How weird time passes by…One and a half year elapsed after I graduated from BITS…
In the quest of acquiring knowledge, I had to land in a lonesome place-pilani on 29th July, 2002. It was during this journey here, a special friend I had met, who fortunately happened to be roommate in my first year…And he is the late penagamuri sashanka,he who offered his hand in support, doing little extra something to bring out the best in me adding still more to joys of life by his thoughtful loving things.
It was by his constant encouragement that faith and hope planted within me, giving me power to believe in myself and be optimistic as well as ardent about everything I did …Trying to nurse the notion of being lonely and thinking of things I truly adore, happiness began in me, each time remembering a good thought infused and shared by him either in the form of his words or his deeds.
It was on November 18th ,2003…when I realized that he was no more and had left this world forever, I stood mute unable to accept and acknowledge his loss…It was for the very first time, I shed so many tears realizing what death really was! I found everything insipid and cheerless at that moment in his absence…
It was only after his loss that I realized as to why god gifted us with such friends…the enduring bond and affiliation in the one year we shared, is infact difficult to explain and put into words. I always feel like to get him back wishing to seek vindication from the lord…but consoled by the very fact that his heart was pious and sublime enough, making the angels of god in their circumspect choice.With all my heart, I want him back just to say atleast a goodbye.
He had a great innate interest towards studies and music aswell.He was eloquent enough possessing excellent communication skills...He has always been a source of cheer…Though many friends we meet in our life, today I feel proud to gladly call him a great friend of mine, who was very dear, true, kind, lending a helping hand always.Its b’coz of all his immense qualities, that his absence yet intensifies with a warm feel in the heart till today…And whose moments & memories I still treasure and that shall last forever…
It was one of the many life changing moments for me in many a sense.... My understanding and seriousness to practice spirituality amidst all my materialistic aspirations got strengthened...Shashank and I were workshop groupees through 1-2...
I still remember the funny jokes shashank and I had together, exciting physics discussions we had. The smart chap is just a prayer away from us. first year wingies...and simply can define and restrain how good he was. tears roll down our eyes, only to acknowledge, we cannot get him back.
