Darjeeling & NP pay homage to their Loyal Son

The sun was up, the students stood in line, the family and friends were there and the School Colours were out in full form to pay homage to the Loyal Son of North Point. Shasheesh was no more with us but his dedication, loyalty and love for his alma mater and his home town was there for all to see.Fighting the lump in their throats both Fr. Van and Fr. Kinley gave a befitting tribute to the man who had done so much for Darjeeling in such a short time.

Was it just yesterday that I stood there with my dear departed friend in one of the school assemblies trying to figure out more ways in making North Point a better place for everyone. I finally realised that he was no more with us and will never be back. All this while I had fought back the tears but this was too much to handle. I let it out one last time for my friend, my philosopher and my guide. I will miss you my friend, but then.... what a way to go... I would like to be remembered and revered as Shasheesh when I leave this place...
