Shahid bhai died in Australia while undergoing treatment on March 19 of this year. Many saw it coming as he had been suffering from cancer for a long time. But just because it was a matter of time doesn't make it easier to accept. His death sits heavily in many hearts. He was our senior by two years and close at several levels.
