    A very shocking and sad news. I cannot believe this. Manu was such a godfearing, helpful and kind boy. I remember how he has helped us when my mother had a knee replacement surgery in Bangalore in May, 2008. He had donated his blood for her. Even though he was very busy he used to visit her in the hospital and was a great source of moral support for her. My mother and all of us are deeply saddened with this news. May god give strength to his parents and sisters to bear this loss. No words can lighten their grief. WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU MANU.
