Another day for all the suits and ties, mourning, and a sudden wave of people rising to remember a friend they lost, Karan Joseph, MadFingers.

"When your WhatsApp starts to buzz with messages that read "Did You Hear?" by  at-least a 15 mutual friends, you know it really isn't about the recent gig Karan played or the new song he just released!" Said a very dear friend of Karan.

On September 9, 2017, the internet was flooded with remembering statuses for Karan after we got the news. Maybe we should learn to appreciate, support, love, share, offer help while they are still around, maybe they'd stay. There was so much grief all over social media, it was so overwhelming. There are a lot of complexities around what the actually happened. Was it really a suicidal act? Was it a thought Karan struggled with for the longest time? We were told that it had almost been a month since Karan was upset, and not in his best shape or state of mind. While the investigations continue let's take a moment to appreciate the musician Karan was.

"Karan Joseph was a genius. Should have been far more celebrated than he was. It's really unfair how the music scene works in India"  Tweeted Vishal Dadlani on his profile @VishalDadlani 

"Karan was without doubt a musician extraordinaire. Not often do we come across a keyboardist as versatile as him & his improvisation skills were just exemplary. Every time I'd meet him at gigs, he’d be that warm smily soul who made sure he filled everyone's heart with joy through his music. He truly had a heart of gold. Sad day for us as we've lost one of the most talented musicians in the country," said Sofar Sounds' Raghav Srivastava.

As friends and fellow musicians recount the time they spent with Karan, a few notes stay common: a loving soul, a heart full of love, an insatiable passion for music and thorough professionalism.

RIP Madfingers, your music will live on.
