A Very Sad Day

It seems unbelievable to even type this, but today (Monday, 11/14) we learned that our exchange classmate Amit Gupta passed away in his bed in Manchester.

Amit was enrolled at Rotterdam Business School fulltime and a native of India. Of course, you can't really know someone that well in 2 months, but Amit seemed to be a very nice guy, 34 years old, looking forward to completing a Western MBA and return back to his wife and children.

We don't know anything further about what happenned because MBS has not released any information. Hopefully they'll tell us something soon.

But after all the joking about getting kidnapped in Latvia and other nonsense, it's a little frightening to think a guy in your class in Manchester, Seattle or just a 34 year old colleague at work could pass away in his bed. Will kind of shake you up a little.

To the side are some pictures of Amit from our trip to the camp in Dovenest at the beginning of the quarter.
