Have you ever told somebody 'yaar, I know what you are going through, I understand your pain...' I think that is the silliest thing you can say... Nobody can understand somebody else's feeling, we only think what we might think, but the way they think...never... So that becomes the most meaningless words to say when we see somebody we care for in trouble...
All these thoughts came to me when I went to my friend's home last week. Normally when I go there his achan will receive me with the warmest of smile, amma will get some tea or lime juice and if his brother is there he will greet me with his trademark question about my (...). But that day things were totally opposite... He was the living doll kind of state, his father put a hand around me and told me he feels like being seperated from our 'gang', his mother totally blank and void... and his brother.... he was missing... and that was the reason why their world turned upside down...
I expected this when I went there, but never was prepared for that. When his brother told me what he is missing, achan about all the things like a friend and when I hold the hand of amma, what she told me without speaking a word... How can I ever imagine I understand their pain... what they are goign through...
All these for being a good guy, a good citizen. He was riding his bike and when the signal turned red he stopped, but the bus following him didn't.. He and his pillion friend paid for the bus driver's negligence....
When I watch a movie that he may like, listen to the songs that he used to keep as caller tunes, or see his name in my orkut friend's list, if I miss a moment, then what will be his family going through... I surely can't understnad what you guys missed... but sure he may not like you going like this.. He is smiling from above and may be teasing you for it ( you know how he will react ).... And Sajeev, may your soul rest in peace... we all miss you...
