A Beautiful Preoccupation
Just read hemant's post and seeing as he has managed to take some inspiration from me ( ;D ), i thought i wud post a response..
As long as i have known him, he has always been the practical, logical, confident and ever smiling young man..in many ways he is similar to me with many of the same qualities..and in many ways, so very beautifully different..when we chatted a few weeks back and i first came to know about the turmoil he was experiencing, it was like nothing before.... Other friends of mine have confided in me about their private lives and their troubles and i have always done my very best to try and make things better..as hemant says, the smiles on their faces after the tears are wiped away is a feeling better than any...he has taken pleasure in helping people move on and through out the time i have known him, he has always been the same..i am sure many others will stand with me on that... And so, when i found out about his troubles, it aroused a mixture of feelings in me..mild and bizzare amusement that he had actually finally come to a point in life where the practicality was no longer evident..where there was no logical solution..where the power of a clear mind, for so long his strength, had suddenly vanished like the sunset in a desert..at the same time, i was concerned, for i had never seen him like that..and yet, at the same time, pride at the way he conducted himself through his misery..pride at the concern he was still displaying for other's feelings when his own were in disarray..i was confident that he would, in his own time, find a way through the mist and fog and emerge on the shores, ready to move on again..i am glad and proud that he felt he could confide in me, that he allowed me to lend a helping hand in what small way i could, and that he has come out of it a stronger, better person...he can't help but laugh about how such times brng out the philosophers in us..i for one, never thought either of us would ever post such experiences..but we have, and no doubt, we will again.. And so, for the second time in as many days, a toast; to friends, old and new who make this life easier for us; and to life, good or bad, happy or sad, wherever we may be, whatever we may be doing, for there is no greater test than life,...... and no success as sweet...my best wishes and may happy days be here forever... and finally, to end on a funny note, a quote which is slightly deserving of the ocassion..hemant, this is for u, seeing as u have done this with the people u needed to during these last few weeks...
