2007 starts really badly. Two of my ex-students, Siddique and Razib, who also happened to be very close to me, died in a road accident on 13th January, 2007 in Bangladesh. They were driving on the approach road to Cox's Bazar. Such is the nature of death, it came in the form of a haunting big bus that did not do any mistake in overrunning their car. Siddique and Razib died on the spot. The other one, Tazik, was in the driving seat, had serious injuries. Hope he would return back to normal soon. Still hoping to hear good news that he gets back okay.
Siddique and I had a talk on YAHOO back on 9th, 2007. He wanted to give me a phone call (probably for the last time) but I asked him not to make such an expensive call. He promised to call me later, which will never happen....
Siddique was a very politely behaved guy, he preferred talking about recent technologies, he kept aloof from complexities and always had high passion for computing and IT. He started working with Standard Chartered Bank and he started to roll on with the family that had miseries when his father died earlier.
Razib was probably one of the most gently spoken guys I have seen. Very decent and still poised to talk about what he wanted, who just finished his Masters from Australia had this fate to happen in five days. His return back home and a premature death leaves us to raise voice for "road safety".... but it is much too late now.
May the Creator bless their souls and rest their souls in peace. And May Tazik get back to normal and smiles just as loudly as he always does....
