On Thursday (7), Roshan had posted on Instagram, “My dear Aryan . Life is a strange ride . It’s great because it’s uncertain. It’s great cause it throws you curve balls, but god is kind. He gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play. You know you are chosen when amidst the chaos you can feel the pressure to hold your own. And I know you must feel it now. The anger, the confusion, the helplessness. Aaah , the very ingredients that are needed to burn the hero out from inside you. But be wary , those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff... the kindness, the compassion, the love. Allow yourself to burn, but just enough..”
He further wrote, “Mistakes , failings , victories , success... they’r all the same if you know which parts to keep with you and which parts to throw away from the experience. But know that you can grow better with them all. I’v known you as a kid and i’v known you as a man. Own it. Own everything you experience. They’r your gifts. Trust me. In time when you connect the dots... I promise you , It’s gonna make sense. Only if you have stared the devil in his eyes and kept your calm. Keep calm . Observe. These moments are the makers of your Tom. And Tom is going to have a brilliant sun shining. But for it , you must go thru the dark. Calm , still , owning your own. And trusting the light. Within. It’s always there . Love you man .”

COMMUNITIES SECRETARY Steve Reed said it was "absolutely unacceptable" for women to have been excluded from a charity running event in a London park organised by a mosque.
The East London Mosque staged its annual five-kilometre (three-mile) fundraising run last WEEK, advertising it as "inclusive" and for "runners and supporters of all ages and abilities".
But it also noted the run was only open to "men, boys of all ages and girls under 12".
A Mail on Sunday article highlighting the exclusion of women sparked a flurry of criticism and calls for the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to probe whether the event breached equalities law.
"I was as horrified as anybody else," Reed told LBC radio when asked about the controversy, adding he was "appalled".
"It's absolutely unacceptable that women should be blocked from going on a fun run in a public space when the men are allowed to go out there and do that," he said.
Reed said the EHRC would determine "whether there has been any breach of the law or regulations" and that "sanctions" could then potentially follow.
The watchdog declined to confirm whether it was probing the matter.
A 2010 law prevents discrimination on the grounds of sex, religion, disability or other so-called protected characteristics.
However there are exceptions, including one which permits sports to be segregated lawfully where an activity is "affected by gender".
In a lengthy statement that did not directly address THE event, the East London Mosque insisted it "encourages women to take part in sporting activities".
"We remain committed to listening to the needs of our community and ensuring our programmes serve everyone."
Tower Hamlets Council, which owns the park and permits its use for some charitable events, said it has contacted the mosque "to seek urgent clarification" about the restrictions it placed on participation.
