Behti Kyun Hai Har Nadi?
Hoti Kya Hai Roshni?
Barf Girti Hai Kyun?
Dost Kyun Hain Roothte?
Taare Kyun Hain Tootate?
"SOCHA HAI??????????????????????????"
You must be wondering why I have quoted this amazing song here? I just wanna lay emphasis on "Dost Kyun Hain Roothte" line of this stanza...and wanna write about one such Rootha hua Dost of mine...a person who defined selfless friendship for me.....a person who stood by my side in my toughest phase...a person who comforted me when i needed it most...a person who even got a hit on his face to save me...a person who even now remains my closet friend in-spite of this Rootha hua phase between us..
I had decided to get a degree in Geology and then go in for petroleum technology as the petro dollars appeared to be a very mouth watering option as even then I was quiet crazy about "hari patti" I got my self admitted in the Geology Department of one of the best colleges in India.
My class then comprised of students who had different subject groups in first two years of graduation and there were quiet a few unknown faces in the class...amongst those unknown faces this face was quiet strongly felt by everyone including me...This tall guy with sharp features,specs and beard appeared to be very rude to all of us..and unfortunately this rude G-14 (his roll number)thats all I knew about him then, came in to my practical batch and we were asked to do topography maps and something very boring stuff together. As I was very bad in it I asked G-14 that will he help me in getting that boring thing done and his answer to my surprise was "YES".
As he was gonna help me in completing maps, this rude G-14 appeared to me like a angel.
During that practical we got to know each others names and our earlier subject groups he had a very tough group CPMG (Chem, Physics, Maths and Geo) as compared to mine CBZG (Chem, Botany, Zoo and Geo). We shared our practical books but apart from his name and earlier subject groups I didnt know anything about this rude G-14.
Then came the day of our welcome in the department...on 14th August 2000 our department staff organised a welcome party for all of us who were a part of the millennium batch.. all of us were stunned when this Rude G-14 who was closely involved in making all the arrangements got up with a collection of some of his Poems and presented them....His poetry was simple but it was very sensitive..straight from the heart and very clear....After the program I went to him and told him that he is not only good in topography but he is also a amazing poet...This was the moment which sparked our friendship......
Our friendship grew, we got quiet close to each other. As I was suffering from a "heart break" that time, his sensitive poetry appeared to me as representative of my state of mind....This was the time when he gave the funda of "Tal Sukha hai megh nahi..." He was very clear about his own perceptions and feelings. He helped me come out of my so called "heart break".....
We spent a lot of time together..discussing everything possible under this sun from politics to cricket and from career to girls,...this G-14 who appeared to be very rude prima facie infact turned out to be very sensitive, caring and understanding person and became my closest buddy...
As they say time never stops for anyone it didnt stop for us either...we finished our graduation ..by the end of which I was very sure about not pursuing a career in anything related to Geology and I moved on in search of my own world where as he remained in the same field and achieved what we dreamt of together a Master's Degree in Petroleum Technology and got into a high paying job.. I went on to meet my best half and then subsequently to Legal field which turned out to be a field which I just loved...but even then our friendship remained the same and apart from our careers nothing changed.....Nothing changed till one moment our friendship became a pray of differences of opinions and misunderstandings and we landed in the "Rutha Hua" phase.....which has continued till date...
We have moved on, I don't even know his where abouts now, but this Rude G-14 continues to remain my closest buddy on whom I can rely on even now...I'm sure this Sensitive Poet will continue to exist in my life till the time we find out the answer to "Dost kyon hai Ruthate"......
