I just saw this message on RMIM and was hoping it was not the same
Iqbal saab but your post confirmed my worst fears.

I am really at a loss of words. Like you I too feel guilty that I
could not respond to him as often and in as much enthusiasm that he
used to write to me. He was so positive, bright and encouraging. He
had written such a sweet testimonial for me on orkut which had
embarrased me initially for it's exuberance. But he was such a
positive person that I did not have the heart to take it off. He was
also writing a script for a program on SD Burman for a TV Program. He
wasooo full of life.

I still cannot believe Iqbal Saab will never come again. This is a big
big loss. I really can't think straight but we should get our
condolences to his family. Priya is in Cochin too. Why not contact her?
