Life take turns
people come and go
situations good or
bad
but you shall always
move on....
It's been a while
since life took an unexpected turn. Everything was in order. He had a good
looking cute nice sensible(yes, they do exist) girlfriend (who was actually a
childhood crush turned love interest). He was scoring well at graduation
school, semester by semester, year by year. Life seemed to be normal yet so
perfect. Believing in it was becoming a usual routine.
But they say, it
ain't better till it's complicated a little. Well, they were right, it did
happen!!
Against the run of
play, he started drinking, smoking, getting high on alcohol at the drop of hat,
smoking unnecessarily even at the slight different situation away from normal
routine. He started arguing with his girlfriend, someone who he loved beyond
definition, someone who was always dear to him and someone, for whom he saved
his misery pocket allowances for long, just to book himself a flight ticket and
meet her in the other city she shifted to. Everything was falling apart. Looked
like god has started with his "struggle for survival" period now.
And then, she left
him. a 12 year saga went off in a flash. THEY BROKE UP!
He was distressed,
down and out, graduation was complete and he was sitting at home waiting for
his joining letter to come (yes, another engineer was placed at campus, lucky
chap, eh?) He started over thinking, over reacting at situations, getting
drowned in the dark world of alcohol and tobacco. A happy life was just turning
its head on him.
He thrived to
live, but kept mum all day, cried his heart out all night. it was turning out
to be a perfect story for a 80's sad romantic reel story where a blue eyed
young man has lost his love interest and play some musical instrument with a
trademark 'dhun' all day long and dance with truck drivers at the night,
totally engulfed in alcohol and smoke.
Things were going
to take turn. He expected god to be kind to him.
Well, the almighty
never disappoints, does he?
Out of nowhere
comes an offer for this young man, to do something he used to love and live
for.
"Sir,
This is to request
you to kindly offer your guidance and services for xyz event and help us make this
a successful venture. Your arrival on board will be a huge bonus for us. We
request you to take the post of the Head of the Organizing Committee and be on
board for the entire duration of the event."
Things will shape
up well, and I'll live another day, he said to himself.
