Remembering

When God will do what HE has planned to do, then why Pray? Some incidents makes you ponder on so many things, which you might not have done in normal circumstances.

Whatever happened today is tragic and never thought one life would come to an abrupt end just like that.

Its not easy to forget you. You were a great person and a wonderful singer. Your voice will be remembered forever. I would never forget your singing during every occasion especially my marriage.

Lots of complaints with YOU - God, but as always, helpless and no questions answered. I just know that he deserved some more time with his family, with us. But YOU are the ultimate power.

Please give us the strength to cope up with this tragedy and hope your soul rest in peace (fufaji).
