For his younger brother he wants to make a statement and spread awarness about cancer. Raj hopes the outings will provide lasting memories. His brother RJ, 34, is admitted to hospital on ICU because of heart failure and is in critical condition. The family is praying for a wonder.
Raj found his writing notes, music lyrics, poems after he was admitted to hospital. ”He was a very good writer; he prefered to pen down his feelings and loved music. He was good in everything he did”. Raj also found last letters for the people he love in case he won’t be able to say what they mean to him.
”We think that we are immortal and so the future really doesn’t exist for us. That being said, we worry about it all of the time, as we also worry about the things we have screwed up in the past, but we never talk about dying and never truly understand the speed of time. My brother was aware of the facts because he tried to make up things in his battle. He always said you are the architect of your lfe. The storyboards are of your own making. We’ll no doubt tell lies and say that we had a wonderful life, that we wouldn’t have changed anything in the world, when really we will wish we had done things differently. Life is short that’s what he reminded us of”, Raj says.
”I don’t know one person who can hate him. He believes in helping others. A day after he was admitted to hospital I got a letter from a boy living in a village in Morocco who was blind and now got his eyesight back. He now studies because my brother paid his operation and study when he visited the country last year”, Raj continues.
To spread awarness Raj shared his brother’s bucket list with things he wanted to do before he dies. This list is a reminder that life can be over in a wink.
