Lost my cousin to cancer last year. This hits hard. The way Saumya describes Vibhu's fighting spirit - that's exactly how cancer warriors are. They smile through unimaginable pain. We need better healthcare and awareness about early detection in India.

"Life is so damn short" - this line stayed with me. We keep postponing things thinking we have time, but we don't. Vibhu's legacy will live on through the lives he touched. More power to Saumya for sharing this raw emotion with us.

While the tribute is touching, I wish media gave this much attention to cancer awareness when people are alive rather than just after they pass. We need regular coverage about symptoms and prevention, not just obituaries.

Stage 4 colon cancer at such a young age is terrifying 😢 This shows why regular health checkups are important, no matter how busy we are. May his soul rest in peace and may his family find strength. Om Shanti 🙏
