Sole Being, Manifold Aliases...

Has anyone wondered how many names your beloved friend can have??

Yes, I have... :)

My Beloved friend was named as "JOHN" by his parents, i.e. His Christian name, On His Baptism day! BUT...

I met him when I was 10, and now I have soo many names to call Him.., not just like that, but I mean each and every name, as He's lived up to, His behavior, in short I can say, He's earned them! :)

• JIJU                                                                                                   This was rather the 1st name, as this is the relation with which He came into my life... Initially, the naughty me called Him as "John", later realizing, or may be time taught me to call Him as "Jiju"... ;)
• R.K.                                                                                                   The famous Ram Kapoor serial, that is telecasted on Sony Entertainment Television, the serial name is: "Bade Aache Lagtein Hain".., Mr. Ram Kapoor, the main lead in the serial, Had many similar ways of behaving, talking, looks, handling family relations, the way of looking at things, just as my Jiju does.., whenever I saw the serial I felt like my Jiju was there live with me, and I'm watching him.., so I ended calling him my R.K.
• SWEETHEART                                                                                       As He listens to me so patiently, at any point of time, never in a hurry, in fact with any person He interacts, He makes them feel wanted, important..which is the best part of any conversation...
• TEDDY                                                                                                    During a wedding, we clicked snaps together, so one of my friends had commented "He's soo cute ya, just like a teddy bear".., that's how He got this name... :)
• SWEETU, DARLING, HONEY                                                                        He's soo sweet, the way He behaves with me, So sometimes while we chat, i call Him "Sweetu G"..Darling and Honey are chat names too... :) ;) :P :*
• J.P.                                                                                                    This is kind of a official name, we at home once were giving names to each based on our respective initials, so we named Him "JP" (John Pinto)...and He named me as "3M"(triple M-Madam Mehal Mense)
• SUSEGAT                                                                                              Konkani word for aaramse! This is because, the day He was to leave from one place to another as He had His flight from the other place, we had actually travelled far and reached at about 7pm that eve, and if He had to leave, He would have to by 10pm to reach His destination, but He rather ended up postponing His flight altogether!  That's why, Susegat, no hurry!!! :) 
• SALIM                                                                                                  One Christmas I had purchased a Anarkali dress, and on seeing that, He called me "Anarkali" and Himself "Salim"! That's how if I am Anarkali, He's my Salim!! ;)
• JIJAJI                                                                                                     Some times he gives me Gyaan just like that, so those are the times I call Him "Jijaji"... :D
• SANTA-CLAUS                                                                                          Whenever He comes from overseas, He gets something or the other for everyone, He got this name as on the day He arrives He keeps on removing one by one from His bag, saying this is for so and so, so and so.. :)
• SMARTY (my Encyclopedia)                                                                       He has information regarding almost all and any topic on the face of earth, visible and invisible, practical and divine! So i call Him my Smarty as well as my Encyclopedia.., also the way He carries Himself is just Smart!
• GOLU-PUTTAR                                                                                    This one is related to RK serial, whoever watched it and knows my Jiju, will  definitely know.. :) ;)
• GADGET GURU                                                                                      Around him one can find all types of Gadgets, cell phones, laptops, tablets...to name a few, He knows all of them, That's why, Gadget Guru! :)
• SHONA                                                                                                I read a novel, in which the girlfriend calls her boyfriend as "Shona".., so do I call my boyfriend as "Shona"... ;)
• HANDSOME                                                                                              He calls me "Beautiful" so obviously He's my "Handsome".., and again not just because of this reason, He's really handsome.. :)
• HERO                                                                                                      He's not less than a "Hero", He has all the qualities to be called as one.., and so He's my Hero...  

Thus I can say, just like a dedicated Actor, gives his 100% to do the role assigned to him, so does my Sweetu give his cent percent to fulfill the role He's in, at different times, different places, rendering His best... :)

In Loving Memory Of...

It's been almost 3 decades, You left this earthly abode, but since then You look at us, Your children from the heavenly abode...
        I wasn't privileged enough to meet You physically, but somewhere deep down in my heart, I feel You and Your presence...I've been hearing from Mummy many of Your stories & and incidents she experienced with You, Also many of our old neighbors, still have lots of praises for You, mostly the way You did treat them, some day in their lives, when they were in need, or even just a simple "Hello" gesture from You...
       Mummy told me that, even though You suffered severely in Your last days, You never complained about Your state, neither did You fail to ask the people who came to see You "how they were" & and You enquired about them and their well being...

I feel proud to be Your granddaughter, wish to be like You...

Hope You get this little message of mine as you see me from above!

"Dream"

It was a weird dream...
    On 16th April 2013.., my night began quite early.., bade good night to my close ones and at about 10:06pm was in my bed.., I was too tired, as it had been a long day at college!
    Fell asleep too very soon.., and then I didn't even realize when I took off to see a mixed dream!
    Here I begin.., it was a summer afternoon. I had some exam and was preparing for it.., it had not mango showered yet, more than a month it's been scorching hot and we were hoping that it would rain soon.., and there I could see black clouds in the sky,  was very much happy to see them, they began pouring!.., and to my surprise I could see my beloved friend beside's me, waiting for me to enjoy these moments in real, together.., which we only texted each other until then...
    Next I didn't even realize when this scene got transformed into a scary experience.., what I saw was, My Dad and myself, we were out and returning home from market, on a double road we were on our Activa.., we were safe but next what I saw (still when I think of it get's Goosebumps on me...) I saw a terrible accident, in which I could see a man's arm cut he is bleeding like anything totally unconscious.., and a nurse helping to put him on a stretcher and into the ambulance.., and I was totally in a shock how to react to this thing.., was so damn scared that the next moment I was up on my bed, terrified...I got up, put on the light only to see that it was 3am in the morning..!
     I tried hard to sleep, closed my eyes yet could not, feeling was really uneasy, finally woke up to check my cell at 3:28am and read few messages that had arrived when I was asleep, and saw my beloved friend's picture in there and then went off and tried to sleep again, said prayers and was chanting a prayer and I don't know when I finally could sleep!
     Next morning when I recalled my dream, I was thinking of it, it was neither completely bad nor completely good either.., was just trying to figure out what exactly did this dream mean...and was surprised to look at my horoscope which read: "You'll have a dream about your relationship and this will make you agitated. Don't take any notice of this dream as it only represents your fear of losing your beloved." .., felt like as though someone was watching me over in the night and conveyed me this message!!
