ಭಾವಪೂರ್ಣ ಶ್ರದ್ಧಾಂಜಲಿ. ಓಂ ಶಾಂತಿ ಅಗಲಿದ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ದೇವರು ಚಿರಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಕರುಣಿಸಲಿ. ಹಾಗು ಕುಟುಂಬ ವರ್ಗದವರಿಗೆ ಅವರ ಅಗಲುವಿಕೆಯ ನೋವನ್ನು ಸಹಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಭಗವಂತ ನೀಡಲಿ .

It is still so hard to believe that you are no longer with us, dear DJ Mervin Mendonsa (Belman). You were never just a DJ — you were the life of every celebration, the soul that transformed silence into music, and the friend whose presence brought comfort and joy. Your music didn’t just fill the air, it filled our hearts. You gave us not only tunes to dance to but memories to treasure for a lifetime. How can we forget the countless nights when you stood behind the console, lost in your own rhythm, yet completely in tune with the happiness of everyone around you? The way you smiled when the crowd cheered, the way you added “just one more song” when someone requested, the way you poured your heart into every performance — those moments will remain etched in our memories forever. Beyond music, you were about people — humble, approachable, and a friend to all. You were known for winning hearts with your music, your ever-smiling face, and that trademark cap you always wore wherever you went. The news of your sudden passing struck like lightning this morning, leaving us all shocked and broken. Just six months ago, you had stepped into a new chapter of life — marriage — and now, before the world could even wake, you closed your eyes to this one. In a cruel twist of fate, you lost your life while trying to save it — swerving to avoid a dog on the Uchil National Highway. What a tragedy… what a loss. 😭 Fate has been unkind — such a death should never happen to anyone. You were not only cheerful but also innocent at heart, trustworthy in your work, always busy yet always present when needed. Words fail us today… I still remember being with you at some events — your laughter, your energy, your simplicity. Just Nine days ago you celebrated your birthday, and today life has placed a full stop on your journey. 😭 Everything feels silent… everything feels empty. Your untimely departure has left an irreplaceable void, not only in the music community but in every life you touched. The music may have stopped, but the memories, laughter, and joy you created will live forever. Rest in peace, dear friend. The console may stand still, but your spirit will forever keep the rhythm alive in our hearts. 🎶✨
