It’s a tough day today.  Got into office and heard that a colleague passed away.

He killed himself.

He killed his only child, his daughter before killing himself.

He lost his wife a few years ago to illness.

I feel upset. I did not see this coming. He was always jovial, friendly, and an overall nice person. Heck, he even joined me on a hash run.

But today, he is gone.

Is there anything I could have done? He never seemed moody or reserved. Always smiling, always friendly.

Goodbye Arvind.
