Nahoum had a pure soul unfortunately he isn't alive to see so many that care about him. From what I recall, he always reached out to others but not sure why he didn't do that when he needed someone to reach out to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15961709.post-29449566319032285512007-09-14T04:41:00.000+06:002007-09-14T04:41:00.000+06:00To the writer post dated Aug 30th:One more thing:I...To the writer post dated Aug 30th:<BR/><BR/>One more thing:<BR/>It would be wise for you to spend your time and energy worrying about your own actions, instead of the actions of others.

I regret that it was only in recent years that I got to know him better. Ironically, the last time we met in London he made some comment of dying young of a broken heart and it was only yesterday when I got the terrible news that those words hit home. I wish I could have done something to help.

We were flat mates in New York and shared many memorable moments as struggling students – the times we tend to remember the most when we overcome them. There were times we wondered how to manage rent or even food. I often quote something he has done to describe our lives during that time – difficult but not without humour.<BR/><BR/>One day, NahoumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15961709.post-89891677612978116112007-08-26T17:12:00.000+06:002007-08-26T17:12:00.000+06:00Farhan, thank you for voicing our sentiments.

I lost one of my best friends from childhood last year, around this time actually, and the last time we met was the winter before that at the WVA fair. He called a couple times after that to hang before he returned to Australia but I was too taken up by the girl I was dating at the time, whom you've never met but it was incredibly detrimental to my sanity etc.Akkel Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360420927829333607noreply@blogger.com
