A posthumous book release..
Sometimes its very unfortunate that people die at a very young age, barely at a time when they are about to step out and see the real world.. We dont have words to console ourselves.. We can only blame on fate for playin such a sadistic role..
A common sayin is.. Life must be filled with perfect moments so as to enjoy life.. But the real fact is that those perfect moments come only because the perfect person is behind it.. Once they pass away, we are left only with memories to cherish and not the person behind it.. A void is created a forever..
I came across one such moment recently.. I generally dont turn up much at obsequies.. When we see their faces at deathbed all the good memories we have abt them seem to vanish into thin air.. It takes a lot of time to come out of it..
One of my friend, Vinoth, died of cancer a few months back.. I have seen him only a couple of times.. But now i feel i m eternally connected to him after his unfortunate death.. A man's last wish is somethin that is considered to be sacred.. Its one of our last frantic efforts to make their presence felt in this world..
Vinoth's long time wish was to publish a tamil poem book, which he had christened it "அமுக்குணி" (Amukuni) .. He has been writin for it ever since school got over.. His savings were carefully maintained by him for the big day.. Havin placed in infy, he graduated out of college and was waitin for the day for his job to start.. But God had other plans for him and his life came to an abrupt end.. His parents were left stranded..
His parents and friends worked to bring the book to life.. His pennings were compiled and suitable drawings were drawn and the compilation was ready.. I designed the wrappers for the book and its first of a kind for me.. All time when i was designin i was hoping that if Vinoth had been alive he wood be satisfied with wat i m doing.. U need to be extremely careful when you are playin a part in someone's dream, isnt it??..
After many hiccups the book got released on Sunday, 12 April 2009.. It was a lacrimonious event with a somber feelin all thro.. Though the guests tried to bring the mood shift it never happened.. But it was a day to be cherished and celebrated.. People who were with Vinoth must be proud about him.. His writings were too good and we wood certainly miss a good poet..
One of his favorite wishes has come to life.. What abt the unknown wishes which had never surfaced???..
