Nithyanandam
He is the fastest man on earth.. (Can I say
this??). Whatever, he does he would do it quickly, be it taking a bath or eating
a meal or finishing some work, ahead of all of us always. I would say when we
get up for getting ready for training session; he would be already ready after
his breakfast. A man of words and perfection personified. He is almost aggressive, but for a good cause
always. When he gives commitment, he will not listen to himself later (Am
I sounding like Salman Khan or Vijay??). He was our real hero much before all
these filmy guys.
Though he was not there with me for a major
portion of life, but God has given me the opportunity to spend some 2, 3 years
of life together with him and in that more than a year in the same house with
him. He was everything for me. I need to highlight here and show my gratitude
to him. There is no other way, I will be able to do justice for what he had
done to me.
My stay in own quarters has come to an end
and I have already stayed in 2 houses for brief periods. Nithya was not willing
to take over a quarter considering the last 18 months of service and his family
has been positioned at Chennai, though he has registered for. When I was facing
the difficulties of frequent shifting, I approached him once and asked him
knowing fully that he was not willing. But what a surprise, he just taken over
the quarter for me to stay and in that sense, he offered me a shelter. I was
not allowed to enter the house to share the initial works and he flatly refused
that I should not step in the house citing that my health would deteriorate if
I am present during white washing of house. He did it everything on his own,
including the additional wiring that the house required and asked us to move in
almost after a week. It was like a furnished house made ready exclusively for
us. Such was the care and attention that he took in doing everything.
Nithya’s wife with Avinash came from Chennai
during vacation and she has fed us with so many delicacies. What a nice and
tasty way she prepares food. During final days, when we finished all
formalities like visiting Delhi for final clearance and job fair etc, time has
come for packing things. I am a novice in doing such things and in every
posting one or other had helped me in doing such things.
This time it is quite different. Nithya was
scheduling my packing as to how to pack, when to pack etc. He did packing
single handedly for me with very minimal support from me. One should have seen
the packing to see how he has taken maximum care to ensure things go in proper
condition. The things have been dispatched to Pune to my parents and since I
was searching for the job, we decided not to open the packing.
Finally the packing was opened at Mumbai
after almost 4 months from the date of packing and I was surprised to see that
everything was intact. The truck people who came at Chandigarh for taking the
consignment and the people at Pune who delivered it and again the TCI packers
& movers who came to reload it at Pune and deliver it to Mumbai have been
surprised at the professional packing!!. They could not believe it…. The times
that we spent with him at Chandigarh will remain evergreen. The association
with him at the very beginning and at the end of career was a sheer
coincidence….
To be continued....
