Sleepless in Muscat (SIM) is no more. The 29-year-old Omani blogger from Muscat was a regular columnist with us for over a year, and I have interacted with SIM on many occasions. Quite an enthu guy, SIM would write columns as per the deadline, and nine out of 10 times he would be early in submitting his column. I found SIM to be a person who could be mature and immature at the same time. He would write bold columns much to our discomfort at times. Many a times he would raise objections to certain editing we used to make in his columns. SIM even objected to using his real name in my blogroll, and finally I had to knock it off. Once he confided in me that one day we would like to write for international newspaper like The New York Times. How I wish I knew the pain (chronic illness) SIM was going through all these years. I would have made him feel comfortable by whatever way I could. Words are failing me right now…my eyes are moist…
