A Small Damn World....

From time immemorial the only slogan that comes out during any farewell is , "Don't worry World is small, we will bump into some time"....i don't know how many have actually realized this and even i didn't believe this and pushed it off as a mere formality until last month..very interesting event...

One of my close friend 'Chap' had an email/chat friend by name "P", they shared and still share a very professional relationship. I happened to talk to her over email couple of years back and we found that most of our ideas match, so we continued our email chats...not  knowing us much,not seeing each other,not talking to each other, but was very happy to tell that we were friends...

The Occasion was Dada's wedding(now who is Dada, Sach, my classmate in BE and we call him dada as a respect to his figure :) ), Me 'Chap' and others are having dinner...i see a lady walking upto Chap than tap him on the back and begin a very enthu conversation..i was wondering who is this lady...??

All of a sudden she says " you must be 'N' from 'T' my employer..now how did she guess that...a that....a small history...
While 'C' was talking to her, i saw a familiar face next to me and I called him Hey 'V' what are you doing here..?? then came the voice from 'P' , which i can't forget "You must be 'N' from 'T'...
Well the lady is 'P' and the person whom i addressed is 'V' who is my colleague in my company.

Here I am talking to a lady over email for more than 2 years
Here I am bumping into a guy, know him well for more than 1.5 years...but what is the relation..."They are married and happy couple"....Wow...I can't really stop admiring the incident...and you know what I am crazy happy to narrate this to whom all I see....

"The World is infact Damn Small....it is a small damn world"...
how fitting this is told in all farewell events..i realized the importance then....a statement which was impotent to me till then is suddenly important..

Very Sweet day made more special by this event.....
Now i know who is "P" and who is "V"...infact i know both of them don't I....

Long Wait for the Last Meet..

Sometimes life is as sweet as cherry
But as cruel as anything one can imagine...
I had this childhood Dosth, John and belive me we were chaddi dosths, the word we use for close friends, we got seperated due to compulsion of time..but we resurfaced when I was doing my 11th, my God what a day we met, we being hardcore cricket lovers, it was fun watching India thrashing Lanka in the 99 world up, I still remember the way we watched the match in a cycle shop.
Life seemed so sweet the, we kept meeting more often.
One day I met him in a movie hall, am cinema buff and would not mind going alone if the movie is of my kind. I love Maniratnams' creations, I thought we were alone, then comes the surprise, he is married, a love marriage and he introduces his wife, life seemed to be uncertain but still sweet.
The only repent I have is not visiting his home.
we kept meeting near but not at his home, I still remember his thoughts on going for an outing.
All of a sudden our meeting stopped, but we were touch in phone. He kept cribbing he wanna meet, I postponed and finally asked him to come home on a wednesday, he say nope he will come home on sunday.
Life was still sweet...
Then on sunday, I am bathing my brother screams anna John in D***....!! I am like what it can't be..we decided to meet today and how he can go...I did not believe.
I called my relatives and friend to confirm and they did the worse..confirmed the news to me.
Now we dont know his home, only know the locality where he was staying, decided to go not a man hunt but on a soul hunt....we found a place which was very sober and realised its his home.
Man there he lies inside a coffin
Man there he lies with a lie when he said he will meet me
The truth was I met him
But he cant realise the what happened...he is lying in total peace
He is sleeping for eternity
He is taking rest for all his body suffered endless pain...
He passed away of Kidney failure.....whats worse he orphans his two young daughters....
I pray(i feel shameless only that is possible from me) that his soul rests in peace, his family can bear his loss, his daughters can reach good heights....
I miss you JOHN...
Why the hell we did not meet early
May be to give you a last send off.....
That was a cruel treatment to me.....
Life could never be so cruel,he was 30..Life can never be so cruel.. than i felt ...
John, there was a LONG WAIT FOR THE LAST MEET......:(
You take rest and have peacful heavenly life...
Your Chaddi Dosth : Naveen
Dai Miss you DAAA............
