Arsh I was never one of your close friends but that means next to nothing. Out of all those guys I initially didn't approve of, I have to say that you were definitely the one who seemed to have the kindest heart. I always wondered how you got your hair to stay like that, and how you made hearts out of sheesha perfectly every time. I won't forget the times that we drank chai, hated on my sister together, and I told aaisha that I finally approved of her friends. Yeah I never knew you that well, but it doesn't matter now, since I won't be able to, and the actions of one took you away from everyone who loved you. You were the only non muslim guy I'd ever heard of who gave his salam to those around him. You never drank, and I wondered how someone could have so much willpower at their hands. I hope God will grant you paradise. I hope that this changes the perspective of our entire city, all of your friends, and all of those around you. At the cost of your life, maybe people will think twice about drinking and driving, and maybe a couple more lives will be saved, all because of you. Rest in peace Arshy, we won't ever forget you. <3

In memory of Arsh Brar, 1992 - 2011<3
You call it "a death by drinking and driving"?
I call it manslaughter.

ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely tragic, and there's no difference between drunk driving and any other form of manslaughter. It ended an innocent man's life, and there's nothing more unfair than an injustice like this. You're wonderful for honouring Arsh's death, Mariam. He won't be forgotten. <3
