Indispensable friends of mine |
With enduring hard work and dedication at Baylling Higher
Secondary School, I managed the get the train ticket to India. I boarded the
train somewhere in September 2009. Since then in every station people of all
walks of lives boarded the train from many stations, we exchange smiles as one
gets in the compartment, we begins with HI and HELLO and they got down bidding
us goodbye and never to see again.
MY LANKAN FRIEND LPG...... |
As
I entered the compartment with pounding heart, I was introduced first to a friend
from Srilanka. He had long and neatly combed hair with congenial personality
wearing a striped white and red shirt. I got to knew that he was LPG oh no, not
Liquefied Petroleum Gas but Lahiru Prasad Gunathunga.
We
shared the same compartment all four years long. In the
course of our journey we met many other peoples too. Next to our compartment was
a man who was passionate on music and learning flute. He was our commando, oh
shit sorry he was Bijoy an avid football fan. At one point of time Debang had
updated in his facebook wall “that irritating flute of ground floor” I laughed
my lungs out not because of the commando’s every day irritating flute but simply I didn’t expect
Debang to say something of this kind. Debang remained silent in many cases as
he was busy with painting and writing in his own world
There was civil friend crazy about programming stuff. I felt
that he had land up in wrong course but he was happy that he was place in IT
Company IBM. Once I was limping around the compartments and my eyes caught him
through his half open dusty door. I intrude inside. “Four hours only two pages
kela” he shouted with scowling face. He was preparing for the management exam for
final semester. “Slow and steady win the race” I comforted him. “Fuck you! Slow
and steady I got 8.5 in midsem!” he reacted back. I wish you could have seen his face that
moment. Opps I giggled and left the room. Oh sorry I didn’t mention his name he
was UNDO from Andaman Island.
That's Sanat: placed at WEBFLUEZ |
Next to his compartment was most industrious, physically
serious but really kind in heart ever ready to help was Sanat Kr. Ray. Company
like IBM and Sankalp didn’t saw his potential, though he was best theoretically
and practically. To be precise you taught me more than many professor’s of this
college. Thank you Sanat, you are one reason that I fulfilled my dreams. When I
first saw you I told myself that in my entire journey I could never be able to
talk to you, what a tough looking guy huh. You are my guruji Sanat.
Bipul Kr Nath: Capgimeni |
There was another two best friends, just opposite to each
other. Opposite! no not in terms of ideology and intelligence, both were very
brilliant and got placed in respectable jobs, Bipul Kr. Nath was saver of
Hostel mess and the tallest of all maybe in whole train and other was his best
friend Chandan. Chandan could be next Einstein or Thomas Edison who is going to
join IBM sooner or later. He was also leading fellow in the battle of AOE games
next to Martanda.
That menacing monkey of ground floor: Marty- IBM |
Oh shit I almost forget about Martanda the king of AOE and
many computer games. Besides Naruto and computer games he doesn’t have anything
to do, so he excels to become nemesis of AOE. He was most disturbing person in whole
compartment and funny too. He would cover up his syllabus, and then he would
run door to door like a menacing monkey with same mantra “Bhutanii kimaan poriba?” and then same to Bijoy his favorite prey and then “Sanat ki maan po ra”
almost every day. At some point with
frustration someone had even put up a banner saying “MARTY GO BACK”.
luckiest friend who have two Dream job...... Sangeet |
When somebody had no destination to go, he had two illustrious
jobs both with handsome pay. A dream job to make the choice from and that lucky
fellow was Sanget Agrawal who will be working in Italy.
Parash the musician: IBM |
I also met another lovable friend who spends all most all
time in calls and sms. He was passionate and good musician too. He had the
ability to study as well as attend calls at same time. He would teach
mathematics wholly through phone to his darling Majani. He was Parash Jyoti
Nath Hazarika who hardly attends any lecture class.
Mon the sexiest: two placement IBM and KMB |
Safi Alam best cook?... |
Monzurul, many might call him Mon-Betiii or others teases him
for he was considered a sexiest guy, was an ardent believer of his religion. So
was Safi Alam from Manipuri. They would miss the meals but not their prayers.
Safi would trust me as a most hard working man on earth. My seat would reserve
next to him in every class test. Safi too was a nocturnal active at night and
sleeps all day long. This gentleman taught me the value of friendship.
This photo doesn't look like a zombie but a smart Harun |
Many
people refer to him as Zombie, but I call him by his name Harun, smiling and
cheerful person. He walks like a Zombie though.
Bharat the body builder |
The body builder and time bounded machine, neither late nor
fast is a Bharat. Early to bed early to rise was his motto. If there was one
person who wanted to take roti’s instead of rice he would be the first person
to jump even in the deepest well.
My favorite was Vinay Podugu from Andra Pradesh. He was my
favorite because he doesn’t liked to be called as GULTI and I regularly call him
as GULTI. It was so sad that got down from the train a week ago. He was a real
GULTI who had power break my ventilation glass into zillion pieces. Hope you will
be renowned IITians someday.
I wish every single friends of mine best of luck in your
future career. Thanks for everything!! With your friendships and care that you
all rendered the beauty of my college life got magnified manifold.
To Lahiru:
We came together as a stranger but by chance and by the tag
of foreign students we became friends. And we were best of best friend now. I
cannot even imagine today how my life in NIT Silchar would have been if not for
you. Down the memory lane of my disc the beautiful contents of your presence
shall stay engrave forever.
You were one and only one who really understands me and took
care of me. When I was in dire need, you came to help with open arms ready to
do anything. When I was in despair, you
were there to console me. When I made
mistakes, you were always there to correct me. You never let me walk alone, not
even to the crowded mess during lunch time. You filled that void of my heart of
homesickness. When I achieve something
with broad smile you congratulate me and when I failed and lied down dejected,
you came over my bed to rescue me with soothing & inspiring words. When I
had zillions of problems and you would help me part by part till it saw the
end. When I was on mad rat race you pat my back and told me calm down
Namgang! When I was hungry, you took me
to BBL or even to Triptee and Nahas. You are the one, who wished me good luck
at the entrance of exam hall, and I came out with satisfying results at the
end. When I was heading to wrong path, you pulled me hard to bring back into
right track. you are my friend Lahiru.
You remember my mom remember you as LA-HA-RI-KU not as
Lahiru.
Didn’t I told you neat comb hair in beginning, hah I pray
that you be in better health and hope you regains your hair soon after going
back home. All the best my dear Lahiru, I love you and Thank you again.
I know I am not perfect, and i might have hurt
you all, directly or indirectly, so I take this opportunity to say sorry if I
have hurt you, please forgive me.
