Twenty three years is a long time - and yet it seems like yesterday that I was given Manika's name at a world-wide choral event in memory of the victims of 9/11. I never met her or any her family - but I have not forgotten her sweet face and smile looking back at me and every year, I listen for her name in the reading at Ground Zero. I say a prayer that she is at peace and that you, her family, friends and loved ones, have found some comfort in her memory, some strength from the support of those around you, and have continued to make new memories knowing her spirit is with you always, watching, guiding and loving you forever. May you be blessed always.

As I have posted so often, I never knew Manika. I was given her picture to remember as part of a Long Island group participating in an international singing event of Mozart's Requiem a year later. I wrote on this page then, and have done so frequently ever since. While I knew of people who were lost, having Manika;s picture and hearing her story put a very personal touch to the events of that day for me. I have not forgotten her, and her smiling face and laughing eyes can come to me not only at 9/11 but at times through the year. This year I was in Delaware for the funeral of a cousin who died from another tragedy - Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam, but came home in time to sing at the memorial Mass my church has. Thoughts of Manika - and of you, her family and friends, again filled my heart. Please know that I continue to remember her, that I believe her spirit is at peace with her god, and I pray that your family know the comfort and strength and hope that only true love for one another and faith in all that is holy can bring. Twenty years can be a moment - or a lifetime. I send you my prayers for blessings to you all as you hold sweet Mona in your hearts today and every day. May God bless you all.

Dear Manika,
I did not know you personally, in fact, I was watching a documentary and looked up your article. My soul immediately sunk after I saw your picture! You are beautiful and bright, you really are an angel. I hope wherever you are, you are at peace.

Tomorrow, your family and thousands of others will remember the loved ones lost. I pray for you this year as I do every year. I pray that Manika has peace, that she knows what her sweet spirit has brought over the years to so many, that she continues to watch over you her loved ones and that you who loved her may feel the warmth of friendship and caring from those who share your sorrow and rejoice in a life well lived but too short. May you be blessed as always with peace and love.
I have her picture since 2002....and she is in my heart.

To the Narula family - Once again, we pause to remember the many taken from us on that sad day. Time may heal some of the hurt, but it cannot dim the memories of one so loved by her family and friends. Each 9/11, the face of your daughter and sister makes this day more poignant, more personal. And so please know tonight as I sing once again at our church's 9/11 Mass, I will send up prayers that Manika is truly at peace - and that you who have loved her and remember her still may find peace in the knowledge she is always in your hearts. Blessings to you all.

Today is the 15th anniversary of what must be a heartbreaking memory for your family. As I have said, I never met Manika - I was given her name at a memorial concert I sang for. But I have never forgotten her. Today - as every year, I waited to hear her name at the NYC memorial on TV, and I thought of her when I sang at a service in my church tonight. Even though I live out here in Nassau County, from my home I can faintly see the memorial lights in the sky - shining up to the heavens, reaching out to those spirits who watch over us and providing a light to shine a bit of hope in our hearts. And this year, as every year, as I looked at the light, I said a prayer that Manika's soul is at peace - which I know it is. But more important that you her family have found peace and courage and strength to live life in the light of her shining spirit. May you know that I will always pray for you and your family not only on 9/11 but always. God bless you.

I knew Manika as a suitemate from Stony Brook university at Gershwin college where we resided as dorm mates. Manika was such a beautiful and talented person. She was also very funny, caring, full of life and positivity. She always made everyone feel comfortable and loved. When her sisters and friends would visit us at s chool she would invite me and others to come and enjoy. Aside from that she always knew how to listen and cheer up people and she did that well. A good friend always.. I will miss her positivity, great sense of humor, and most importantly cheerful laughter.. i will miss her dearly... with luv always..

Manika was a truly special person. As a 19 year old intern the summer of 2001, Manika made me feel a part of the group in a way that no one else could. She was a beautiful person and I will never forget her kindness. My prayers are with her family every year at this time.

Dear Narula family I'm a student from high school and the story of Manika ,touched me cause of how me and my brother are so close and i dont know what i would do if I lost him. When i saw the article on manikas tragety it touched me because of the bond between the sisters Monika and Gujral. I cant imagine the pain you went through on this loss. Gujral, i know it must be so hard for you because it seems like you had such a good relaionship with your sister.You were willing to go inside the burning building to save her , you were pulled away.Thats somthing to be proud of that you would do for your sister.I'm so sorry for your loss of Monika she sounded like a great girl.

Manika, I never met you but I can feel your spirit, I know God took you home to heaven for a reason, I pray for you every sunday at church. I know you must have been so frightend but god said come to me and freed you from the pain you were in and I know even though we never met, I know when god calls me home, I know we will meet
May god bless you Manika
God, our father in heaven, the giver of life, I have come to you to pray and to ask you to brighten Manika's family and friend's days with Manika's love, I thank you god for freeing Manika's spirit and giving her angel wings and it is through you that her family and friends and me go on in life and the reason we go on is because 1st of all, we know Manika would want us to be brave and go on and 2nd of all, Manika is up in heaven with you and 3rd of all because someday we will get to see her again
it is because of your love for us why we will have eternal life someday and it is in your name I pray
Amen

Manika,
Though it's been over 8 years since
you were taken from us, it still seems like yesterday your bubbly hello filled my ears.
You touched so many lives and filled them with your love - strangers, acquaintances, close friends, family.
The memories of your smiling face and the love we feel for you will never be lost.
We miss you dearly.

I did not know Manika - but on 9/11/02, I was given her name and picture on a heart as I sang a memorial service at Tilles Center. I wrote in this book then that I would remember her. I wanted you - her family and friends - to know I still think of her during the year and especially on this day. As I read the entries each year, I can see that her beautiful spirit continues on - and isn't that the most precious memorial to her that we can have. May peace and love fill your hearts and lives as you remember your dear one.

Dear Manika,
There was a 9/11 tribute in Eisenhower park a few weeks ago. Several of my co-workers and I volunteered to hand out 10,000 tulips to the families. I wanted to let you know that you were in my heart and thoughts :0)

Dearest Mona...
Its been so long..nearly 6 years have passed but there isnt a moment that passes where I don't think of you..of us..of all the dreams, all the conversations, all those moments where we would be silent just looking at each other..your impact on my life is so strong that whatever i do or have done, you have remained a large part of. A big reason for me to come to Bombay was that i know this was a big dream of yours...to be an actress..to entertain..to dance..Now your dreams live on with me. Jaan remember you always wanted me to come out with my own music album??..Well I'm happy to say that both of our wishes are coming true...I know whatever I've accomplished here is only b/c of you..Your creating those opportunities for me and making things happen. My love I know that you remain here with me and your family who all love you and miss you immensely. We have all moved ahead in our lives but you always remain in our thoughts. I still think about you everytime i see your favorite number 44 :) I also know that it was also you who sent Ruby in my life to look after me. You will forever remain in my heart and my mind and we will meet again..Keep dancing jaanu because for me you will forever remain my Star!

To the warm and wonderful Narula famiy and especially to my dear friend, Eva- I know that time can never heal the pain of losing a beautiful sister or a daughter like Manika. I remember her smile, her laughter, her beautiful hair and even how much more she loved Math than my subject-Social Studies. I came across a beautiful pen she brought me from when Eva visited India. I will cherish it always. I was so happy that both of you were in my class and shared your rich heritage with me. I am sure that God has brought Manika so near to him and that the years will bring peace to all those who loved her.

I was thinking about Manika today, as I do nearly everyday, when I stumbled upon this site. After reading the entries that were already written I felt an urge to share my story of Manika with all of you.... those that knew her well... and those who unfortunately did not. Manika was one of the most amazing and vibrant girls I have ever met. Her smile lit up every room and her laughter was contagious. We became friends soon after I moved to good ole Kings Park in elementary school and remained friends from then on. Luckily she only lived around the block from me so we saw each other A LOT... we did everything together... running to the bus... hanging out in the girls bathroom gossiping in between classes... skipping down the hallways at school arm and arm... sleepovers... and what ever else we ended up getting ourselves into. We shared lots of memories both of good times and of bad. But no matter what trials we encountered along our path we were always able lean on each other and find the strength we needed to overcome them and continue on.
We ended up going our seperate ways for college though, but even across the many miles that seperated us we still remained close. We didn't talk everyday or even very often.. but we had one of those friendships that no matter how much time has passed since we had last talked it was like nothing had ever changed. Manika is one of the dearest friends I will ever have... and that I can ever imagine having. I have never since found another friend like Manika...she was like my other half... and in many ways I miss her dearly. But what truly keeps me going is knowing that she is not truly gone... but rather is still here with us in spirit... in our memories and in our hearts.
~Ironically, the final words Manika had written in my yearbook were "I think that leaving you will be one of the most difficult things that I will ever do.... and I want you to know that I love you a lot." ... how true.... I love you dearly... and I always will!!! I will never forget you!!!
To Mr. & Mrs. Narula and Eva,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I know what a close and loving family you were and I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this has been on you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers always. I wish you all the best... and hope you are all doing well.

First of all I want to send my prayers to Manika's family. My heart goes out to them. I worked with Manika on the 101st floor of the North Tower in the World Trade Center. I was on my way to work when the plane hit. Manika, I miss you so much and you will forever be in my heart and soul. You always greeted me with your radiant smile and always said the right words to brighten up my day. I'll never forget the times we would hit the clubs on Thursday's after work, or just go out for a drink. You made my days at Cantor Fitzgerald so much fun. I thank God everyday for allowing me to meet you. May God keep your soul safe and warm for eternity and I will cherish the fun times we had together. I remember on my birthday, you were the only one that cared enough to buy me flowers and that beautiful shirt. I miss you dearly but I know we will see each other again in another place and time. God Bless you Manika.

I can't believe you are gone. I had known you since the age of 2. We lived next door, and went through elementary through high school together. Even though we lost touch in college, I would always come home on weekends and wonder what you were up to. That day of the attacks was absolutely horrible. You never realize how much you take something as simple as a wave hello and a smile for granted. I see your parents all the time and my heart breaks. I forget sometimes that I am not going to see you on your front stoop talking on the phone.. You will never be forgotten..
And to your parents, sister and family-
My family and I , keep you in our thoughts and prayers forever. You will never be forgotten.

There are no words to express the deepest sympathy for Manikas family. I have known Manika and have been blessed to share her friendship for many years beginning in elementary school throughout highschool and though after graduation we went on our own ways to live life, I do cherish every moment we were friends. Never was there a frown or and unkind word from Manika. She truly is a unique soul, who is now in a better place at rest and in peace. You will never be forgotten.

I have never been more affected by someone who I did not know more than this girl. When I first saw her and that beautiful smile, I was curious to see what her friends had to say about her. I was really taken back and very inspired by what wonderful comments her friends had said about this young woman. Even though, I never met her, I feel really sad to see someone so sweet and affectionate towards everybody have to go at such a young age. The people who knew her were truly blessed. Reading those tributes about Manika has had a huge influence on me on how I should live my life and treat others in general. This girl has influenced me more than anyone ever has in my life and that is not a lie. I find myself wanting to know more about her and if its possible for her friends to e-mail me just to talk about her life. It would be nice to maybe have a web-site or something about her to show other people how wonderful she was. I'm sure it will influence and inspire them as much as it did to me.

Although I never had the privelidge to meet Miss Manika Narula, reading all these tributes from her friends and aquaintances is the greatest legacy anyone can ever have. She truly has touched so many lives. For her to leave a positive impression on people who she only met once says a lot about a person. I'm sure she was a genuinely vibrant person always caring and always giving. She was one of a kind. My heart truly goes out to the friends and family who knew Manika. She cannot be replaced and will be missed dearly. I pray that God is taking care of her as well as she took care of others around her. I pray that her spirit and soul is alive and well and that one day she will be reunited with all that knew her well. God Bless

Manika, I did not know you, but you are in my heart and prayers. I will never forget the horror of that day and what you must have gone through. We will never be able to change that, but I wish I could. I would do anything to turn back the clock and somehow stop it before it all even started. I think of all of you each day and I cry, feeling the pain each day I live. You will never be forgotten.

Where to begin...all that comes to my mind is that this is not fair. I was told by someone that God always takes the good people first..and this just proved it. But why did God have to do this to show us that Mona was a good person...we all knew that already.
Mona ALWAYS had a smile on her face. She had such an awesome personality, which brought such happiness to everyone she met. Wherever she is, I hope she knows that we all miss her terribly and that she made a big difference in everyones life she touched.
I dont know why this happened. So many people died for nothing. Its just not fair.....

I met Manika in Stony Brook during her freshman year. I graduated that year & then next i saw her picture on the net & couldn't believe that she parished on 09/11. I work near the WTC & saw what happened that day. She was sweet, very pleasant & always happy. As Billy Joel sang "only the good die young". May her soul rest in peace. My sincere condolences to her family & friends.

My name is Tara Khan, I did not know Manika Narula, but my friend was a friend of Manikas cousin. One of my close friends from NJ called me and told me about Manika and how she saw her picture and how she thinks I resemble Manika. I did not think much of it until I saw this picture, I thought it was a picture of me. It's amazing. I am also 23, black hair and 5'6. I just wanted to share my coincidence. My heart and blessings go out to Manikas family and all those who lost a loved one in the September 11, 2001 attack.

Manika,
I don't know where to begin. It took me a long time to realize that you really were not here anymore. I keep on thinking that it just a horrible dream but it isn't. You always said you wanted to help me with my wedding plans, and now its around the corner and I can't stop thinking about you. I think you were more excited then I was!! You are always on my mind, whether it be the memories of when we worked together in the Roth Quad Office, or when you used to thread my eyebrows everyday. (And how long it took you to teach me how to thread my lip myself), every time I thread myself I think of you. You are truly missed by me and I'm sure by everyone that ever met you. You have touched a lot of people and I know that you are in heaven watching down on all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. GOD BLESS!!!
I love and miss you dearly....fe

Time can go by so quickly. It felt like only yesterday when we would hang out in the dorms of Stony Brook University. I would see you do your performences at the SAC center.You were a wonderful friend & I thank GOD that He gave me the opporunity to be your friend. You were radiant & continue to be a shining star. I miss you greatly & it is hard to believe that you are gone. I know that up there in Heaven you are making people smile & laugh & that you will always be the shining star glowing down upon us. My prays go out to your family.

To the family & friends of Manika: On 9/11/02, I was one of hundreds of singers at the Tilles Center where we sang Mozart's Requiem as part of a worldwide commemoration. Each singer was given a heart with the name of some lost last year, so they could sing in memory of someone. I got Manika. When I got home that day, I went online to see if I could find out anything about her & found this. What a beautiful face, and all those beautiful sentiments written by those who knew her. At only 22 yrs, she must have been an incredible person - a real blessing from God to all whose lives she touched. Now, may you always find her in the warmth of the sun, the twinkling of a star, the coolness of a rainfall & the singing of a bird. I will keep her picture with me, and think of her and pray for all of you.

May her legacy live on....

Dearest Manika,
I am at a loss for words as of what to say... There has not been a single day that has gone by that I have not thought about you and your family..You have been in my dreams, thoughts and prayers..I will always remember the fashion shows and all our dances. There is always something that reminds me of you, be it a song we did together or just a random thought. If I was granted one wish..I would wish you were alive and with us again. My heart goes out to Eva and your mom and dad. They miss you with all their heart.. They are incomplete without you. We all are. I hope god is taking personal care of you! I am so sorry this happened to you.. My thoughts and prayers are forever with Eva and your parents. Love you and miss you dearly

I had met Manika thru my sister's bestfriend. The few times I met her she was either always smiling or laughing. She was beautiful outside and in. She was the epitome of a bubbly personality. I think of you often Manika and of your family.
My deepest sympathies go to your family and especially your sister.
You touched so many lives in so little time. The world is definitely emptier without you.
God Bless you !

You were one of my best friends at Stony Brook. You were always happy and made everyone around you feel the same. You are one of those genuinely nice people that is so rare to find these days. It's been a year already, and I still miss you. Reading your guestbook, you touched a lot of lives and I feel glad that I was one of them. I will never forget you.....

It's been 7 months and I still miss you. Growing up with you was so much fun. You were my little sister that I loved taking care of. Any & every Hindi song reminds me of you – forever dancing, laughing, and making us smile!! I loved answering your inquisitive questions about India, love, marriage etc. You are missed daily –in our hearts, in our tears and in our laughter ‘cause it’s just not the same without you. Your family misses you oh so dearly!
Following are words from The Geeta(these words always helps us):
..Just as the Atma/soul acquires a childhood body, a youth body, and an
old age body during this life, similarly Atma acquires another body
after death.
..The Atma/soul is neither born nor does it die at any time, nor having
been it will cease to exist again. It is unborn, eternal,
permanent, and primeval. The Atma/soul is not destroyed when the body is
destroyed
..Just as a person puts on new garments after discarding the old
ones, similarly Atma/soul acquires new bodies after casting away the old
bodies
..Weapons do not cut this Atma, fire does not burn it, water does not
make it wet, and the wind does not make it dry. (2.23)
..This Atma cannot be cut, burned, wetted, or dried up. It is
eternal, all pervading, unchanging, immovable, and primeval. (2.24)
..The Atma/soul is said to be unmanifest, unthinkable, and unchanging.
Knowing this Atma/soul as such you should not grieve. (2.25)
Love you hon!! You will always be with us – always smiling, laughing!!

I am from Kings Park where Manika grew up. We both graduated from the same high school only I was a few years older. Though I did not know Manika personally my deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends. She is one of God's angels now.May God help you get through your pain.

Dear Manika, I hope you can hear me and all of us who knew you so close. It took me 6 months to find out that you are no longer with us. The fact that you are no longer with us makes me sad, but most importantly very angry towards all those responsible. I have no words, but I just want to thank you for all those happy moments that we spent together whether studying for the exams or just hanging out. I want you to know that you will NEVER be forgotten and you will always be dear in our hearts!

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

I'm nine years old, and my sister is 21, so I wanted to write about Manika Narula who was only 22. I just wanted to say that I wish nobody died. I hope that Manika is happy wherever her spirit is now. I wish I knew more about her, because maybe Manika could even be a boy's name, but she was too young to die, and I will not forget her. If anyone has a picture of Manika, I hope they will put it on this site, so that I can remember better.
