Its so sad to hear the news of his early demise.

May Allah rests his soul in eternal peace.

Life itself is so uncertain and death is so sure that we hardly talk about death. This is the real irony.

At this moment I want to share the words spoken by Noble Laureate Nadine Godimer in an interview conducted in the early 1980's.

She said" When I got to university,it was through mixing with other people who were writing or painting that I got to know black people as equals. In a general and inclusive, non-racial way I met people who lived in the world of ideas, in the world that interested me passionately.
In the town where I lived, there was no mental food of this kind at all. I am often amazed to think how they live, those people and what an oppressed life it must be,
because human beings must live in the world of ideas. This dimension in the human psyche is very important. It was there, but they didn't know how to express it. Conversation consisted of trivialities. For women household matters, problems with children. The men would talk about golf,or business or house racing or whatever their practical interests were. Nobody ever talked about or even around, the big things_LIFE & DEATH".
