Chuddi, Buddi and Banyan dost!

I may not be writing on the issues which are great; but I, certainly, am writing on things which, to me, are of great importance.

There have been a very few friends, who I really treasure. In Manipal, I was lucky to befriend with some of them. One is very special amongst them; I don’t need any adjectives for him, to support my claim, as, you know, now-a-days adjectives are being abused. Seriously man!

I would simply and in a proud manner announce that he is not just my wonderful friend but "unfortunately" my professor also. A very good and strict one: no attendance for coming late, getting a good lecture next day for not attending his class, scoring less marks in his subjects. He most of the time brooding over ‘my sleeping’ -- people say I sleep too much; and I don’t think so. So, sir, everyone is lying to you. I am always awake!

I had really wonderful times with him. Starting with my German and French days. He only knows all these “nonsense”. We had many enjoyable bike rides. We had many trips to Peacock Point too, a place I will miss; I will miss it like many other things. I still miss the day when we were together at this place and taking pictures of the Moon at the night – you remember, Sir.

We went to Agumbe to watch its waterfall. We were sucked by the leeches, slimy fellas, they were too many. Govind burnt a few of them…a sick sight to look at.

We went to Sitanadi, Hanging Bridge and many more places in and around Manipal. I love each and every moment I and we were with him. It is fun to be with him…I enjoy the moment when most of the times we laugh together, and that too, so embarrassedly...and much to others annoyance only two of us can understand the reason; for example, sometimes some thing passes by, and within a second we display the same reactions which make us to come up with the same conclusions, and laughter follows. We read magazines sometimes together, and laughter follows in the library…people beside us wonder what is happening…and we feel that we are too much!

I will not miss you, Sir, Mr. Pratman! I will come to you to annoy you, perhaps for a bike ride nearby and some chit chat at a regular basis. Remember me, I am in Bangaloru only. Not going far from you so early.
