Prolific Blogger And Twitter Bigwig Idd Salim Is Dead!

Last night the internets rend the news that twitter bigwig and blogger Idd Salim had passed on in a hospital from T.B (tuberculosis) and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. While I do not know Idd salim personally, I knew he was full of life and he was a huge Ghafla reader, quick to share his disdain whenever he felt the writers had let him down by making what he considered to be school boy errors.

And we clashed on several occasions because i did not necessarily agree with the way he chose to air his sentiments but I dare say there was mutual respect between us which he often told Baba Ghafla about.

And even without meeting him I have been saddened by his death. We at Ghafla wish to express our sincerest condolences to his family and friends. may his soul rest in eternal peace.
