReplyDeleteWe miss you all the time. How the God could be so cruel to snatch you away from us. You were the soul and heart of our life. Each day never passes by without shedding drops of tears and each passing day makes the wound deeper and deeper. How could you leave us so shattered and devastated. Bahini, we miss you and we pray to God to give us another life where we can be together for a longer time and I could be able to take care of you forever. Bahini, I miss you a lot. Come to my dreams and guide me. Please make your friends and well wishers come forward to make your dream project at East Main Road, Kalimpong come true.
