……..the gift……

…..today I think I m going to write about the addiction ….
……yup…!
…..mah addiction to something called “rookie” …..
…..and my ohh my what an addiction……!
changed my sleeping pattern…..changed my seriousness…
….and its a serious kinda addiction !
…….but know what I kinda like it…..!
Mah only fan who appreciated for the first time mah kinda style of writing ……and I will for ever remain indebted to him …….he gave me the confidence that I too can be of worth something..……and for that I owe him a lot……a lot!


……ohh …come on…..

…..I should begin from the beginning……isn’t it …….?

So where do I begin……? Hummm……may be from the point
where I first scraped him for the first time……

I was then kinda new to orkut…and I was just browsing through …and I got stuck in somewhere, and I saw one profile having an interesting portrait…..amazing one…..a pencil sketch ……a portrait of a boy…….and then I went through the profile…
…..more interesting !
….hmmm…….!
Couldn’t believe anyone to be so versatile in the choice of books….! It kind of ranged from classics to the most complicated ones…….and moreover most importantly …….it kinda matched with my choice too….so I scrapped him……and the story begins…….!

I would be hopelessly lying if I would say that I was not exactly expecting a reply……
and that I got…..
and something more …..!
I got an immediate reply……and I thought …WOW….!
A friend in Hyderabad…yup ….that time I was there in Hyderabad…..and I was kinda missing my family…..so..I thought …why not…!

…believe me…I have a very bad habit of being impolite in the initial years…..but its something that I do unintentionally …so you can easily make out I was kind of unapproachable in my choice of topics to discuss about ….but still he was so polite and refined that no-matter-what-rubbish I used to scrap him, he never failed to reply me back….and that too in kind words …..!
Now ….! Can you get any better than this? ……nope !
....and I thought so too…..!
And I asked him…what you do…….and got the shock of my life….. ! …….He’s a KID !!!!!!!!!
Ohh Mah God ! And I was goofing around with a kid? …..a kid of half mah age????????
…… I was so ashamed, guilty with …esp. with bhanu’s continuous teasing…”oh mah god Bachendri ! come on now…he is a kid…..how can you ? how could you? ”
……now…as if its mah fault that I was not born a few years later or his fault that he is too late!
Is liking dependent on the year printed in your birth-certificate?
I never thought so….I have this belief that if ya like it, then do it! if ya like someone as your friend then, go ahead, make your friend, don’t wait for what others may assume or shout about !
But then again its my idea, my concept , mah theory …..and its not necessary that everyone has to believe it….!

But …that point ……it was just about being impressed by his courteousness …..
Liking was a hell lot later….leave alone addiction!

So, there he was ….with me, scrapping me regularly …..and as days turned into months, scrapping him kinda grew up as a habit…and then Bhanu left ! ! ! !
As I was there all alone, in my room , I sometimes used to wonder, whether I was doing the right thing or not……whether do I really like this what ever I m doing…..I hate to admit this ….it was a serious point in my life, where I knew if I stick around I will be going places, career-wise this is the best thing one can have, PhD , Dept of Space and all such stuff, I mean, not many get a chance to get into such things …..but…….the silliest part was that …I was not having fun…..silly I know…but I was not liking my work out there…people don’t work for fun…I know…but in case of me…I cant work if I don’t have the interest in the work……something I couldn’t make others realize…..and at that point I was really down…..so at that point I was in a fix….as to what to do …..
ohh…..leave it….this a whole new topic for another blog…

……...today’s topic is something different !

....mah whole point is that ….
at that moment…..I was kinda wobbly …..and then wham!
He hit me hard with his translation of Rabbi Sergil’s song” Tere Bin ” ….and boy o boy ! What a translation…….!
I was just bowled over….and I thought
…… he is really deep…!
……..I was amazed by his ability to cheer up someone even they are really down…. something that I sincerely envy about him!
The ability to make another person laugh is the greatest gift a man can have……..
and he has that gift and that too in tons!
……actually…… more than liking I used to envy him….
……..jealous of his ability…….
ability to translate any god-damm-serious thing into a joke……
envious of his youth,
envious about his talent in finding humor in almost everything ! something……..
that I seriously lacked but would die to have them !


so came around my another theory……...
’if ya cant win your enemy….make him your friend! ’
…even though he was not exactly my enemy ….. still I wanted him to be my friend….! and the chapter two began ! ………
and from here the trouble begins……..!

I m not exactly sure from which point…..or time…or place……he ceased to be just an orkutian ……..and came within mah kinda choice of people with whom I love to spend my time with ! ! ! ! !

Now the point comes to why ? why? why the hell?
Though a favorite question of mine….
yet I don’t have any answer to that!
……Bloody Hell!
……Still I don’t have the answer…….
or may be …
I don’t have any logical answer !

Illogical ?
Yes…..!!
Plenty…..!

Some of them will be …….
first and most important will be …..
he is fun to talk to !
……. I always roll in laughter when ever I talk to him…..he is mah daily dose of laughter-medicine !
…….Cant really live without medicine, can we?
……. Even mah neighbors are willing to give evidence that they too have felt the tremors ! and that too at unearthly hours !

…….and that he not serious about anything……
absolutely anything ….
….except for C’point of course….! how can I forget that ?
…….he is seriously serious about that @#$%^&*thing……
( cant blame him really ……I too m getting into the same hole….God help me……)
But him ?
Ohh Mah God ! he is beyond repair ! even God cant help him…….May be his “union territory” can….?
what do ya say, huh ?
………..and the fact that he is so very understanding and sensitive to other people’s feeling that sometimes I do wonder…….is he ? really ? don’t know ! God bless his tribe….!

…..and the thing that I really hate is that ….
why?
why ?
why will all the girls will fall for him?
I mean, what charm has he got?
just because he is humorous, intelligent, witty, caring, know things around, great in his work, informative, funniest punner the world has seen, gifted techie……..doesn’t make him so eligible that every girl to whom I talk about him…immediately falls for him?
I mean….. why? why?
Why is god so unfair? why is He is so partial towards some…..!

(….and God spoke……………look who’s complaining !.........)

well…….true ! ….cant complain much…!
.......after all …I m too enjoying his creation …isn’t it ?
and I m blessed to have a friend like him……mah buddy …Rookie !

and the most illogical reason for as to why I wrote this ‘hell-god-knows-what’ thing wasting mah time when I should have been preparing for mah journey……is that ….I will be missing him……missing him for a whole week !
(and that’s too much of a lie……Lord bless me!)




…..while I was watching TZP…one of the several thing that I realized is that …….the greatest gift of all ……is the one that brings a smile at the receiving end …………and the biggest ‘thank you‘ is that smile in return……and I hope the heir to this writing will read this with a smile to his face ! Coz that will be mah biggest thank you!
