His time with us was cut far too short, but the impact he left is timeless. Jaga was truly the heartbeat of our group. From our unforgettable school days to every reunion, he always made sure everyone enjoyed themselves. I will never forget our last reunion together. After dinner, Sutha and I were walking back to our room when Jaga spotted us, stopped us, and said, “No, no boys, you can’t go to bed this early! Come to our room.” We were both too tired to accept his invitation and went to bed. The next thing we heard was knocking at the door. It was Jega, still calling us to join him! The next morning, we had to face his humorous comments, followed by some friendly banter and laughter at the breakfast. That was Jaga: always bringing people together, always keeping the joy alive. Beyond his incredible friendship, I will deeply miss the unique bond we shared over music. Coming from such a rich musical background, Jaga was a true, passionate lover of the art, and I will always treasure the musical knowledge we shared. Though his physical journey has ended and his soul has attained Moksha, Jaga’s spirit remains entirely untouched by time. The legacy of laughter, music, and beautiful memories he leaves behind will never die. He will live on forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You are missed beyond words.
