It is really hard to digest the demise of your colleague. Even harder, if the guy had been your roomie for days.
Al, I used to call him. Dear Alphonse.... as sweet as the ALPHONSO breed of mangoes.
A genuinely good guy, cheerful lad, shocked us by leaving for once and all.
Never ever Aalok will call me early in the morning at 7'O clock, but today was a real bad day, I would prefer saying a black Tuesday.

May God Shower his choicest blessings on the parents of Alphonse.

I dedicate this blog to my dear dude AL.
