It hurts like hell to know that ‘Chumma’ Sowmya is no more. I know her only through her blog & through e-mail & comment exchanges. She was a regular blogger until about 6 mths back and one would be forgiven for thinking that her new life was keeping her away from the online world, for her words never gave any clue of the underlying pain. But it really hurts to learn something like that about her. Wish the mail from Thennavan informing the news had gone to Bulk mail folder. May her family have enough strength to get over the loss.

Sad to hear such stuff..esp when people die young. May her family be bestowed with strength to bear the loss…

I am saddened to hear this. Although I hadn’t interacted with her, in my initial days of blogging, when I had been searching all around for Chennai (related) blogs, hers was one of the earliest I found. I was impressed with her Kerala photos and enjoyed reading her blog. Had no inkling of anything so serious. May her soul RIP

It was very sad to read about this. A tear welled in my eye – even though I did not know her either physically or virtually. What is left of her blog is a testimony to a real human being. And what is said about her by her brother is a real person’s story. Between the two of these things it is easy to construct a mental vision of a real human that has lived – and then gone. It is extremely remarkable how this can happen. But extremely disturbing too. This is the first blog that I have “witnessed” a passing away of it’s owner.

I was Sowmya’s classmate in Vidya Mandir. It was a real shock to me, like I wrote, especially since she seemed to be living in the same area of Bangalore that I live in.
