Ever since the violence in Mumbai started, I've been wary of checking email. Checking the news. Reading news articles. I actually turned off the television.
And today, from a phone call from India, I get the first communication. A school senior Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan died fighting the terrorists in Mumbai.
I heard a great many things from my classmate in the NDA, of Sandeep and his generosity. A FAPS lifer like me, over the 13 years that we were together at school, it was inevitable that we'd run into each other. I remember him as a D'Mello house captain. I remember him as a senior who broke and held the long jump record. I remember him as someone who ever so gently went through life. My heart goes out to his parents and family.
