When I met her the first time she came across as a different girl. A girl with higher IQ, higher purpose in life, love for poetry and what attracted me the most was that she was a Khush Zabaan! Born and brought up in Luckhnowi tehzeeb she was a great combo of beauty and brain.
When I was done blowing up my last relationship, and was ready to reconstruct another one - I thought of her. Back then I was in the US, so I used to call her often and speak with her. Each time I used to enjoy our conversations. Each time she used to impress me with her wit and sense of humor.
And then one day she told me about her medical condition. Her kidneys were failing and she did not know how much longer she has left. I was shattered again. She again impressed me with her attitude to life and death in those circumstances.
I still used to call her to make her laugh, share a joke or some time share my new nazm. It was yahoo messenger in those days and whatsapp was years away. The last time we chatted she shared her nazm and I realized how deep she was capable of thinking.
I lost contact with her some time later......life just went into an over drive and I had no choice but to run with it. As a result I lost touch with her.......
She died today in Lucknow!
Whoever is up there, better have a good excuse!
Rest in peace Shama!!
My last conversation with her was on June 30th, 2012 when she said
"Jun 30 10:52 PM
sayed.shama:ap achche writer hai
and her last word was a smiley!!
Jun 30 11:38 PM

ps: My mind went blank when I heard the news.....its time to cry.....I will, as soon as I finish writting her obituary!
Dekh le...kina accha writer hoon main shama....dekh tere baare main kaisa likha!
