A memorial space dedicated to our son, brother, and friend Ishaan Mahajan.

Feel free to post write-ups, letters, photos, or videos dedicated to him.

Here's to celebrating the life of Ishaan Mahajan. Here’s to saying hello to him again instead of saying goodbye.

The time he hurt his chin and we met him at his favourite spot, Majorda Beach.

He called me one night, out of the blue, and said "Let's do an art exhibition " and 4 months later. There we were.

I have had the pleasure to love Ishaan, yes, pleasure, because he taught me that broken things can be loved too. He stood by me at my worst and I will forever be grateful ♥️

I'm in the city of beautiful sunsets, I look at it everyday and think about him.

I miss you Ishaan🫶🏼

Rewriting this from last 2hrs
But still words aren’t enough to describe who Ishaan ‘was’
Too soon to leave this world
You could be so much to this world for making it a bette place.
Thankyou for teaching me various things which could help me in my life.
Thankyou for making me understand that how can a life be lived.
That how can we explore ourselves and not be a robot like others.
That how can we give ourselves a priority over others
That how enjoying life besides work is so important
That how can a person is more capable than he thinks he is

Thankyou for making me understand how “choosing” can be a blessing and a curse.
Yes Curse, coz you didn't have the right to leave soon.
I wish we could talk and make you rethink about it
Still if there’s actually a place like heaven
I pray for you to Rest In Peace. And be safe and secure anywhere and everywhere.

I knew this world wasn’t for you.
You were above all of us.
And now you are, geographically too.
I wish you could develop some strength to gather all your thoughts and not let them catch you in their web.
I wish you could control them rather than they controlling them.

What happened has happened
I wish and genuinely pray for uncle aunty and ishika to be blessed for their rest of life and smile whenever they get reminded of you.
Take care man!
Couldn’t even say you Goodbye.

God bless.

Always in loving memories❣

Strange how our actions/work help others. Always grateful :)

I found about Ishan today morning when out of the blue I decided to read about the guy whose postcard I have in my room shelf since Jan 2023.

I didn’t know him personally, but every other day I look at this postcard with his name written in the bottom. This particular postcard is very close to my heart and have helped me in my hard times. It’s strange how people actions can affect our lives and act as a helping hand. I hope wherever he is, he reads this and knows that he has been a beautiful soul and I am always grateful for this postcard. Rest in peace, brother. Your struggle has come to an end and there are beautiful meadows and beaches ahead with a full moon shining on you.

things that he liked; (things that remind me of him)

You’ll always be there in my heart, missing you always and everyday.🌻❤️

Dear Ishaan

Thankyou for really, really making me feel like I belong. You've done more than you know. I was browsing through old pictures and I found a couple of us walking through the diwali market, some pictures of Goa and some videos. It's so endearing to hear your voice through these. As much as I miss you, I'm really happy to have shared these memories with you. How could I forget you and Ishika helping me through my broken hand phase? I'm always, always grateful for that. For the longest time, I've thought this over and over of what you think would be the perfect writing. Well right now, I couldn't stop myself after going through this memory lane. If internet has it's bad sides, it also has amazing sides of finding people like you, who leave a beautiful mark on people's lives. For me, you'll always be here, in paintings pictures, tattoos, your octopus plushie, and everything I have. Thankyou for everything Ish.

Love, Dudo

kaurravneet1927 — 2023-08-28 23:30:30 UTC

Somehow, even with so much physical distance between us, you would call me exactly when I needed you. I'll be forever grateful I sat down next to you in BcmMun and tried to help you talk to a girl ;)
I got a friend, a brother that day 💙🌻

prernaberi5 — 2023-09-25 16:43:30 UTC

Smart Phones have everything, photos, messages, apps, calendar but what do I do with it all when all I want to do is call you to ask you if you're happier now.

itsdivs — 2023-12-08 23:24:49 UTC

You used to enter my room almost every evening to wake me up during 2021 winter. This is the first picture you helped me shoot while teaching me about photography and cameras, which was during one of those evenings.

We both spent hours talking about cinematography, visuals & movies...

I used to tell you that you should open a podcast as you'll get many listeners because you have a way to tell stories and spill tea!! 😂

Just wanted to share this here because I happen to find this picture in my gallery today 💙

2024-06-15 17:31:29 UTC

It's been too long, too long since I heard your silly puns, since I called you to bare my soul to you, since we had a coffee together and talked about all the new tattoos we wanna get. I miss you so much, it hurts.

Somedays I oversee this one, its a part of me now. Once in a while it hits me, anytime anyone asks me about this tattoo, I will tell them about vou. I will alwavs remember you, tell them how you changed my life.

Everytime you come across my mind, I smile while tears drip down my cheeks.

I miss you, there is nothing that can fill that void vou left.

Reaching out to you, always. Happy Birthday, Ishaan. Hope, where-ever you are, you’re playing your guitar and ukulele and painting and cooking and making everything you loved :) Miss you.

Heaven must be glowing just as brightly as you lit up the lives of everyone around you. Miss you, man. 🌻

Three years of missing you, a lifetime of loving you.

prernaberi5 — 2025-07-20 19:11:22 UTC

It's been 3 years. Three fucking years! And not a day goes by without the echoes of your memories. Sometimes it's a Google or snapchat's ‘6 years ago’ memory, sometimes a book, a movie, a sunset in just the perfect hue, a peculiar looking object that I know you would have loved to see, a song, a phrase or just the word apparently, which apparently stopped sounding the same after you went away.

You voice. I miss it. It's slipping away and I hate it. Your face.. I wish to see how it would have looked like with some more lines, more maturity more acne scares maybe. Your imperfections were also so perfect. I love, miss and hate you all in the same moment. I still spend my nights waiting for a call from you before you decided to go ahead with such a gigantic, life altering action. Somedays I understand what you might have been going through and on some I just want to talk some sense into you. And sometimes I just wish I could hug you just 1 more time. Tell you that you are loved and cherished. There are some new songs that you would have loved. If you had stayed. Just a little longer. Just a little more. I can't even begin to fathom your pain or how lonely your last minutes must have felt. I.. I miss you asshole. I miss annoying you. I miss cooking with you. I miss listening to the songs you would suggest. I miss the fact that even though you had apple music, you'd go to Spotify and search that song you wanted to share with me and then share the link because I don't do apple music.

You know, some days I am happy. And it doesn't feel so heavy

But on the ones that I miss you, it's like this boulder on my chest that I just can't move. It stays there, sinking me in grief and sorrow till it just isn't there anymore. Your memories come and go in waves, and yet I keep standing on the shore waiting for the next one.

Remembering you

kaurravneet1927 — 2025-07-23 02:52:48 UTC

I still remember it, like yesterday. The last day, we spent it driving around doing silly things, meeting friends and drinking coffee and munching on froyo. We got me a phone case, you gave me that pressed flower to put with our photograph🌻

We said goodbye, few hours later you came to see my mom. We hugged goodbye, and if I had even a little idea that it would be our last, I’d have never let you go. I comb through our last days, conversations and photos wondering if I missed it?

I’m in Vancouver, the city you briefly lived in; and all I wonder is, did you walk these same streets? Did you love the cafes I go to? Occasionally, when I’m thinking about you, I come across little things that remind me of you, and take it as your sign.

I miss you & I love you dummy.

You will always be in my heart everyday

Thank you for making me fall in love with the skies. Thank you for sending me pictures of the sunsets. Thank you for making me a person who falls for beaches now. I miss you everyday Ishaan. I am just not able to express. Today 4 years has been passed and not s single day have been passed that I don’t think about you🥺

Thank you for being Sun to this sunflower. I miss you idiot. I hope you are happier and at peace.

With love
