12 August 2004 - Forever
A dreamer, a very, very big dreamer. A visionary. A foodie. A car lover. Someone who embraced life fully and lived every moment with joy. A techie, a brilliant speaker, and a mind capable of deep analytical thinking on any topic. Yes, a little lazy at times, but one of the most unique minds to have ever been among us. A business thinker with ambitions to build empires.
Who is this kind of person? Nothing less than a legend. He is The Legend, Kabir Arora.
Most importantly, he was a spiritual soul, someone who understood the truths of life and death at a remarkably young age. His mind was truly one of a kind. His thinking stood apart from the world. He often used to say, "Mera dimaag normal duniya ke jaisa nahi chalta, main duniya jaisa nahi sochta hoon." And that was the truth.
Whenever I suggested a conventional path, he would respond, "Aise normal, usual path follow nahi karna... different karna hai, sabse bada karna hai." He saw the world with greater clarity than I, or any of us in the family did.
He deeply admired Steve Jobs, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Virat Kohli whom he lovingly called his "bhai." He dreamed of being as influential and impactful as them. His interests were as varied as they were intense: entrepreneurship, filmmaking, acting, creating videos, singing, data science, philanthropy...
Everything he did, he did with his whole heart, boldly, passionately, and without hesitation.
He lit up every room he walked into. His laughter, his conversations, his humor, even his anger, were magnetic. He was the one who brought energy to every gathering, who made sure the house never fell silent.
"Kabir is not just a person. He is a soch. A presence. A force. A legend."
