Great dude to get to know. Had fun hanging with him at Meha’s place in Philly and their joint sibling pad in New York. Shekhar seemed to have a laid back spirit – generous, helpful, charismatic. I remember joking around when we helped Meha move one time in Philly. And another time when rishilantern, Shekhar and I had a deep conversation about politics and life in New York.

So this was when Shekhar bahai came to visit us in our old home, which was a flat in Ancaster way, he must have been 15-16 at the time. He was kind enough to lend me his Gameboy to play his spider man game on. Me being me, I somehow managed to delete his saved game. On hearing about this from Tauji he was absolutely horrified, I’m talking about being shattered to his core. But on seeing me walk into the room, he assumed an immediate calm and in a sudden change of mood, happily accepted my unconditional apology. So even though he must have been horrified internally at what had happened, he didn’t want to make me upset. And I think that said a lot about how caring he was. 🙂
