I vaguely remember, but yeah, we met in 2005. He was almost a year younger to me, but matured enough to handle me and my silly mistakes, well not really tiny or silly; usually they were huge & heavy for my age.
He is Unique & Dynamic, Strong & Stubborn. He observes a lot and checks all the possibilities. If you tell him anything, he will ask you at least 100 questions to analyze the root cause.
I call him a wonderful cat. My day was never fulfilled without a call or a meet. I still remember each and everything we did together. Dinner, shopping, sharing thoughts,movies, discussing various topics, walks on the shores of Besant Nagar, little fights, arguments etc.,
I have never seen him just as a friend; he was more of my brother, philosopher and a mirror. I used to bug him like anything. I have created my own problems. It was I who did all those mistakes. Nevertheless I understood his moods. I just let it go out of my mind, whatever it was. Still, he was patient enough to listen. He analyzed and made me do things correctly, but did I do it? Did I follow? Nope. I didn’t. I was always playful. Despite of his efforts to make me stubborn and strong, I was just silly and too weak to take it up.
He really tried to make me calm down when I go high and out of my minds. Especially after my break up, it was very often; I created my own problems and made his life very miserable. Every day I bugged him with different issues. I come up with different emotions. But, I called him, an emotionless idiot.
How childish I was? Rubbish I have been to call him that. He tried a lot to stay back and bring peace in my life. I just started my career. He advised to go on with my career and to move on. Did I? How would I have when I was in such a mindset?
I could have been more practical. Poor I’m. Always stayed inside the circle, and made him sink in my issues. I never understood, there are more valuable things in him to continue the friendship between us. I always needed him the most and wished to not to see him ever again. Though I did each and every mistake, I just targeted him to get escaped. Going forward at one point of time, I just dumped him.
Though we are in touch again, it is not as usual as we were before. I know we can’t be as same how we used to be, but I’m happy that once in a while, very occasionally we are speaking over the phone. Even now it is I who speaks a lot, and he is just listening and observing.
Was he just a Friend or a Mirror?

Live, Let Live
Every day is a new learning.
Start the day with a fresh mind. When you wake up in the morning, Just grab a cup of coffee and stand in your balcony and look at the people in the street. Women selling and buying vegetables, negotiates a lot and little gossiping, discussion on yesterday’s episode of never ending mega serials, Men sitting on their door steps and reading papers or pretending to show this World that they are very much into current topics, Children waiting for ricks/bus and youngsters preparing for School/College, sneaking into the neighbors and asking for little things, etc……. We should not miss these lively happenings. It is indeed fun to watch different mannerisms and behaviors of your neighbors and some third person.
When you travel to work, out in the roads, there are people do cross the traffic rules. Everyone has to reach on time. Isn’t it everyone’s duty to follow such rules and to drive safely? Jam packed metro buses, fully loaded school vans/ ricks, undisciplined pedestrians crossing the roads and jumping the barricades, are they safe? No way at all. It may be for just a minute, but yes, it is a life threatening and unacceptable behavior.
When we reach the workplace, we would be totally lost and frustrated with the pollution and tiredness. It definitely impacts the work. There are very few people who know to avoid these circumstances, but are they middle level employees? No, they are either top level management or high class business people or celebrities.
When you return home, you have to face all these once again and when you reach home crossing this same old problems which cannot be solved, you will definitely have lost your temper and will show it on your family.
How can we come across these problems? It is just simple; you just have to respect yourself and others properly. Obey the rules to the best of your knowledge. Be polite to people. Know the ethics and values of life. If you know how blessed we are as human beings, and then I’m very sure you will definitely understand, that this is the only life we have to live KINGSIZE.
Say sorry and thanks for even a small thing. You will not be dragged down from your position. Rather think proudly that you have accepted your mistake and feel happy that you have appreciated someone. Definitely it will make your morale to rise up to the maximum and motivate you and your surroundings.
Spread love and restrict enmity. Life has to go on. When you take the life as it comes, you will face it bravely and confidently and yes, you are the winner. You have solutions for everything. If you do not know what can be done to your own life to make it happy, how can you make your family running day to day?
Ask yourself truly and frankly, every day before you go to Bed, did I learn anything new or just ignored the experience of learning. There you realize, what you have earned, learned or deserved and also what you have lost and ignored.
Live and Let Live.
Love,
