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!!!! :) :)

We all come here for some PURPOSE. Well I dont know ANKIT personally, but I can say that he came in this world to give a message to us that we need to FIGHT out. NEVER EVER GIVE UP.
The battle that he fought for one and half year came to an end with a sad end, but before going away from this world ANKIT gave us a message that FIGHT till ur last breath. I SALUTE his FIGHTING spirit and pray to GOD to give peace to his soul and strength to his family members who have lost their dear one, so that they can face this situation bravely.

True Puneet :) :)
May he rest in peace and may God strengthen his family
thankss smiii.... :):)
You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on
May His soul rest in peace!! Hats off to the parents.. May God Almighty strengthen them to continue and let peace be in their hearts throughout..
This is so moving! My prayers are with him n his family.
May his soul rest in peace and may the Lord give his family the strength to move ahead...
Thanks a lot guys.Banny,Viju,:)and Ajay...for scribbling something for my dear frend.....God Bless you All!!! :)
Well a great blog .......... a blog that truly reflects the person Ankit was and will always be in our hearts.....!!
But the 2 years that we all have spent with him would always remain un-writable.......... because the relation we had, the feeling we shared can never ever be described in the words that are present in any dictionary.
He will always occupy the place of the Best Friend and a great human being in our hearts.
We miss u Ankit..............
Yes Rahul....We'll all Miss him.... :(
Its all abt destiny. Ppl come in this world for a purpose. They serve and wen they are finished with there task they leave this world. its really difficult to believe that he is not between us but its true.He was a true fighter but at last he left us and i must say that was gud for him coz he was the only one who knows how much pain he has suffered for almost 2 yrs. We will miss him always. May his soul rest in peace
Well said Anuradha He was d true fighter he fights till d end..May God give his family d strength to move ahead with their lives..Miss u Ankit..
@Manav : Its been a long time...hai na.... But i can still hear Vaibhav's voice in that Auditorium when a call came to him and he was like "Kya??" .....
and all that hustle bustle that followed that day.....TERRIBLE!!
Ankit is a gift of GOD!! :) for everyone in whosever lives he has touched!
Its true he had a purpose and he fulfilled it "SUCCESSFULLY"!!
:)
god bless him!!
@Richa : Thanks Sweetheart!! :) God Bless You Too!! :)
Hi Everyone..
Really very gudlines said by Anuradha & all of u about Ankit.
Really a great blog started by Anuradha, where everyword had become less in describing him, his friendship, nature & everything about him. And Rahul said correctly that this blog really reflects him & his nature too.
Seriously guyz i am not able to understand,from where should i start writing about him.There are so many memories with him which cannot be described in just writing few words.
Yes he is really a gud techie who does all small issues related to Computer in just few hours.He used to keep all softwares, drivers for all of us..Well already enough said on his techie part..so i share some other things & memories lived with him.
I know him from the days of BCA(2003). He is a great guy, who always wanted to help everyone & believe me he gives his full efforts to help that person in every manner.And u know what he's really a jugaddu type of a person, no seriously he's having a contact wih every person in every field. Seriously very diificuilt to make gud contacts with everyone. But he enjoys to do that & others people also.
His personality was totally changed in MCA. In BCA he was a shy type of guy, who dont talk to everyone especially not with too many girls. but in MCA he has become much more confident.
He loves to enjoy every moment of his life and others too with him. He loves to see every new movie in
cinema hall and whichever movie he likes it, he brings ticket of that
movie for his Mom & Dad. Really too good nature.......& he loves his family a lot.
He was fond of eating food outside especially North Indian food and in that too Dal Makhani. whenever we go outside for eating North Indian food with him,Dal Makhani is already understood by everyone in giving the order.Seriously we miss all these small things a lot.His mom prepares especially Rajma or Dal Makhani on Sunday or Tuesday( becoz his father has a holiday on tuesday) for him. but now in his family hardly they eat these items. Time & things how drastically changed for his family na....
He also helps his father a lot in his buisness, which he misses a lot now.He used to do all outside works of his home like deposing bills, Bank work, insurance work etc. In short all family members are dependent on him for all these small outside works.And now his father & mom do all these works. Really a lot of feelings are associated with every small work, which his family feels every day & misses him a lot.
His small sister teases him a lot on any type of issue and make loud laughs at home. when i go to his house, i also give company to them & laughs a lot.
But now when i go to his house, things have been changed, i misses those laughs of them.Her sister also becomes more mature to take more care of her family.
Really a very difficuilt time for their family to face all these things.
Ankit was a great devotee also.He used to go temples, vaishnodevi trips with his friends & also participates in colony celebration work,puja in festivals like Ganesh chaturthi,Holi,Diwali,New Year etc.His neighbours also like him a lot & his participation too.
Yes Anuradha i also remember that time when i recieved a call & heard about him in the auditoruim and said 'Kya'.At that time i have not even think of it that such a bad mess happened with him. I was only thinking that he do not get much hurts, becoz placements are near and we always talks about getting a gud placement.But his destiny & GOD had different plans for him.
This comment already become very large, but in his memories, if any one say to write me, than this is really not even a proper start. But at last i only say that he is a great & fun loving guy & one of my best friend.I misses him a lot, almost at every moment.
Really someone said those lines correctly that GOD also needs nice people that's why Ankit is not with us, but remains in our Golden Memories forever.
May God bless ANKIT soul and give enough power to his family to deal with this.
Vaibhav.... We'll all miss HIM! :( :( what to say!! .... Thanks!
