Two losses in my life in the recent past have left me realising the true importance of what life is really about
I recently lost my close friend Sameer Shetty, an entrepreneur and delightful human being full of zest for life, energy, enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. His personality can be summarised in the word brio. As an entrepreneur he was truly an inspiration to me because he made me realize that positive energy and attitude can truly be transformational both in personal relationships as well as within an organization.
The second passing is that of my high school classteacher Mrs Raisingh. She was a tough lady with high expectations of us which we struggled to meet. When we ran short we were punished, sometimes severely and physically. But her love and caring shone through her toughness. And today I appreciate that it is the tough cookie coaches and teachers that push us and make us realize our true potential, when we would otherwise take the easy way out
Rest in peace both of you.
