Hi All,
This is my first blog and I want to share some of my memorable feelings with you all. This blog is dedicated to all my friends who have helped and guided me through out my life.
The first name that comes to my mind is Jitu... my best friend.
Its about 20 years we have been best friends. We were friends since class 3 (1990). I was new to this school(S.C.B Medical Public School) where I met him. At that time the guys used to make friendship based on marks. The top scroring guy would make his friend circle among the top scoring guys and so on. I was poor in studies, very shy, non-talkative......you can also say an inactive dumb student. We used to seat alphabetically and Jitu was sitting beside me. That time he was an average student. That time he was a better student than me but he was something different.... he made friends regardless of marks.
I was wondering with whom I should make friends. Jitu was the first who made frienship with me. Later on I had many friends of my category (excluding the top scorer). Gradually as time passes away our friendship grow much stronger.
In this friendship we started sharing a lot of things ...We often shared company to the school,we shared our lunch... i even shared his knowledge and intelligence during our exams. Even with all his help in the exams..i was sure of myself failing in one of the exams in class 6.To skip all the beating,i decided to run away from my place.
I want to share a particular event with you all which bonded our friendship more stronger.
That time we were in class 6 and our final exam results were to be out. I was very much afraid bcuz i was thinking that i will be detained. I planned to run away from home to get rid of bittings and scoldings from papa and mama. I said this to jitu, and he said that he will also go with me. The next day I went to jitu's house and asked him "Had you packed you things ?". We should move now.
He said no!!!! not yet packed. I was angry on him as we were getting late. He explained me not to leave home like this. He tried his best to brain wash all my evil thoughts. That time he was behaving as a much matured guy who have a lot of experience about life in him. That time I was very angry so I took his words lightly and without saying anything returned back to home. I was scolding him .....maan hi maan mein "Dost ne dhokha de dia....".
That day I couldn't sleep well bcuz of result fear. The next day I recalled what jitu had explained me. I got his point and make up my mind not to leave home like this. If I failed in the exam I will again bounce back with success. Luckly I heve cleared the exam and was promoted to class 7.
I thank GOD ...that I have such a good friend with me. I pray God that He should give every one a friend like Jitu so that further no student will ever leave his/her home or commit suicide becaause bcuz of exam stress.
In my school days I have seen good time as well as bad time and Jitu was there with me all the time.
Till today he used to advice me in taking necessary decisions. He is the one who taught me what is realfrienship?.
Next the name is MIHIR....the Financer.
I was in class 9 and that time I had my own group of friends which include mihir, sumit, dheeraj, subasish, debasish, arvind, ajit, satyajit, subrat etc. Those days I started going to our shoe shop just to assisst my DAD. I can say I was a fressher and was going for training. After my probabtion period of about 6-7 months I thought that I will also put some goods in out shop and make some profit out of it. That time I didn't much money with me. Those days I and MIHIR ussed to discuss our studies. I told mihir about my ideas and he said he had only Rs 400 with him. I started my partnership business with my DAD with Rs 400. It was my 1st business plan thaat I though and implemented it. I rotated my profits and within 1-2 years I had goods which cost around Rs 50,000. Mihir was the guy who has helped me in implementing my ideas into real.
Next name is Sunil Swamy (sendu babu)
I usually call him as sendu babu. We were college friends (+2). He is an unusual character that I have met guy like him in my entire life. He has a different thinking about relationship. One of the funniest thing about him is that......he will not eat or take any thing from his friends bcuz it will become a karz for him. But most often he used to pay for me. When I used to asked him that "Now you have paid for me and making me your karazzzdar ......", he will only gives a shy smile. In year 2001 I had joined in SSI as a lab faculty. There I liked a girl called maya (name chnaged) but was hesitating to tell her about my feelings. It was the time of HOLI and I came to know that she is going to her native town for 10 days the next morning. I could not resist myself. I was dessperate to inform her about my feelings.
I thought this is the right time to inform her about my feelings. She will also get some time to think about this. I discuss about this with sunil asked him to help me in this. I know that among all my friends Sunil is the guy who can do this work for me. I asked him to follow her and get her PG address and he agreed.
I asked Sunil to come near the institute sharp at 4:30 pm bcuz maya's class will be over at 5 pm. I said like this bcuz I don't want sunil to be late atleast for 2day. I peeped from the window around 4:35pm and saw he was standing near the cycle stand. I was overjoyed...it seems 2day our mission will be successful. After the class was over maya left the class. As per our plan sunil followed Mamata to locate her PG. After 30 mins he called me and we both moved towards maya's PG. I have already instucted sunil to stay near by me. I was very nervous and bad thoughts were arsing in my mind....may be getting scolding and bitting from their neighbours .... some one should be there to take me to hospital. So keeping sunil as backup. I called maya and explained her about my feelings. she didn't said a word. She was listening to me silently. The 3 words she said was "Good night SIR". I was wondering whether the night will be really good or bad. The next day I got +ve resposnse. She called me from a STD booth from JAJPUR (a place on her way to native town), I was feeling out of the world.
Next comes CHAKRA, SRIKANT, AMIT (MCA friends)
All of these 3 are totally different from each other but we four have a good bonding among us. In our MCA batch all our teachers have to give examples of frienship considering ME, Chakra and srikant. We used to do evening party every day @my room. Here every day we gather for our studies. It was a great time having fun with them. I have been out of my native since last 3 years, and any kind of help is needed at home I can rely on chakra. He is really a cool dude with a good humour.
Next comes Prasanna, Mahesh, Subrat, Ballu Bhai (Bangalore friends)
On 2nd feb 2007 @6:45pm I reached b'lore in search of job. Jitu and prasanna had come to receive me. Prasanna, Mahesh (pyaar se baccha bulate hain), Subrat (dada) were all jitu's college friends. Jitu had taken the responsibility of mine. The no of days I spend with all these guys in bangalore are really a good time. They never let me know that I am only jitu's friend. I was mixed with them like we know each other from years. I had an allergy with bus travelling. Prasanna would give his bike to me and used to say "Aish kara bhaina...". All of them used to call me Bhaina ... Prasanna is the man behind me for whom I got my 1st job. He used to scold me whenever I do things wrong or don't concentrate on my preparation to crack an interview. I am a foodie. When ever these guys goes out side with their friends or on some occasion, they always used to bring chunk foods for me. At that time I was searching the job and had no source of income. These guys have taken proper care of mine and never let me know that any kind of help or favor they are doing. I miss you all.
Next comes Saurabh, Saleem, Gaurav, Anant(ektoo), Varun
Saurabh and I joined Belzabar on the same day. He always guide me when I pronounce incorectly or say something in a a wrong way. Saleem has helped me technically a lot in Belzabar.I appreciate his help. Anant..the Ektoo (Ektoo name give by me) is a nice guy, good at heart. Sometime I use to make fun of our Ektoo bhai but he never took it seriously...rather he always said good about me and adviced me. Varun..the SEMS lead.... very hardworking and helpfull. I had learnt a lot of technical tips from him. Gaurav...the gyani baba..always boosted with good moral thoughts. He is a guy who has the ability to build up confidence in one's mind and make him think as a achiever not a looser.
I feel my self very lucky to have all these friends with me.
