Sometimes it makes me wonder, am I really surrounded by people who wants the best for me? I have always felt that yes, I have those people on whose lap i can lay my tired head and sleep at ease, drag them to watch films which I like, argue on Chinese and Continental cuisines, on the middle of the night call them just to say 'I was missing you' or 'I just saw you in my dreams', scold them for spending money unnecessarily, barge into their office just to hug and say 'Felt like having lunch with you', disturb their daily schedule just to get wet in the summer rains, and probably what not. But these small memories make my life such divinely blissful that I woke up every morning and smile to God and say, 'Thank you so much for giving me such friends'.
I still remember few weeks I went to one of my friend's office and he was busy in some board meeting, making some presentations. His secretary tried to stop me from entering his office, but I didn't pay any attention to her and opened the door. Every naked eyes stared at me with such abhorrence that made me felt I wasn't welcomed there at all. But my friend not caring anything came forward, said with smile, 'Thank god, you came. I was praying to see your face.' And without a thought, hugged me tightly asking to wait for half an hour in his room. I felt so touched.
Similarly few weeks back and dragged one of my very good friend to see Paan Singh Tomar with me, but he was insisting on Houseful2. I said, 'Ok first Paan Singh then Houseful', he agreed after a such argument. everyone there thought we were a couple that argued like this. So we saw both, but after Paan Singh, she smiled, 'I dont know somehow you are always right, whenever movies are there. At least you are there, otherwise who would have tolerated like this.' And we laughed at each other on a cafe and paint each other with chocolate pastries instead of eating them.
And last week, one of my friend had come from Kolkata, I pondered if he could go to his guest house without being cheated by the cabbies or the auto-rickshawallahs. Without any thought, I detoured my way, picked him up and dropped him to his guest house, got his work done and left for my work. While returning, I was still thinking, did I do it right or not. But when sms-ed me, a smile came up reflexively, he wrote, 'At least care is still there in this world. Thought who cares in this big metropolitan, but least there are people who can go far with you for making your life easy.'
How strange! People you live with, people whom you work with, people whom you surround, can't even re-liven that innocence in you, bring out the kindergarten tranquility in your heart. I dont say that I can do that, but my friends and people around me do that without even a second thought.
That's why I thought of penning them somewhere so that the whole world knows people still can love without expecting anything in return. After all we are human beings, and humanity had thrived for just caring love.
