Amazing People 2

Its Amazing how when we are kids, we dream of so many things , people and situations. I for one was no different. I had dreams of fighting the evil like a super hero,Riding the lastest bicylce avaiable in market,not doing homework and still coming first in class,beating the best in all sports,and of course playing the wackiest video games.... All these dreams where somehow to some extent fulfilled.. but one was not full filled till today evening.
I always imagined a perfect guy as my best friend.. now some terms in the previous sentence are subjective and the meaning of "perfect" and "best" varies with person to person.for me perfect guy meant - An adored child, who gets what he wants but still is wise enough to use his liberty properly.This guy is the perfect in everything- be it academics,sports or video games. His dad is rich and He is well mannered.I , For some reason, never wanted to be one like him.I was happy to be who I was,but always wanted a friend who is like that.Probably, very early ,I had learned that it is an immsenely pacifying and soothing emotion when your friend spends the money and not you.
Tonight I realised my wish had been completed last year. This is another guy , from my AOL group(read amazing people) His gentle demeanor is very sauve and savvy which makes every girl fall for him.He is cute and Polite.Dont have a GF and Loves to play football.He is well setlled professionally and has a polished debonaire.His mom is the nicest lady have seen in my 2 years stay in banglore.His Dad looks enthusiatic and charming. have not seen his little bro ever.
Today as I look back from the day we met, politely we exchanged contact nos to the days we did the YES+ course,where he picked me up from home and dropped me back, to the days we have eaten out and pulled leg of other group members,to the days where we have not interacted for weeks at a strech - this guy doesnt seem to disappoint me ever.This guy is the first one I have met who has actually quit smoking and I am amazed at that,so each one of us knows its not possible for a faint heart to do.I am currently trying to think of atleast one isntance right now where the second para of this post wouldnt be applicable on him.. but alas,I Fail.All the best for future my perfect friend.

Amazing People

As my days in bangalore draw towards a dramatic finish, i could not help but contemplate on the past 2 years that just went by in a jiffy.These were awesome days.They have given me an oppurtunity to meet and learn from some of the most amazing people on planet earth. And thanks to god, now I am old enough to remember these people and moments for the rest of my life. This blog of mine is dedicated to all such people who have made my stay in bangalore a fruitful,memorable,rewarding and happy journey. I will write about these wonderful people one by one. but for privacy purposes will change their names but preserve their identity and personality as I saw it with my specs on.so lets get started

9th May 2009, I was pushed into an AOL Yes+ course. I for some reason thought that this course might help me in CAT 2009 preparation and It did..I met a bunch of wonderful people - 2 tamilians, 1 telguite, and 1 kannadiga.I have spent countless weekends with them and enjoyed each and every moment of it.This way i could take my mind of my CAT stress. The telugite of the Group,I wil call her Miss "So Sorry", was an intersting personality....she was confident,smart,intelligent and caring.The first few interactions I had with her over phone would invairably start like this

Miss So sorry -" m soo sorryyyyy vijayyyyyyyyyy.. m really sorry, actually i forgot, my boss , my dad , my mum blah blah blah.... "

Me - what are you sorry for btw?

Miss so sorry - you called up, my phone was busy.. i cud not call back, actually my boss , my dad, my mum blah blah blah.......

Me - Its perfectly okay. no worries

Miss so sorry - something something,blah blah, something something,blah blah..I am so sooory. will meet you tomm

Me-Ok.

And it went like that for sometime...meetings with her were not very exciting to begin with,I found her very manager like,telling people what to do and how to do.. and I being a sort of clear hearted guy, told her that i quite do not like this quality of hers. Its good when working with people but not when spending timewith freinds
.. two things were really surprising in this whole scene- a) she did not get the usual bashing my friends get from me and secondly this wonderful girl acknoledged it prety nicely and I love her for this.From that day onwards, we have got along so well, I havnet had imagined:D

Ironically,today I really appreciate her for her interpersonal skills. she is so good in talking to people. doing extra ciricular activites be it going for CSR activites or just fun trips. tough I havnt told her this yet but i have really learned from her how to meet and talk to people.She has illuminated a fact to me - that people around you matter, and many things get easy, if you talk brillinatly to everyone around you, life becomes more fun :D

Last Night I was amazed to see her disappointed and sad when she realized that I would no longer be around and we might just not meet ever again:d..but this is how life is..its a one big circle afterall, we might just cross eachother someday somemeont somewhere.. who knows:D

but it was fun knowing her.... she is a unique personality,the only girl I have met so far who has the similar taste in books as I have, spent the longest time on bench in infy,she regularly does kriya and fights with her sis, a caring and trustworthy friend, a fun to be around...I have pulled her leg and made her laugh so many times.... now m scared i dont make her cry when i leave:D
