Been busy with exams, and work on the latest project which we're submitting for this year's Google Product Prodigy. But this post is not about that.
This post is about the tragic passing of my friend, Ishan Goel, who passed away a few days back. He was just 20. He was a colleague in the Sun Ambassador programme, i.e. he was my colleague at the Sun Open Source club we were founding here at college, and worked very hard with me in making the Software Freedom Day (September 2008) a success, and also a member of our last year's Google Product Prodigy team (which I covered in great detail in a series of blog posts previously), which we worked for close to 6 months together. A brilliant and immensely creative fellow, and a "Linux Helpline". This is not an obituary, or any formal note of sort. It's just hard to absorb this. My hand still tries to dail his number whenever a problem with my Linux system occurs.
