Obituary of Sreelakshmi


"Never get married to a fan of yours,because you will never know when you go wrong."-Harsha Bhogle to Rahul Dravid.







Passed away on 28th January 2017.


“I never had Sreelakshmi's phone no. you know why,I never required it.I felt she was always in me.I never felt that she was somebody else.” 

“Do you require a phone to talk to your own self?”


I never had a photo of Sreelakshmi because I never felt the need to. She was always with me 24/7,365 days a year.”


I have never meet her either,but then how do you meet your own self.”

Sreelakshmi was my ideal, my own self, my own reflection not a different entity or person.”


Over a period of time,you start having a receeding hairline,hair starts becoming whiter ,winds start blowing in different direction,river changes its coursebut the true self remains the same.
