It started with a facebook post and a project meet. Till then, he was a decent guy, a superb app developer, and someone who had done a NASA project :d, what exactly, I dunno. :p I just felt like he would a big asset if he was in.
He turned out to be a very practical person. Somehow, for me it is usually difficult to deal with such people. They don’t understand - "You know what I mean, right". Everything has to be in succinct words. And honestly that project is everything but clear. :p
But little did I know! That life was planning surprises.
I cannot do a lot of things, and one thing I really suck at is virtual chatting. Though I can chat endlessly face to face! Subject to who the person is :p. But virtual chatting and its slow pace kills me.
And I chatted with someone who has disabled blue ticks :p. Huhh, there must be something wrong with me that day. We talked about the places we could go to, about travelling in general, about society, about life. He turned out to be quite a multi-talented chap. Had it been college, I might not have been so happy to talk to him as I was then. But 6 months into a complacent corporate life, made him seem really cool.
And then came up music. I am not an enthusiast or follower of music! But who doesn’t like guitar.. I heard the few audio clips he had sent over and he was amazing.
Wo to our interests didn’t match. So we talked for just 4 hours. Or else, pata nahi. It was a record. And for the record, I still can’t chat virtually. Just this one time was an exception.:D
Other than his guitar, I ll always be grateful to him for this trip. He makes me feel offended and lucky at the same time. A peculiar combination? He can make friends as easily as I can, or sometimes, he is faaaarrrrrrrrr better at it :p (I would never laugh at someone’s ideas however ridiculous they seem to me, or give them honest nicknames :p). Being able to do that, makes him better I guess. I can’t take responsibility for myself, let alone anyone else, but he subconsciously does it.
I wanted to tell him that night - You do not need to shield me! that I can take care of these drunkards if need be, I happen to be trained at MMA. even though my stamina fails me :p . After all, I am a tomboy.
He is a unique friend for many reasons:
I met him for the PROJECT, and anything related to it is special. (:p)
He is a really cool person to chat to. As inexplicable as it seems, he happens to be someone I like to chat with and can chat with for hours. Even after I know him now.
He plays guitar really well. Sorry to say, but guitar se ladkiyaan set nahi hoti :p.
But the best thing about him is: He is kind of “Just Do It” person, and I really love this dynamism.
Fun-fact : My critic friends think I met you on Tinder. Mostly because I went on a trip with a complete stranger. (You can laugh at it too, its better than feeling embarrassed :p)
Now that I recall. All there was : a facebook post, a meeting, whatsapp chats, a trip. I feel this after meeting a lot of people. Blessed! And so do I feel now.
In life, people come. Some go, some stay. But usually no one stays for long in your present life. Friends change with phases. School friends, coaching friends, college friends, office friends. I can only wish, like your name : Amit : who doesn’t fade and always remains : that you ll always stay in my present.. a bizarre friend 😀 🙂 ..
