Read on Twitter
Now I don& #39;t normally make threads on Twitter for I know I have nothing that should be added to all your brains collectively. It& #39;s too much noise here anyway. But today I do have something to say. And I hope you all listen.
Just a few hours back I learnt that a fellow school-mate has died. The word around through his friends is that he committed suicide. I saw his photo and immediately recognised him from a batch just senior to us. You know how you go to the same place for twelve years and there are
a bunch of people you just know but never talked to. You see them in corridors, washrooms, grounds and during lunch breaks. You see them almost everyday, but you never talk to them. Doesn& #39;t matter why, there are just too many students in a school.
He died of suicide. I don& #39;t know what went wrong. I don& #39;t know what he thought of in his head. Absolutely no one is allowed to discuss on that. No one can really be in someone& #39;s place. Straight facts.
(Don& #39;t be naive and blame the people around him, just in case)

The point I am trying to make here is that I remember him. My friends remember him. I remember which section he was in, which & #39;group& #39; he belonged to, what other people I saw with him. It has been four years since I last saw him and I remember him well enough.
I& #39;m pretty sure he wouldn& #39;t know that. Just like I don& #39;t expect people I remember to remember me. Just through school, at least 500 people remember your face. No matter you are 17 or 22 or 45, you are in the memory of thousands.
For some reason when I saw his photo today, I got a good positive vibe. Nostalgia almost. I recollect him smiling more often than not. Pictures are very hazy in my head, the vibes in my heart are not.
We have lived long enough lives to forget the sheer amount of people we pass through. No life is just one life. In the days to come, thousands will try to recollect their half-faded memories with him. Thousands more will learn of him.
This isn& #39;t supposed to make anyone feel less lonely. We are all alone anyway. Just that remember that your life has been larger than you think it has been. It is not a timeline, and your presence or absence matters. *Your life& #39;s reach is beyond your comprehension.*
May he rest in peace. I hope his family takes care. What an absolute loss, which is heartbreaking on so many levels.
This thread isn& #39;t for discussion. I just thought this needed to be said. Take care everyone.
