"Who will I whine to now? Who will call me and say block your dates at my very lowest?? Who will stand at the table and feed me till I can eat no more… Who will discuss cinema with a passion that only you had… WHO will send me emotional messages at 11 pm and tell me it’s all good and that we will create history again soon! Gups, not fair… not fair at all...

RIP my brother … I’m sure you are spreading the cheer where you are already," he added.

For doing favours on me that no one still knows off and i promise to tell them of your big hearted decisions that you made when I needed something to hold on to before letting go and you changed my life for the better without even trying to do it, that’s the trait that makes you the best person, guru, friend, director and the more important positions of a husband and an amazing father. Love you Gups !"
