Rahul was a lovely and great student. His body language in class was perfect: attentive, smiling (as on the picture), asking a question from time to time, but present!
I also saw him one evening late at the Rosewood Hotel: he told me that he had just finished working on his paper, and seemed very pleased! Told him to go to bed, that it was late and that we all need rest (i was reflecting that this was also true for me ...).
My thoughts go to Menka and children: your husband was delightful - and i can only attest that i hope that Vivaan and Vanya will follow in his tracks, inspired by his example! That life is unfair, that we are dealt cards, and that many we do not deserve. That this is most unfair, that the best was yet to come, and that we are all with you in these.
This, of course, applies to Rahul's fellow classmates as well, who surely miss him enormously as well!
We can only continue, inspired by Rahul, going forward by what he would like us to do. That the more we do, the more he lives in us and around us, the more we continue to make him live, here on this earth.
And that this is what he likes and what he looks for, from above: Rahul is looking at us, in all his perfection, in the skies -and that if we look up, we might see a glimpse of him!
But that on earth, it is for us to keep him alive!
And on that front, when I look at this beautiful picture, he is there, in front of me, perfect, and that will continue to inspire me.
Hope it gives strength to his wife and children, to his fellow students.
Let us be carried by Rahul - so that he does not fade away, but remains in each of us he touched and continue to touch.
Ludo VdH, his last teacher I believe (here on earth, since now he is with the GREAT TEACHER in the sky)
