#thapkipyaarki team...
The guy inside this, our Irfan, is no more.
He was unwell from a long time.
I kept on asking him for his reports to try to understand what the basic issue was that was creating all his health problems since the last 2 years but... Gulab Dada told me of his being in hospital and on a bad state some days ago and then his weak body contracted corona. Today news from Susu, Irfan is no more
Damn it. This is the second, lovely, hard working, talanted, person I am losing in this manner
I am no medicine person but if we get to the correct doctor at the correct time for correct diagnosis we can save a life...thats what I believe

I feel like shit right now
