All individuals share one basic characteristic- a characteristic best descibed by a famous episode
from the Mahabharta, when Yudhishtra says, "The most amazing truth in the world is that every individual witnesses death
all around but yet belives that it will never happen to him!"
Obviously one can not reflect after he dies, but my younger brother's death, I feel, is in no
way less traumatic an experience for me. He was, and will always be, an integral part of my being. I grew up with him,
shared my joys, sorrows and fears with him, fought with him and then loved him fondly. As I reflect about Ajay Nandal today,
when he can no longer listen to me, I have to say, I am and shall always be proud to be his elder brother.
There is no limit to the extent we can go to mourn this blessed young boy, but this website
is not to mourn but to remember and cherish his memories. Thus, this request goes out to all friends and relatives of Ajay,
to send in all that you remember or shared with him. Recount your experiences, share your thoughts, and I shall post it all
here on this website and we can remember our beloved Ajay.
