munirkn Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Sorry to hear that. He will remain alive in the hearts of those who love him. World is already short of such people who keen to learn/research. Our youth is fed up of study/research just kicking the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
