My dustbin of thoughts..:P

Actual Friends…

This should have been in one of my starting posts ..

Yesterday when hitanshu for the first time started to write in his blog , the first topic he wrote was about his friends in the two years during the preparation for JEE . Honestly i felt very guilty , that i have not mentioned them even once in my blog though i have wrote several times about F.R.I.E.N.D.S … It was not that i got too busy in my schedule or i forgot them , but somehow never felt to write about it which was in a way very strange ,as they are the ones who were pat of my life in such an imp. phase of the life .. Now when i want to write about them , i do not know with which to start with , they were all so equal and so important , so i am writing in albhabetical order , the easiest way :) ..

ANSHUL : The Mr. Right of the group , no matter what the circumstances were , what the current scenario was , he was there with his opinion which inevitably was always right ..He gives a kind of opinion which you think that your mom – dad would give in that situation … YOu would never like his opinion but somewhere you know that he is right… . Academically i think it is only the anshul , jis ke kisse door door tak famous hain ..an extremely intelligent guy , whose problem solving and calculations in mathematics would leave you dumbstruck ( He will calculate for you 2 raise to power 64 in less than a min , solve for you a cubic equation and come up with roots you cannot imagine , do the factorization of complex equations and when you ask him the secret , he will simply say yaar , is mein kya tha !!) and yes about chemistry everyone knows , the favourite of sangeeta mam , would get more than 140 in a test of 150 and still no signs of happiness on his face ( agar kshitij ya mere kabhi aaye hote , toh khushi ke maare pagal ho jate :) ) , would solve the problems of mole concept at an amazing speed and that too without calculator . the one guy who would remember all the dates right from the lodhi dynasty to all the birthdays of the friends . Ah! the one guy whose almirah was always full of something to eat ( yaar , woh malai kofta was extremely delicious , jab patiala aaya toh woh paka khaoonga aunti se )and we quite shamelessly were always looking in his almirah … a good basketball player ( par haan , mere se kam ) . He is still with me in IITD , always teasing me about someone ( ab toh chod de , yaar kyun besti karwai hai ) , but now meet him much less as he is in different hostel and different department..But fella! you will always be one of the great friends i ever have …

HITANSHU : The Mr. ” Baithe Raho ” of the group .No matter how small or how big the thing is , once this guy does it , this dialogue ” baithe raho ” is bound to come from him .. The bubbly of the group , weigh somewhere around 85 kgs but appears to have more than a ton , but yes in the looks he can give a tough competition to even SRK , the way he will comb his hair and then say ” yaar aaj mein bahut smart lag raha hoon ” are all well known to the entire group ( haan yaar , saari ladkian tere pe marti hain ). He has a tendancy of getting into problems and then also losing his courage to solve them ( but anshul jyada times pe iske saath hota hai ) . Academically he is a real sharp brain , his physics was superb ( OK, leave the first seating arrangement test ) , a very quick learner of virtually anything ( he started playing T.T after me , but in the later stages could defeat me with quite an ease ( i am a littlt modest here ) , also started to play good basketball , and yes cricket ! we all know , the opening batsman of the team :) ) Above all these things , which are all secondary , he is one of the best friend you will ever going to have ( and you know this deep in your heart ) , the one with which you can go and just talk for hours … Mote one last thing , do you still have that Pyjama with you ??? :) . i forgot to mention he is in IITK now.

KSHITIJ : ( i think i have spelled it right ) The Mr. ” Hard Working ” and Mr. Joker of the group . Tall height , bushy hair , body like clothes on a hanger , braces on the teeth ( though they were replaced by only a wire in the end ) , this guy stands apart in the group . He will find humour in the smallest of the things and would ignore even the best of the jokes , will spent an hour or two on an easy problem but would solve the most tough problem in a moment , will try to find logic in the most illogical things according to me and yet would ignore a perfectly logical point. By his actions and strong body movements he was the hero of the whole group . Academically what can i say , the most hardworking among all of us , i think studied for more than 16 hours in the beginning of +1 , can solve the toughest of the problems in the books ( i think , us mein yeh sher tha ) , the only problem was he used to make lot of so called silly mistakes , but a genious in virtually every field be it maths , physics , chemistry or general knowledge . To me he was of special significance , not only because he was my roommate in +1 , but also because the way he used to study , the way he would keep on thinking about something till he got it , i think main shayad padna sirf is ke karan hi laga tha , the one guy who is always a source of inspiration for me . Sometimes we used to fight , sometimes had those long spells of ‘ no talking ‘ , but in the end , it always got sorted out.. i think these things are quite common in a friendship that is between two friends studying in the same room and for the same thing…. Again , he is in IITB.

Sandeep : Last but not the least , here i am . I would not do justice to the whole post , if i did not write something about me . But on the other end , it would not be fair to write my version of who i am . so just a few lines … cannot find a word that would fit into Mr. of the group , but yes tall , good personality :) woulddescribe me physically . a little stupid in daily matters , have an ok types sense of humour , and on the academic front , good in mathematics and physics ( i really do not know how i got selected in chemistry olympiad and missed out Physics ) .
that’s all , nothing much ( vaise bhi kafi hawa le chuka hoon )

SO here are my 3 friends without which it would have been difficult to pass my two years in hostel , i remember those nights after the tests when we used to sit around in anshul’s and mote’s room and discuss about our lives ( that were probably the most high points in our friendship )..
Guys always , anytime for you ….
