life is so unpredictable

Met my junior from MIT today. so now we have three gens 2000,2001,2002 batch mates in the same bldg. Good to catch up with the old times but with that came an unexpected news. PR graduated from UMBC, got a job in Amazon and then went home (pune, india) to visit his family. While exercising, there was an accident where a fixture came out and PR was hurt and went into a coma for 4 days. two bones in his spinal cord are now fractured and near zero obility of his arms and feet. His windpipe is only 2 mm wide as compared to 7 mm for us. Physical therapy has begun and doctors are hopeful that he will regain the ability to control himself. This is from a friend whom i had last seen in a sky-diving photo. My duas go for him, and hope that things are made easier for him and his family.

Life is too short guys. If nothing else I just hope that you realise this point and stay up in these last 10 days for atleast one hour more to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa-Taala to forgive you (while you can), to keep you under His protection at all times, and to be thankful for each breath that he has awarded you.
