I have just come back to my seat after observing two minutes of silence in office in memory of Rekha who died in yesterday's plane crash. Rekha worked in the finance department of Gulf News and worked closely with our division. I remember her as a lady who attracted attention whenever she came to our side of the office because of her lovely sarees, her big bindi and the earthy colours she wore.She was off on her annual leave and was supposed to leave on Friday but pushed her tickets to Saturday instead since she still had to finish packing. Rekha, her husband and daughter died in the crash.
It was no surprise that by the end of the two minutes most of my colleagues were in tears. I have goose bumps on me as I write this post.
Rest in peace Rekha...
