Exactly one week ago, friend and IIMA batchmate Ved Prakash Arya passed away. He was just 42.



Hundreds of friends, co-workers and former colleagues attended the condolence meeting held on a hellishly rainy Saturday.



Unable to find any words to comfort the family.



Or any rational explanation for the bizarre manner in which he met his end.



Read my tribute to Ved Prakash Arya - entrepreneur, outstanding professional, and above all, a good human being: An Unfinished Life. (published by Businwssworld magazine).



May his soul rest in peace.



And may we all remember that life is short and fragile.



Think about what you *really* want and make it happen today. Instead of just making plans and promises... for tomorrow.
