amazing and other fellow nepali daaju bhai didi bahini, i talked to some friends here when i got back from austin today and found out some details about the incident. it is saddening to hear the whole thing. He transferred from Arkansas to Northlake. He was talking to a friend on the phone while the robbers got in. oh and about being cautious, it may prevent robbery, but death is fixed, for all, me and you... It is not me saying, just read below how the incident occured that led to his death... 1. First of all, his mother was having bad dreams over a month and calling him regularly crying, suspecting something bad gonna happen... He used to talk back home everyday since then. 2. One day before the shooting, he was on his way to Alabama to pick some friends who just had transferred to North Lake College. But the fate has something else in his plan...[just like how Final destination movie] and his car broke down somehow on the way. He called a tow company to tow the car. Tow company said it'd cost him around $1400 for the whole trip due to long distance. So he called one friend in dallas to ask what to do. He was suggested (may be car was little old) to sell it as there was no point in paying $1400 for that car just to tow. He sold his car to some shop for around $400 and came back to Dallas instead of going to Alabama as he could not pick his friends up. 3.Yesterday, he was not even supposed to work. Obviously as he was supposed to be in Alabama. His boss called him to come to work if he wants. Shekhar's brother is coming soon, so he was trying to work extra hours to save money so he can buy a car for his brother when he gets here. 4.There were two clerks, one Paki and Shekhar that time in the store. Whole thing would have been different if Shekhar would have been filling the cooler and Paki was at the register. Anyway, Paki ran in the cooler when he saw the masked men with guns. They saw shekhar and asked him to open the register. He hung the phone up and tried to open the register. Again, fate has something else... register won't open. The same damn register he opened million times didn't open that time. This thing set one of the robber off and he shot shekhar. Just track the whole incident of his death. It is freakin scary the way fate led him to that shift. May his soul get peace. *************************** His funeral is being held here in Dallas; Below is the email from President of Nepalese Society in Texas: From : Gouri R Joshi Reply-To : NSTexas@googlegroups.com Sent : Wednesday, December 21, 2005 2:08 PM To : NSTexas@googlegroups.com Subject : Funeral & Memorial Service for Shekhar Regmi | | | Inbox We are so sorry to let this community members know that Mr. Shekhar Regmi, the youngest and loving member in his family, a good friend, a bona fide student in North Lake College, was shot to death at his work place in Ball Park Fina Mart yesterday night.
