To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
~Thomas Campbell
I had been thinking a lot for the past few months to resume writing, never occurred this could be one of the reasons I’ll start again. :( :)
I met a guy, in the year 2006 (MCA Batch 06-09), AMITY University. He was like any other Ordinary guy. At first sight, thanks to his physical attributes, he seemed as if someone hasblown the air out of him. Lean, dark....I remember he used to come on his dad's scooter
to college ...hahaa I used to wonder, in this age where guys would die hard to earn a bike
from their parents since anything less than that will make them feel out casted, this dude
used to come to college on his scooter to write his exams.
I hardly knew him, but yes, this guy had the charm of letting people know of his presence.
Could talk for hours for anything relating to laptops, its configuration, hardware, battery etc.
Energetic and always willing to help you, if you ever came up with a problem provided it should
be relating to any of the topics written above. ;)
I recall when one of my friends, had a problem with her "AMITY PROVIDED HP laptop's battery", and he was the first one to give her suggestions and telling her to give it to him, so that he could get it repaired. GOD KNOWS WHAT FUN HE HAD IN THAT!!!....pata nai kya karta tha!!!...
But haan he had a wierd interest of repairing everything!!!....I used to consider him some kind of techie who loves junks related to computers.
I used to wonder looking at his group, some people on this heavenly earth are just born as bookworms.They'll just dissolve the letters of the book into their blood, and then feel elevated when rewarded with some 2 digit no.'s (of course the 2 digit number shunt be less than First Division!!!)...
I still consider them wierdosss....... heeee....jokes apart!!!..
Well actually this is the thing about this guy, never seen him tense....u know that mantra (Tension lene ka nai reee,dene kaaaa....) ..... a gay person :)
When i used to see him talking, seriously speaking not even a single word uttered from his mouth was ever registered in my mind, for he talked quiet fast.... I always had to ask him to repeat....
It was irritating...but yet....IT WAS TOTALLY "HIM".......
One more incident I recall is of our 4th sem exams. ohhh!!!...I guess that was the first time he gathered all his guts, to use a paper to cheat in exam (I guess)!!! Very unlike him....hun!!!
I was wondering before the answer sheets were given whether he would be able to succeed in what he had planned or not????!!!!!!
I could see him trying hard to mask his tension, nervous, panic with a very straight look!!!!....funny was that!!!
Either the invigilator had to be really dumb or really experienced/smart to have noticed him!!!!...
But as was destined, all of a sudden the invigilators came racing onto our room, as if they were on some kind of mission for which they would be respected and rewarded high.....(well no one bothered to give them any!!)
They came barging till they reach the end of the class ..... (where he was sitting, onto my left). As they started their monkey acts (turning the answer sheets upside down, opening up the pencil boxes as if they are looking at them for the first time in life, under the bench, here there, looking rather gazing at the student, with god knows that peculiar look, as if they themselves were confused of the main idea of being there ).
They are one gud – intellectual - lookin bunch of confused monkeys ...I must say....hheeeeheee...
All of a sudden struck me, “even he has it...would he be caught? Would he escape? Oh God!!!...save him!!!”
With all these thoughts storming up inside me, I hear a voice "ye parchi kiski hai???stand up!!!"....
"Oh Shit!!! He's caught kya??"
Ironically the voice came from my behind-right side, I turned my head in amazement, a guy got trapped. He was being
Interrogated, embarrassed, was being search over n over again......
"But What about this guy on my left!!!...he had a chit tooooo!!!!.......where's his????"
Suddenly that stern voice said again "ye kiski hai...batado apne aap!!! warna checking karte waqt pakde jaogeytho exam main baithne nahi dengey!!"
"Really!!!!.......????.....wht dignified liars!!!"
Anyways that other guy wasn’t caught becos the chit had answers relating to our (MCA's) Subject, and he was our junior.
"Ah!!!!!"
Now i realized what had happened...which made me chuckle!!!!....smirk....hun....How smart!!!! :)
This classmate of mine managed to throw his chit across the middle row to the other end of the class....hahahaaaa!!!
and poor chap, my junior ....."wo phass gaya....hahahahaaaaaa"
"Thank GOD!!!"
Now the guy I have been talking uptil now, hasn't been a cloooooseee frnd of mine, but i had known him, for 2 years almost.
We started our journey for mastering the COMPUTERS....on 2006-August.....and planning to end on 2009-July!!!
But fate had it own role to play.....out of the batch of 60 students, all are MASTERS IN COMPUTER APPLICATIONS...
except for one, who got the title for "MASTERS IN LIFE"!!!!!!
This one chap-dude, i am talking about is known an "ANKIT GOEL"!!!!!
He challenged Death, and had beaten it for 1 and a half years until on 3rd of jan...........the daemon took over him!!
ANKIT met with an accident on JUNE 9, 2008. Doctor's declared he won't survive, but that wasn’t "ANKIT"!!!....He FIGHTED BACK, with the will to survive, supported enormously selflessly by his 2 ANGEL'S ( maaa n dad ).....and his younger sis...
HATSS OFF TO THESE ANGEL'S........
He fought the battle hard for almost 1 and a 1/2 years....until....
GOD HAS YOU NOW ANKIT!!...YOU ARE WITH HIM NOW.... Dearie!!!!
I remember one of my friends telling me "When someone dies, he's closer to GOD now!! Up Above!! Whatever you would ask HIM he would give you priority than the ones who ask from down below here!!!”....so ANKIT, ask GOD to give maa and dad and sis all the strengths for them to move on with their lives!!!"
I know you would be well taken care of, after all u are in the midst of ANGELS now!!!!
THE ALMIGHTY sent you here on earth, with a purpose!! You have achieved that!!!...you reside in each one of our hearts and will always be!!!....A SMILING TALKATIVE HELPFUL FIGHTER STRUGGLER ANKIT!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) GOD BLESS YOU!!!
WE ALL LOVE N MISS YOU!!! :) :) STAY HAPPY!!!
Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,
And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him.
~René Francois Regnier
I would request all whoever reads this post, to say a few words for him n his family n pray for them!!!......Ankit's watching us!!let him know how much we miss him!!!! :) :)
