Heart attacks are becoming so common, even among relatively young people. This is a wake-up call about our stressful lifestyles and health. A tragic loss for his constituency.

Respectful of Rahul Gandhi and PM Modi both putting aside politics to offer condolences. In death, we remember the person, not the party. Dr. Syngkon seemed like a dedicated MP from the tributes.

The Northeast often feels forgotten in national discourse. It's important that MPs from regions like Meghalaya get their due recognition, especially in moments like these. May his work inspire others.

While the condolences are appropriate, I do wish our political discourse was this respectful and focused on service when our leaders are alive, not just in obituaries. A moment for reflection.
