My Roomie...
For people who are familiar with orkut, how many times did it happen that you wrote testimonial for a friend, filled it with lots of good things about him/her and he/she rejected it saying that "I do not want people to have pre-formed opinions about me". Yes, it happened with me when i wrote a testimonial for my room-mate, Lalit. :-)
He has been my roomie for the last 4 and a half years and in this time period, everybody(including him) say that i got changed. All because of him. When i stepped into kolkata for my college, i was full of "I", now I use more "you". The difference is what he taught me and still teaches with every new day. Living with him, i learnt how to care for others, he taught me how my problems are not so big to keep worrying about always, how to never think much on petty issues.
He is the one person who has stuck by me in my most depressing times...yes, there was a time when i did not want to talk to anyone, had it not been for him, i would have lost myself. He helped me regain my confidence. He taught me the trivial facts of life. He always serves as an inspiration. How often do you find people supportive in your cause without any glint of personal interests. How often do you find someone who does not mingle with the crowd much but in his own way helps each one of them.
Lalit is a guy who knows it all. He knows whats right and whats wrong. You just have to be friends with him to realize that. A great artist, full of creativity, embodiment of perseverance, full of love, he is the best friend one can ever have.
I just pray i be there whenever he wants me. Only thing i have for him is respect, true respect for what he is.
