One would never to want to end such sweet
memories.. But things have come to an end so that we can sit back and relax and
refresh our glorious past. Sometimes we need to come to present as well. Living
in present and maximize the enjoyment and pleasure in present is also equally important.
Past memories drive and encourage us to live in the present.
It gives me an immense satisfaction, when I
look back those wonderful moments and equally happy to have placed it on record.
One may wonder why this all of a sudden… generally it happens in a Silver
jubilee or Golden jubilee year.
Though, I thought of all these aspects but I
followed it strictly as per Kabir Das’ famous couplet, which goes to say
“Kaal
Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ab
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub”
Which
can be translated as follows
[Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now
if the moment is lost, the work be done how]
When
I was portraying each individual, I was living with them literally, delving on
those beautiful past. It was an experience in itself and cannot be described in
words. It was a journey, a penance….
Though,
I have written about only 15 stars, there are many unsung heroes who have
associated with me in all these 24 years. “Chubby” Deepak who taught how to
speak Hindi (though I know to read and write), “Charming” Shailender, my stiff
competitor ( I enjoyed the challenge, though I lost it), “Big eyed” Ram Bahadur
Tiwari, “Pleasant” Joymalya Sengupta, “Racer” Jose Noel, “Blue blood” Giridhar,
“Smart” Banerjee, The only “Singh is King” Ballu alias Balwinder Singh Saini, “Gentleman
turned Officer” Vinod Nair are still refreshingly associated in memories. I dedicate to all stars, including whose names have not come in this series
On
this day, 24 years before, we started our first training session at 3 AM…..
Meet
you guys after some time, on a different note, but at the same place…. Till then
keep “jogging” your memories. I end my series on this note and with even a
greater resolution that we keep our flag flying high…
The End

Dear Vasuuuuuuu....
Brilliant Presentation.
I could understand each word of yours has come out of your heart. I have no words to express. What shall I say? Shall I appreciate your way of writing (alphabetically too)? Shall I admire your memory power? Shall I appreciate your gratefulness (in this present world, where people forget the help just rendered a day before)? Above all is your FRIENDSHIP.. I am not able to tell my feelings in English, So I am shifting to mother tongue:
எதிரியாய் இருக்க எண்ணும் உள்ளங்களும்
உன் இதயம் பார்த்து, அன்றே இளகிடுமே
உதயத்தைத் தந்திடும் அந்தச் சூரியனும்
உன்முன்னே சிறிதாய்த் தெரிந்திடுமே...
பிறரைப் போற்றும் பொய்மொழிகள்
வார்த்தைகளில் சிறிதும் கலக்காமல்
உள்ளத்தில் உள்ளதைப் பரைந்துள்ளாய்
நட்பில் புதினம் வரைந்துள்ளாய்
என்னே சொல்வேன் உன் அன்பை
எழுத்துக்கள் 247 போதவில்லையே
24/7 தொலைக்காட்சி போல் - எம்மையே
24 வருடமும் நினைத்திருந்தாயோ.......???
நாளையே என் வாழ்வு முடிந்திடினும்
நல் நட்புடன் வாழ்ந்த பெருமை கொள்வேன்
இறைவனை அங்கு நான் காண நேர்ந்தால்
அவனுக்கும் உன்நட்பின் பெருமைசொல்வேன்
இதைத்தவிர எழுதிடவும் இயலவில்லை
இசைவோடு வாழ்வதே நமது எல்லை
அசைபோட்டு நீ எழுதிய அனைத்து அன்பும்
அப்பட்டமான உண்மை அதில் ஐயமில்லை!
So, it shows how much you love (y)our friends and honour (y)our friendship.

Dear vasu,
Great effort. Hats-off. I don't remember certain activities. Your remembrance itself speak volumes of how much you are involved. If you are not really interested, you will not remember. This is really practical. May god bless with more capacity as the day pass by in your Hard Disc!!!
Sriram
அன்புள்ள வாசு
எத்தனை கோடி புண்ணியம் செய்தேனோ உன்னை நண்பனாக பெறுவதற்கு...?
நெஞ்சம் உருகினேன்....
அன்புச்செல்வன்
