An epic saga of tribute to friends...

Friends are special. There is no friendship day today. or is it? I do not care but one of my very good friend, Vikas has moved to India and today suddenly, I missed him so thought to write something in tribute to some of my special friends. Here is little poem (or whatever arts guy call it, do I look like I care?). I hope Vikas will be reading this someday and laughing.

Vikas Jain
Why you have to move to India, Vikas? I miss you very very much.
(Reality: Dude, what the damn was your problem with living here in America? There is nobody in America who can make a tasty "Daal Bati" like you. Where will I eat Daal Bati now?)
 
Dipen Bhikadya
Sometimes(actually many times), I wake up late in the morning and I am late for the job. You are the first one who comes to my mind. It makes me sad that you are not here with me.
 (Reality: Dude, why you had to move away to New York? I was so accustomed to being your room mate that only alarm that could wake me up on time for job was when you would wake up, wear your kichud kichud slipper and go to balcony to do your morning exercise or whatever you used to do. Though, I never saw you exercising and I always used to think that you have addiction of watching working woman leaving for job early morning. And dude, seriously, why you had to wear slipper in our very much clean apartment?)


Rohit Patel
Sometimes, I go to a nice desi restaurant for lunch, wait for long time in line and then when I finally get food, it is all bullshit. Suddenly, this all reminds me of you and makes my eyes wet remembering old days.
(Reality: Dude, why the masi where we used to go for food, was so fida on you? She used to keep all the good food for you and give us whatever the bullshit left over.What you had that I did not have? I was the first admission in the college, I had better hair than you, I threw chalk at KRT sir from first batch and still, he did not catch me, Fiza madam used to think I was the least naughty guy in the practical batch, MA Patel never asked me to carry surveillance chain because he thought I would fall down, I stole news paper with photos of actresses from library, I drank the whiskey that Vishnubhai hid in ground before the police raid and then took out after one year, I used to shave in balcony so that Pinky from opposite apartment can see me shaving, My invented story of going to Akshardham apartment were way better than stories invented by other guys, Mihir Gohil and Kunal Vakharia were my ex-roommates (though, I missed Manish Mistry, otherwise, you guys would have to salute me every time you meet me), I had more guys willing to rent me their bike than you, Jagruti used to call me "Bhaiya", I smoked fake cocaine our don used to buy and still acted like I am in real euphoria (Only after smoking this fake stuff and seeing the other guys in front of you, you realize the need for acting), I was there (just there in front) 25 times when Vijay clicked on HeraPheri movie icon and started copying Babu rao's dialog, Evern Raju Betaria saluted me when I slept in the Rajvi room where the dog died. Dude, all this and still, masi was fida on you. why?

Milan Patel

Every time, I see a Desi guy buying gas-station, it reminds me of you, makes me proud and cry at the same time.
(Reality: Dude, why you were so bad in programming? I get afraid that someday, you will buy new store and call me to write programs for daily calculations.


Dinesh Hingu
 Life is so colorless without you, buddy.
 (Reality: Dude, your prescription goggles specs were so antics. They used to change color and so many different colors based on environment. You will see a huge variety of colors in Hingu's eye while with him that you can not even predict but still, deep down you know the person who will come out from behind if those specs are removed and that will be off course Hingu:)

Palak Mehta
During cold winter, you open the shower, turn the knob to maximum hot but there is no hot water. This is the moment that reminds me of you, friend!!!
(Reality: Dude, why was the water in shower always cold on our floor of the hostel during exam times? why you had to go for shower after reading each chapter? And dude, you were not even wet most of the time after coming out of the shower. what the hack, man!!!)

For everybody else
 If you are not on this list,  it does not mean that you are not my special friend. It might be just that I do not have anything to write about you right now. In a way, that is good. right?
(Reality: Dude, Get real. You need to do something special for me to be my special friend:):):). Just kidding. Love you all.)

Why god?

I was reading an article about increasing number of people not getting enough food everyday.
United Nation's goal was to cut this number by half but it increased to 1 billion now.

1 Billion people everyday just living on one or less meal. Here, I have never seen how being hungry feels and I can only imagine how I can live and work without enough food. It is very tearful. It must be really really hard. Nobody shall suffer this pain.

On this festival week of Diwali, I pray to Laxmimata that please give enough food to every human being. I also request you to pray the same and I have faith as I have mentioned in my previous post also that many prayers together will create some miracle.

Can united we defeat swine flu virus?

Hello friends,

October 12th is my birthday. So, I was thinking about what shall I wish for this year? I just heard news yesterday that swine flu has reached to my home town in India. Lots of people have already died this year due to this fatal virus all over the world.

I believe that if all our minds come together and think about an issue then that thought will become very powerful and will come alive. My wish is simple. Let us all together curse the virus and I wish that our thoughts together will make the virus depressed and weak. I do not have any scientific proof but we know sometimes, faith is beyond science. I wish you all will support me by taking time to write a comment.

Please take a minute and curse the virus in whatever language you want. I also hope that people will not go overboard and only curse constructively and not in offending language to anyone.

So, lagao gali ji bharke...
