Akshay Kampasi
Akshay, alias Happy, was snatched away by the cruel hands of destiny on 2nd August, 2007. He had just turned 17 five months ago. Born to Mr.Vinay and Prof.Sunita Kampasi on 2nd March 1990 at Srinagar, India, at a time when Kashmiri Hindus were being forced out of their motherland by Pak-engineered Islamic terrorists, Akshay possessed a sharp intellect and impressed all with his ready wit right from his formative years. His educated parents, particularly the mother, imparted the best possible education to the exceptionally talented boy, who had a passion for science and technology, especially computers. He had designed a family website at the age of 15. He loved music and photography. His confidence level was one of his forte. Matured beyond his years, he was a source of strength to all in the family. Akshay fought the disease bravely. Though he was in and out of the hospital for eighteen months, he bore the suffering without a whimper. Finally the brave boy lost the stoic battle of life. His parents, relative and friends could not believe that the loving boy had just left them for good. They still think that he is aroud and is simply playing the game of hide and seek with them. |
