my obituary

prateek was born on the 14th of December 1975. he died at age 59. he was married 26 years. his wife and two daughters were his world for him. he worked hard to make all their dreams come true. with his wife he built a home, a home where the doors were always open. a home where happiness lived. a home where the warmth and love would make you wish you didnt have to leave. a home which was a true place of rest.

he travelled all over the world with his family and even did a drive from bangalore to the alps in europe. he smiled every day of his life, in the good times and in the bad. he gave of his time and his money, he gave to people without thinking of whether they deserved it or not.

his life was a blessing to people around him. thought before action, love before hate, slow to anger, lending a helping hand, giving a shoulder to cry on, listening, loving.....these were things that came naturally to him.

all his life he worked towards perfection. each day he lived as if it was his last. he always hoped that one day the world would be a better place, he believed the change should come from within.

he found good in every human. the bad was just ignored. his explanation was that if you focused on the good then it would take over the entire being. he could read a mans thoughts through his face and know just what to say.

he was true to himself and knew his priorities. he could handle every situation that life threw at him. he died a great man....a honest man.....
