When? Where? Bothered him but little A child whose laughter would ripple through everything Nascent butterflies flew from within him Glimpses to lost souls a way of life Cruel though his fate He never gave up, gave in Up he would rise each time Kaleidoscopic though short his sojourn For my dear friend, drinking buddy, a kindred soul... So he came beaming a thousand smiles
On fleeting memories he rode
Never a frown on his crown
Amid the living dead he descended
Moments caressing his frail faint hands

Why? When? Where? Bothered him but little
A child whose laughter would ripple through everything
Nascent butterflies flew from within him
Glimpses to lost souls a way of life
Cruel though his fate
He never gave up, gave in
Up he would rise each time
Kaleidoscopic though short his sojourn

For my dear friend, drinking buddy, a kindred soul…

The first time I seriously talked to tsip he was sitting on a bench in the clocktower, and I was walking by. I said hello, and was just going to pass by, but his happy, carefree presence on the bench, compelled me to sit down with him and share a cigarette. He told me he had just quit his job. Happily quit. No self-pity, no complaints. He had just walked out of the office, and found his way to the clocktower. He was going to paint. I remember thinking that tsip was one of the only people I knew who took full responsibility for their own happiness. He didn't wait for things to be better. He made things better. The first time I had drunken talk with tsip he told me about his older sister, who he secretly admired beyond words. He wanted her to pursue her passion for music, and felt deeply sorry that she felt obliged to join an office job. He wished he had her talent, for then he would take it as far as he could. The first time I saw that tsip was painting pink (tsip and pink?) blossoms in VAST I knew he was happy. And like he always did, he was sharing his happiness with all. Bold and confident in his happiness. Thank you tsip for letting me see these small glimpses into your beautiful soul. I know you will live in the hearts of many.

I think Tsip's soul would have been very proud of us on that day too...for all of us were there for him till the end. I thank VAST for bringing us all together and giving us this opportunity to live a life of an Artist. I would like to quote what Asha has said: "as long as we don’t give up tsip lives in us!! be proud that we are part of him lets work harder, be kinder, more humble and lets our artwork justify our existence!" We the members of VAST and all the art lovers have to take the art to the next level. We are the chosen ones. We have already done the hard part...now its time to show what we are and who we are. If we do that Tsip will live with us forever. Today I take this opportunity not to be sad but to be proud of VAST for making a difference in our lives especially for Tsip who had such high regard of VAST...to be proud of Karma for completing Tsips life...and...to be proud of Tsip for touching our lives... Dear Tsip, you will always be remembered, your laughter will be with us forever...take care and begin the new journey of life as a great artist!
