Life so Cruel


Name: Flight Lieutenant Ronald Kevin Serrao
Age: 26 Years
Birthday: January 17th 1981
Deathday: January 18th 2007
Married on: April 29, 2006
Married to: Flight Lieutenant Deepika Dadlani Serrao


I just came to know about this person 2 days back. I had heard the news on T.V. about a guy who had lost his life flying an IAF aircraft. I ignored this news as we have so many IAF aircrafts meeting with accidents nowadays. However my sister updated me that this person happened to be from our native place, and hence i referred a site for more details on him. Reading about him made me feel life is so cruel at times. Why did he deserve to die in this manner?

This guy was killed while taking part in a live air-to-ground firing exercise in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. His father John Serrao was a Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) and his mom Jessica Serrao was a doctor. He had not even completed 5 years with the IAF, but his life did come to a tragic end.

It felt even worse reading his Orkut profile because we had people scrapping him on the 17th of January, wishing him on his birthday and the very next day people were writing scraps that involved condolences on his death. Life can change within such a short span of time. Don't know why GOD decided to call him at this early age. He had got married just about 8 months back to Flight Lieutenant Deepika, don't know what life has in store for this family now.
Here are some details of their profile which really ticked the funny bone in me:

Name: Ronald Kevin Serrao
Passions: Deepika
Sports:I'm game for anything...
Activities: Try me out....i'm ready
Books:I prefer them closed...or better still...in a library
Music: Can dance to any tune...
Movies: There are much better things to do in a hall ...I could never pay attention to one....;-)
Cuisines: Aaah..now u'r talkin...love to eat...donno y some people call me a carnivore though...
Job description: I always wanted to fly high in the sky ..so there i am...
Career interests: Aviation n aviation alone...d sky is my home...
Ideal match: Got one already
First thing you will notice about me: Everything
In my bedroom you will find: What do do expect....a football field???


Name: Deepika Dadlani Serrao
About me: Have you seen beauty with brains....its me
Activities: Love travelling...esp with kevin
Music: Crazy bout any kind of music..esp the kind kevin plays for me..
TV shows: Don't have time to watch the telly when kevin's around..
Movies: If only i could get my eyes off my husband...
Cuisines: Anything made by kevin
First thing you will notice about me: Kevin
Turn offs: Anyone other than kevin
My idea of a perfect first date: Just kevin
From my past relationships i learned: Kevin is the best
Five things i can't live without: kevin, kevin, kevin, kevin, kevin
In my bedroom you will find: kevin

What more can i say or write about what i have read of him. May his soul rest in peace and may his family come to terms with his loss, which would definitely take some time.

Hello Cedric. I chanced upon your blog while doing a Google search for Flt.Lt. Ronald Kevin Serrao. He was a family friend of my in-laws. I have posted a tribute to him on my blog. The story moved me so much, that I made a series of 7 paintings on him for his family. Two of them are posted on my blog. Please do take a look.I met Flt. Lt. Deepika Dadlani just two days back when she came to collect her paintings ( I made 4 for her).
Ronnie's story makes us wonder about the uncertainty of life, yes. But it also makes us want to live like him- with a passion, seizing life by the horns.

Take care and happy blogging...

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I have recently decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for tobacco smokes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers supreme Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

good evening ppl. I'm actually into shoes and I have been looking for the sake of that exact model. The prices for the boots were all over 210 bucks everwhere. But for all I bring about this area selling them as a remedy for half price. I in reality love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy these. what do you think?

Hi Cedric,

I happened to be reading an old article about Kevin and when did a google search, I came upon this blog...Kevin was a very good friend of mine..I had the fortune to be associated with him way back in 1997, when we did a short course in NIIT in Chennai. We were a gang of four and were quite thick friends, when he moved from Chennai..but he still stayed in touch.. My heart still cries when I think of him and his winning smile. I had spoken to him just a few weeks before his crash, and to think that he is not there with us...cant say much.

Salute to all our IAF pilots..

Mi

Hello guys,

What online mags do you read and would recommend?

For all you rockabilly people out there I recommend The Enough Fanzine. It is one of the first hardcore fanzines on the internet.

They have throusands of reviews from the most underground bands all over the world. Check them out online: [url=http://www.enoughfanzine.com]Enough Fanzine[/url]. Best of it all, they are 100% non-profit and just helping the scene!

Looking forward to your recommendations.

Regards!

I know Ronald Kevin Seraro from the time when he was posted at OCU in Tezpur. He was a thorough gentleman officer and a great guy. I got the news of his tragic crash when I was in Chabua. I felt really bad that day. But life went on and today when I heard of another Jaguar crash just out of curiosity I searched for Kevin and all of sudden all those interactions with then Fg Offr Kevin came to my mind and again I am sad today for his loss.
