Speaking Tree

We first met on a website that stays on as our addiction even today. Although, I knew him as a senior earlier but to him I was just a new prey coming in… to entertain.

A few days after I arrived at the jungle, let me make it very clear here itself that I consider NIFT as the jungle. So, a few days after I arrived at the jungle, I got to know that the same guy was trying to contact me. After exchanging contact numbers online, I finally met him one fine day. He was just like another lion in this wild jungle; and I say so because I had met the other one a few days earlier. And if you trust me, then i will take the opportunity to open out that today they both seem like pussycats. Anyways, after a meet with the second king of the jungle, I had a fair idea of how this place works (or not works). "NIFT is a political mess" were my exact words to the second king. Fortunately, the king took it positively and did not bitch or back bite me about this issue or for that matter of fact, any other issues too. I respect and appreciate all the pains he took to explain how NIFT is NOT a political mess (but somehow I still feel- it really is). From then on, the king met me and my friend almost everyday, not to rag but to encourage to participate in the upcoming college fest.

The fest came and went by in a snap. And during this course, I grew closer to the king. But a day arrived when the king took the decision to rule at some new place because there was just one more king coming in. That day, when fate was to decide what would happen, I realized how close I was to him, how much did I regard him as someone really close to me in this big wild world. He was like a family away from family. He made this jungle a home for me, and I was happy…

I was in my class, unable to concentrate. There was a weird sense of stillness in the air and equally weird was a sensation in my heart which felt as though someone was twisting it... knotting it. My phone vibrated ‘One message received’. Without much interest, I read those words "I have decided to stay” I-HAVE-DECIDED-TO-STAY… which meant that he did not leave. Mann, I was so glad! The knot that had been squeezing my heart out since morning lightened a bit. I felt extremely happy.

A few days later, “Kal rakhi hai, kya tum mujhe rakhi bandhogi?”

Love you Bhaiya - always and forever you have been to me what no one has, to me you are my world, my life. I find it difficult to breathe if you are not breathing with me… There ain't a moment inf my life that has passed by without your thought nor has there been any occasion that I wished to celebrate without you.
Love you Bro! You are the best!
