Krittika Sharma is also the former director of Death Over Dinner (India), which saw her organise over 2,00,000 dinners
She departs with the wisdom of this life, the humour of the universe, the warmth of an Indian, the manners of a Canadian, the punctuality of a German, and the style of the French—bound by the heart and lifelines, never by bloodlines. These are the concluding lines of Krittika Sharma’s obituary written to her own self.
Sharma, who has found a safe haven during the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak in the hills of Coonoor, thinks writing your own obituary while alive is not only therapeutic, but also helps imagine and reflect on life. “Traditionally, an obituary is written after a person’s death, by the survivor of the loss. This idea of writing an obit to self was in the making for the past few years. I feel when you sit to write it, it helps you see your life goals clearly. It also empowers you to be remembered the way you choose,” Sharma says, as she begins talking about her new initiative, Maajhi.
