But The Memory Remains!

Disclaimer: The inspiration of this story comes from a true event during my BITS stay, I have changed the names and other finer details. So, please refrain yourself from making any guesses about the person and other related stuff and just take it in a positive sense! :)

College Life, you say it and the first thing which comes in the mind is its unpublished synonym "Fun Life"! Well, the person about whom I am writing here also had his share of fun in his college life but then the word 'FUN' means different to different people.

Ronit Sharma - One among the toppers of UP Board! A feeble body, glowing face, friendly attitude and reluctant to talk to girls! I met him first in the Mathematics-I class and then, we became good friends and still are. He wasn't good at sports; played a subtle part in the defeat of his team in a cricket-cup semifinals, used to get some sprain in his fingers whenever tried to play Volleyball, though somehow he used to manage playing Tennis, TT and badminton. He wasnt a guy highly involved in some Club/Department's work and his acads were quite good but not so exceptional!

The story comes from the discussion we had in the night before leaving the campus after 3rd year exams. We both had to catch our buses early in the morning and after depositing beddings and other belongings, we had no other option than to sit in the hostel lawns. In that silent night, sitting with few packets of 'Lays' and bottles of 'Coke', we were having some casual discussion.

Me: Ronit, Tu ghar jaakar kya karne waala hai?

Ronit: Kuch socha to hai nahin. Doston se milungaa aur next sem placements ke liye bhi prepare honaa hai.

Me: Ohh yes!

(Then again the dark silence prevailed which was getting broken by the sounds of sipping the coke in and eating the chips..)

Me: (just to have some fun) yaar tu ek baat bataa, you always look so cheerful, how do you manage to be even after all these tensions?

Ronit: (smiling) To kya tu mujhe rote huye dekhna chahta hai?

Me: Aisa to kabhi ho hi nahin sakta naa.. tu kabhi roya bhi hai kya BITS mein?

Ronit: First time, when my parents were leaving this campus after our orientation. Thennn.. ya, once in those ragging sessions too. Anddd.. haan, ek baar aur, but usko lite le..

Me: arey bataa naa wo bhi..

Ronit: No yaar.

Me: Please....

(Finally he told it and then i realized what a person he is! It made me his fan and taught me few lessons for my life.)

TING: What?? Have you gone nuts? I will click you? You were telling yes'day that you are a great photographer. So, you do it!

(Roaming around in the Mountain View downtown with TING and TONG)
TONG: Hey Ting! Why are you turning right? Thats a damn gully! Just be on the main road.
(TING doesn't listen and keeps walking and TONG follows)
After sometime..
TING: Hey! I think, we are on some wrong path. Let's go back to the main road!
TONG: (Angry this time) When I was saying the same thing, you just dont give an ear! Now you are repeating the same shit!
ME: (To TONG) Gotcha! Finally you agreed that you speak nothing but some piece of shit!
(TONG gives some angry looks)
TING: (To Me) Give me a clap man!
(Both of us laughing!)

Receptionist: Are you guys working in the nearby office of google?
TONG: NO!
(After coming out)
TONG: Did you guys notice that?
ME: What?
TONG: I looked like a google employee to that lady! :)
TING: Hey! She just asked if you were working in google. I guess, your face resembles some sweeper in that nearby office! But you still have a reason to be happy. Even that is an honour for you! :D
(TING and ME laughing..)
----------------------------------------------->>>
Conv4:
(For Dinner in a chinese Restaurant...)
Chinese: (To TONG) Welcome! aap yahan se teesri table pe jaake baith sakte hain. hum thodi der mein aapse order lene aayenge.
TONG: (To us) Hey guys! I didn't understand a damn. What is he saying? I think, he is talking in Hindi. I dont know Hindi.
(After Listening that, Chinese spoke the same thing in Tamil too, and then..)
TONG: Hey, I understood now. Did you guys see the tamilian strength in USA?
(TING and ME looking at each other's faces!)
ME: Embarassing!!!
------------------------------------------------>>>
Conv5:
(At lunch Table in nth street cafe, Nvidia, SC)
ME: Hey Ting! Did you get a haircut done today?
TING: Yes! I did.
ME: Thats it. You know, The nvidia's share prices are proportional to the length of your hair. It got decreased today because of your haircut.
TING: Ohh! is it so? Dude! you might have told it to me before.
TONG: No use! It is actually inversely proportional to the length of my hair. And as now, I am totally bald, there is no hope for Nvidia! Ha ha haaa...
TING: Ohh.. If it is so, then I can still see some hair on your hands! Madhu, we have a hope.
(TING and Me laughing and TONG just looking around..)

Independence Day!

They say, it is our 60th independence day! And then they celebrate it! and HOW??

Change your orkut profile photos to india-flag (After all we want to show our unity!) Very nice way, isn't it??

Then they start the polls in various communities. Are you proud to be an INDIAN?? Everyone says 'YES'. Wow! Great people of great country!

C"mon Guys, Get Some Life. Every person in this entire world is proud of their own country! So what great are we doing being proud of our country. Everybody has reasons to justify the glory of their country, so do we. But just think, Are we really united?? Are we really doing something to make the mark of our country in the world?

Let me just tell you a short incident happened with me on our this 60th independence day..

(Having a communication with an INDIAN in my office at SC, USA. I am not telling the name of the person for the obvious reasons. Let me call him 'TING')

ME: Hi TING, How r u?

TING: Gud! tell me.

ME: I understood that where the things are going wrong in the implementation done but still, it doesn't justify the way the system is behaving! Do you have any ideas?

TING: I do have some hazy thoughts that few guys at bangalore were trying to understand the same thing earlier but they couldn't, probably they were having some other priorities that time. you can ask them. Have a con call tonight with them.

ME: ohh! but tonight it won't be possible.

TING: WHY??

ME: It is our independence day and in india, we have a holiday for that.

TING: Ohh.. It is 15th august!! Okkk

(ME just wondering and looking at his face)

ME: Ok! i will have the con call the next day. Happy Independence day! It is already 15th in INDIA.

TING: (Just smiles, no response!)

So, this is just one incident. Guys! people are leaving our country.. and then they just dont remember it! Even the one who are in INDIA, never get a time to do something for the country and we are happily proud of our country.

Lets take an oath to do something to make our country great such that not only INDIANS but other nationalites also admire our country!!

Jai Hind!
