We will not say ‘rest’ in peace.

Thank you, Abed bhai.

Thank you for showing us how meaningful one’s life can be.

Thank you for instilling the courage in us to take on the impossible.

Thank you for showing us how to listen and learn, to fail and to get up again in the service of others.

Thank you for making us see that no one is ordinary and to seek potential in everyone.

We will not say ‘rest’ in peace.

The Abed bhai we know would not rest until we build an equal world.

We know you would not want us to lament your loss for long.

You would want us to tirelessly fight poverty and inequality, like you did the last 47 years.

We promise to rise to that responsibility.

We promise to be worthy of your legacy.
