After attending my classmate's son's wedding in the forenoon, we'd reached my uncle's place which is in the outskirts of the city. Suresh and Sindhu had played the perfect hosts and looked after us catering to our minutest requirements. And after dropping them back at their place, we'd set off for the next destination.
Chambu - I call him that - was thrilled to have us at his place as always. The young lad is into his final semester in engineering, with Mechanical Engineering as his principal branch. He's a bit apprehensive about his overall performance as he's to clear a backlog of papers of the past one or two semesters. And he doesn't have any great ambition for now, except for the fact that his parents should be satisfied with the end results!
He stammers quite a bit and cutely admits that it's because of a lack of self confidence! A clear example of a youngster having done a serious introspection and a no-nonsense audit upon himself, very seldom found in his generation!! I've always loved my interactions with him when he's shown great courage in discussing his problems, the activities that he could have done better with forethought and determination, why he's still not decided on what profession he must pursue, his current friends and the necessary steps that need to be undertaken to give his stammer the final bye!
I'm sure that he'll do well in life and I wish him all the luck. Chambu, here's wishing that you get whatever you wish for. Take care and do not lose your disarming candour, ever because that's your ticket to success! May god be with you in all your endeavours!!
Tailpiece.
1. A fast moving day with interesting interactions. Feel rejuvenated!
2. Saw the Malayalam movie, "Oru Indian Pranayakatha'' (An Indian Love Story). Nice story telling and good acting. It's a good movie after a hiatus. Mom was initially not keen but warmed up to the movie as it progressed but the cinema's air conditioning system was working overtime as it's harsh - probably, because we're seated right under the a/c ducts!
3. Farooq Sheikh, the winsome hero of the so-called parallel cinema of yesteryear has passed into the mist of time. I've enjoyed his subdued and effortless acting in every movie of his and the lovely number that comes instantaneously to my mind is 'tum ko dekha tho yeh khyaal aayaa', picturised on him and Deepti Naval.
RIP, Farooq Sheikh. My humble prayers. You shall be remembered by the generations to come for your stellar contributions.
