Aviva (Purple_penguins)- Updated 1/31 pg1

Dear Ksians,

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for the kind words for Aviva (Zooni). My name is Sheen, and I am her cousin. As I read the 17 pages last night. You all have no idea how many tears strolled out of my eyes. It is heart-warming to know that Zooni was loved by many here on IF. On behalf of the Tikoo-Lefvre (her's) and Kaul (Tasso's) family, I would like to thank each and every one of you who shared their moments with Zooni on IF. It truly means a lot to us, to know that Zooni has touched many lives here on IF and else where. She has indeed touched the lives of many, and it is a shame to see her leave. Zooni's funeral has been arranged for Saturday February 3, 2007.

I was entrusted her diary as she was in the hospital by Zooni herself. Now as I am finding quotes and other stories for her eulogy. As I found some stories, of her IF friends, which I plan on including. And here are they are….

Thanks once again for all the warm wishes.

P.S. ---These were written in French, I had to translate them. If the English sounds wacko, I am very sorry. I tried my best. It took me a long time to figure out what she wrote. Also could Princess deactivate her account? Please.

a)December, 2006

I am the MOTW on IF. Isn't that cool. I am excited for it. Heeehee, I hope the questions are okay though. Man, Robin is going to a wedding; I will miss her so much. I hope she comes back soon. Navs putthar is driving me nuts. I guess I should tell her that Jai is my jiju, otherwise she will hunt me down. Heeeeheee, maybe I should hide? Now where? Hmmm. I'll think about that. Hheeee I have converted everyone to speaking French. I mean, VP, Sabs, and now MT. I am soo horrible aren't I! I just love the language so much. It is so rich and romantic….Okay now I miss France…Siddharth is Kashmiri, how cool is that! I mean, umm we are from the same state! Wow, I cant believe he PMed back to the PM what a sweetheart. I have to reply back to him, but how?? I promised that I would let Reemu know first….. Reemu get your butt back on MSN ASAP!

b)January, 2007

Happy New Years to everyone all over the world. And Nav Vari Chuv Mubharak Raashu and Siddharth…May this year bring everyone happiness. Happy Birthday to Moi. Sheenu is such meanie!!! I can't believe that she called me an old fart. She is only 18, what does she know. I am so excited to be 20. Maybe this year will prove to be better than last year. Ha, guess who wished me first. Reemu and then Prez. And then Manish and Klue PMed me such sweet wishes…. But Prez gave me my first gift. How sweet of her. I swear! I mean the Ram, Sid, and Ashwini sig was priceless. I loved it sooo much. I loved the siggy, or I think it's a siggy. I'll keep it forever till I die….

c)January, 2007

What is life? I mean honestly. What can I call my life? Lies, Deceit, Frustration?? Is this it? If it is, then I wish I was never born. But you know what diary, even through this I will be grateful to my Lord and Sharikay Bhavani. You know why? Because I have the best friends. Someone once wrote,

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

Whoever wrote that, I am impressed! Such a beautiful quote and how true it is. I wish everyone has best friends like I do. I would love to thank all my friends. I may never meet them all but I wish them the best for the future, and maybe the next generation we will meet. Till then Alvida……And please if I never come back… Please Sheen, I am entrusting you with the responsibility to make sure my family and friends never cry for me. I don't want them to worry. Wherever I go, I will be watching my family and friends.. Thanks to:

Rej(Rejean), RJ (Christiano), Ekta(Shreya), Circuit(Rachelle), Sadu(Saadiyah), Paro(Kasshish), Butterfly(Auditi), Anupama, VP (Cordz), Guli, Hotstuff (Farha), Robin (Jaz), Prez (Shina), Mamta, Mickey lova #1 (Shafaq), MT, Manish, Klueless, Navs putthar (Navneet), Neha, Paku (Pakiza), Raashu (Raashi), Queen (Sabrina), Reemu (Anam), Sangita, Sweetu, Vaidu, Iago(Munnabhai)…. and to the others who made me smile, Merci from the bottom of my hear. For making me smile, for making me enjoy my life till the fullest.. These are two poems, for when I am not here, please don't cry. Instead remeber the days we laughed, we played in the sun and had the best days of our lives....

Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free;
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.
