This week I lost one of my friends Simranjeet Singh; a very jovial person, sincere and kind by heart. I met Simran for the first time on June 21st - the date I moved to Ludhiana although I had interacted him several times in past few months mainly on official front. I was caught unaware when our Chief Marketing Executive called me up on 22nd enquiring about Simran's wellbeing. Next moment I was praying to God to keep him hale and hearty but got shocked when I reached hospital only to know that Simran had left all of us. A good friend and a very strong person,Simran, always made a person think why we cant take on challenges and win them over. Simran had fallen down the steps only to get hurt on his head. A great person and an acclaimed Punjabi lyricist,Simran has left a big void in hearts that can never be filled. I pray to God to rest the departed soul in peace and give his family courage to bear this unbearable loss.
