Well two years back…wen i 1st entered my IIT coaching class there were a couple of boys who always acted as smart-ass…..not knowing anyone and being of reserved nature….i dint speak to anyone initially…later in a month or so….we five boys were in a group…all 5 were toppers (order kept changing)…
Ravindra:total geek,bookworm,never socialises,totally shy n reserved.
Soumya:A geek,studies too hard,bit social,shameless,always late.
Nevil:Wannabe stud,flirt,studies well,teases everyone.
Ashay:Colourful person,has lots intrests…music, movies, sports, cars,etc… enjoys life fullest and studies well.
And me:quite reserved initially,smart,liked studying few subjects(rest sucked),comp-geek,loves movies n songs also dance..havin lots intrests…but lack guts to pursue all of it…but will surely try each of it…pretty soon..
well this blog is about soumya….initially we were friends…just casual..he too had good knowledge about comp stuff….so we had a lot to talk about…games,softwares,virus-antivirus,new releases….soon he would visit my house regularly to take movie,song,software,etc..we started sharing our veiws,ideas…..cracked silly jokes on everyone and everything….i could jus be myself when with him….he had become an integral part of my life….4-5 months passed….
Then…after a good 6-7 months Nevil n Ashay got bit involved into mischief other students rest 3 of us were more serious about studying…we cracked our own jokes….laughed n enjoyed them…after a month a time came that soumya was fed up of Nevil’s notorious activities…he actually was the victim of each joke.
A couple of months later…i fell in love twice..with 2 girls from college…started drifting away from friends naturally…but then Ashay n I would chat about it…he would give tips n encourage ….eventually became good friends….i went back in studies…..couldnt concentrate was totally heart-broken…to divert mind i watched movies whole nite til wee hours of morning…and would sleep in lectures…missing studies…kept losing marks…
Another 3-4 months…made new friends…moved on from break-up…was again high spirited…it was about 6 months for final exam…covering my backlog…now i started getting envious of rest four of them….they were scoring way better than me….inspite of me working equally hard…was really pissed off…couldnt concentrate properly…..i decided to get isolated….last 2 months…was in total isolation…i started hating all 4 of them coz i couldnt get good marks like them…i would act stubborn..not respond their call/sms…lie to them…nor help them….i acted very mean…it was all jealousy…atlast exams…gave it…expected low marks….
A month later,jealousy had reduced by now…but only i couldnt stand soumya coz he was acting oversmart….then results…BANG…soumya and ashay dint qualify IIT…..n biggest of life…i qualified it….!
2 months were spent in admission procedure…slowly and eventually soumya realised his mistakes…i too realised that i was wrong ill-treating him….and then today celebrated my 18th B-day with friends…soumya couldnt come ….he was busy packing…leaving for NIT nagpur tomorrow ….he came by to meet me at evening…was with us for 3-4 hrs…then i acoompanied him halfway to him place…i could realise how lonely he was feeling..every other minute he would say…if in future you people come to that NIT..we all will rock…have a blast…and another tonnes of plans….and then this person who never in his life offered us..(atleast me…) to eat/drink anything with him….suddenly asked me…”Hey DJ…lets have an ICE-cream…!”…i was shocked,amused and taken aback…my tummy was full after dinner..had to refuse him…then he said…”ok..atleast have a soda with me…!”…i had to agree…then again while leaving he asked…”Wanna have a choclate..!”…i was totally touched…wondered if he is the same soumya whom i envied so much..?….i realised,he was terribly missing us…after few minutes..he left…..with a heavy heart…my eyes were moist,lump in the throat after bidding him good-bye….MISS U so much soumya
