a 'friend' to remember

Chirag : Gawai mujhe teri fir yaad aayi!!

Whenever I get this message from Chirag when he is in lab, I know exactly what it means. Every time power supply in wing is tripped, i get this message, which means, 'please boot my computer.'

Another frequent message from Chirag, (once, this one was posted as comment on my blog)

Fwd: Mere Kapde
"Please washerman se le lo"

chirag

These are the two messages i am really going to miss next year. Yes, he is graduating this semester from IIT Bombay. He is going to Banglore to join his job.

Chrag Jain!! Having a friend like him is a great fortune!! First time i met chirag in my second year when i became part of our wing - Voodoos. Ever since that he is an itegral part of my life. Although he is one year senior to me, relations with him were always more than a senior-junior.

There are many things about him which i can never forget. Treat times, Birthday celebrations in wing, Fundaes given by him, Late night long drives, Bike race on western express way - this was the first time ever i drive bike 100+. Whenever there were moments to celebrate, he was there. Whenever i was in need, he was there. When my heart was broken, he was the shoulder to cry.

Sometimes i wonder, how a person can be perfectionist in so many fields at the same time. He is born genius, stud in acads, poet, shayar, philosopher, plays mandolin and much more. Words are insufficient to truely describe him. Always happy and cheerful, i have never seen this person sad or frustrated. He has ability to motivate people. There is something in his personality which attracts you to him. I am fan of his poetry. Specially the one written by him for his valfi night - "kal main tumse na bhi mil paya to kya!"

Now, things are bound to change. Now there will be days when i will not get to see him. I will really miss his entry in my room at some random time and asking, "Aur Gawai, kya chal raha hai??". I will miss his presence around, when ill be having my end-sems or presentations. I will miss him, when there is plan for long drive.

One thing is sure, each time power will trip in our wing or collecting my clothes from washerman, it will remind me "Chirag Jain"!!
