Missing him still….

Of all the people i have come across, I have never been able to get in touch with him and never really heard from him. He was my first best friend as I remember, and when it was time for me to part, i was too young to realize the importance of being in touch. Not a week has passed by since my 3rd grade without remembering him for something or other. We were together since kindergarten till second grade.

I had to part with Sugenthiran, since we were no longer entertained to have 62,Chandrasekara puram as our abode and we moved to 111G where the better part of my teens got spent. So when i tell this to few people about missing this fella, they wonder what the heck have we done between Kindergarten and 2nd grade to miss a friend? Well, me too not clear on why i miss him, but i am certain i do.  I do remember some of the best moments i had with him. Some of the best talks we had. They are still afresh.

In the modern era of Face book, buzz, twitter etc….hoping someday i will meet him, someday i will let him know that i am the one who was with him till 2nd grade…probably he may not remember, probably he may avoid me…..either way i have my hopes flying high.

 

Come what may life keeps moving.

Can a joyful event disturb you?

It depends, for whom, on whom and by whom!!!! :). Last week, i had been to a birthday that marked half a century in one’s life. COOL!!!! is it not? It was a grand event with kith and kin surrounding him. We had food, people shared their own experiences, THE moment with this guy that had taken place in the past half a century, then we had karaoke. Even i sang sangeetha megam song.

More than him, his dad enjoyed the event. He went around dancing, singing, making fun..and what not???!!!! That really put me into some thinking. My dad too had his dad for his 50th birthday, even his 60th birthday. How many people do get such gifts in life? Really something that is very rare and that will be cherished by every son. That night i was set in so melancholic a mood that, i was unable to stop sailing in time for about 25years from now.

But that did not answer my question - What destiny had in store for me? Really me and my dad are apart by a big time. That's neither of ours fault. That is what fate is all about.

That gap between us never prevented us from having fun, having the talks that every dad and son should have, the time where a dad teaches his son the basics of life……one of the two gift that i was presented for my first birthday. Of course what will be the place of various coins on the chess board will only be revealed as the clock ticks away……

This guy has a elder bro and a younger sis, so in all three kids to his parents, jut like us. Three kids!!!! All the three posed together for a snap along with their mom and dad, with their spouses, with their kids. That moment really made me to envy them. A moment that i will always long for in a life, in which i have really longed for nothing, a moment for sure is definite not to happen.

Sometimes fate plays so badly that you are unable to come to terms with the rules and loses in the game. As i have always been thought by Kalyan…… COME WHAT MAY!!! LIFE MOVES ON!!!! Funny how life just turns topsy-turvy in a second. So be it!!!!

Let glory be with Kalyan!!!
