2008..14 june..."rajpoth" launched...we both were playing maternal cousins....you..rahul..me...nikhil...started meeting almost everyday...started interacting with you...exchanged ideas...had private parties...chatted up...worked together in tandem....last time i worked with you was on 4th october..2008...mohapanchami....you alarmingly yellow with jaundice....got your frantic calls during pujas about your high temperature....couldn't meet you during that time..assuring myself that you were in proper hands....suddenly on the 14th i heard you are admitted in kothari medical centre....i rush to see you....taking special permission, for you were in the I.T.U....where non-medical people are not allowed...but strangely i was,among the very few outsiders!!..i thank my stars because i wouldn't have talked with you for the last time otherwise...wouldn't have cried at seeing your alarming state...couldn't have kissed your palm and said that.."you said that you are a phoenix bird pat-da..you have to survive".....i started frequenting the hospital...never to see or talk with you again..as your condition kept deteriorating....you being put in ventilation...and then on 7th november 2008...i get a call at 8 am from moumitadi that you are no more.....i rush to see you for the last time....see you in your eternal sleep..smiling your princely smile...i follow you to your home...then to the crematorium..where i left you all alone by yourself to travel to the other world....me driving as fast and far as i could...and crying all my tears out in wildnerness.....!!! As i entered the make up room today....i could feel your presence everywhere..your voice resonating....you giving me a hug...you appreciating my work..you sharing your food...you asking me to let you sleep on my lap.....you smiling...joking...keeping the make up room alive....i cry again..probably i will for the rest of my life..because i do not care what anyone may say about you...but me being one of your truest friend and brother knew your clean soul...golden heart...warmth...grief...aspirations...!! i am heavy today...so are many of your friends..rest assured....i have kept you in your favourite corner of your make up room...smiling jovially..as you always did....you have not left us pat-da..you have travelled...may you find peace THERE!! i love you a lot!!
