Love me the way I Love you

Disclaimer: The story is fictious,the characterizations in the story are real. Taken some incidents happened in real life and made into a story.

The narrator is a journalist in a NEWS channel (TV1).

I am Mahesh, a journalist in TV1. I have been a part of investigation journalism from past two years, but I always remember the case that occurred on 08 April 2009. On that day morning as usual I got up and opened my bed room window and found rain drizzling outside with cool air touching me, I felt as though I was in heaven for some time, I ran towards my front door opened it and went jumping outside and saw kids playing in the rain, I became a kid for some time and enjoyed with them by jumping in the water and playing with them. My mom called me “you are grown up for marriage still you are playing like a kid” , I went inside and got ready , to go for office.

              Now my routine work starts , from a long time I did not find any interesting news to cover , so thought of taking an off, called up one of my school friends and we went to Lumbini park in Hyderabad ,we were watching the musical fountain show suddenly I heard a shout from a guy “ run away!!! there is a bomb here.” everyone was in a state of panic and they started running away from that place ,suddenly I heard a blast but god’s sake everyone cleared that place but the plastic chairs and stuff near the blast area were thrown away into air, and few people got injured because of it , but a plastic chair which was above the bomb flew and injured the guy who intimated about the bomb,  he became unconscious, I called up 108 ambulance service and  rushed to hospital with the guy, Similarly two more blasts occurred in two other parts of Hyderabad and for god’s sake no one got much injured but three other people, including the guy I rushed to hospital were in coma, after enquiry I found the other guys also came to protect the people from blasts in other areas.

       As I am a journalist called up whole my team to hospital and Our TV channel gave the live updates to the people all over  world about the blasts, many rumours came up saying the four guys(two guys and Two gals) who were in coma are terrorists , the police surrounded the hospital even the CM asked for CID enquiry.

The whole city was in Panic and there were mixed opinions about the guys, some felt they are good, some felt they ran away from terrorist troops , after listening to many opinions I felt they might not be good people.

       Day 2 : 09 April 2009 it is early morning 5 Am small kids of ages 5-15 started gathering near hospital (they were around more than 50 kids), followed them with some ladies(around 8 of them) they were trying to go inside the hospital, the police were pushing them outside. I with my team went to them the kids were crying, one of them who is of age 15 is trying to convince police to go inside; the police threatened the guy saying “they were terrorists they will kill you if you go inside”. The guy answered “they were not”, again after 5 minutes time 8 to 10 beggars came to the hospital to meet the guys, again after some time a red parrot followed by birds and animals (they were 10 birds,2 dogs, 1cat) came there to the hospital, I was surprised by seeing animals coming to meet the persons in hospital, then I thought this might be very interesting case.

        I asked my team to switch on camera “let’s take the interview of all the people who gathered near hospital”. But the police did not allow us, Its morning 6:30 am the sun is just peeping out from sky, the road to the hospital was full of trees , we can see shadows of trees and the flowers were falling on the road , suddenly I saw a wind coming like hurricane towards the hospital and when it is about to come near ,I found it was some one coming on bike with a very high speed, he stopped the bike near the hospital, he is well built, wearing  a Hugo boss T shirt , he  went near the hospital door he confessed to police “ I am  the friend of the four guys”, the police stopped him going inside.

      I with my team went to him , I started asking questions as a journalist, who are you….blah blah blah…he answered that his name is Hari friend of those four guys working in Hyderabad, he did not want to reveal anything apart from that he went to the garden near the hospital and sat there , slowly I also went there and started questioning are your friends terrorists then he shouted at me “why do you think so?” and then cooled himself and replied “Yes they are”, he started recalling his past and  started telling about the past.

The below story is written as narrated by Hari.

Meeting New friends:

It was a hot surreal day and we were shifting to the Quarter allotted to mom by the government’s was 13 then. Dad died recently (He is a military officer, government alleged a false case on him, so he himself shot with his gun and he died as he could not tolerate the false allegation) and so we had to move to the railway quarters. Mom worked in Railway Mail Service and so she was allotted a quarter. We reached the entrance to the township and asked the guards about the quarter we will be living in. The guard gave the directions to us and we headed to our quarter. Mom was holding a small briefcase and I was holding my school bag along with a pouch mom told me to keep safely.

We told the truck driver to proceed. We didn’t have many belongings, so a mini truck did it all. Soon we reached Quarter No. 781, and I told mom that the right corner part will be ours as it was marked C. There were three other families in the same quarter in different blocks, i.e. A, B and D. I was happy that the playground was very near to our quarter. We headed towards the door and Mom brought out the keys to open the door. We went in and the peoples we hired brought the things in. Mom paid the truck driver and told me to freshen up so that we can lay the things in correct places.

I could see that my mom was not at all happy. Sadness was all over her face. Due to the hot weather she looked even more terrifying with beads of sweat all over her eyelids and forehead. She resembled a corpse who after struggling for survival, at last was dead. I told mom to sit and rest for sometimes in the chair that was unpacked. She did as I said. I went out to block A and rang the bell. Someone from inside said,

"Coming...!!!",

I was standing in front of the door and suddenly the one who responded opened the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw someone whom I had never seen earlier. Oh

how stupid of me, how can I see her earlier. My eyes were transfixed on her. Her eyes had depth and I was going deep into them. She had a fair complexion and had red cheeks.

I was gazing at her like anything when suddenly she replied,

"Excuse me.... Do you want something?"

I said stammering, "Ah...h..h. actually we have just shifted here. Me and my mom in Block C. I am Hari and I thought if I could get a bottle of cold water from you. If you don’t mind."

"No, not at all !!! Come in... " She replied and we went in, she continued, "So you guys 

shifted in today. Cool !! Well feel free to ask anything... We are there to help you guys."

This gal was so humble and helping. I was really happy to find such great neighbours.

I was genuinely in need of good friends and she seemed a good option.

"Mom, Block C is being occupied. Our new neighbour is here. " Shouted my neighbour.

"Wait Neeti, 'm coming...." said her mom...

Oh her name was Neeti. Wow!!! Great name... I gave a smile back at her and said,

"So your name is Neeti ."

"Oh yes!! How did you know that?" she said...

I was astonished, Just now her mom called out his name and she is asking me how I knew. 

I gave a blank expression and said, "I guess your mom called you out with that name only."

"Oh!! What a fool I am!! Hahahahaha...." she laughed...

I too released a small laughter and she gave the bottle of cold water. I told her, "I think I should leave now. Mom is alone and she need to drink some water as she is very tired and worn out."

"Oh sure. Mom, he is going!!!" she said.

"Ya coming in a minute...." her mother replied.

Soon her mother arrived and we had a hi-hello session. I told her about my dad and mom and finally decided to leave. She was sorry for what happened with us but I said its ok.

I went out and headed to my block. I went in and handed a glass of cold water to Mom. She had it and said thanks to me. We freshened up soon and then ate the things we bought from market. We than started unpacking the furniture’s and placed them at right places. My mom was my friend. We both shared a good space between us. We had fun with each other. We would mock each other and all sort of stupid stuffs. I was happy to get a mother like her. She is just awesome. It took almost the whole afternoon and also the evening to unpack things. Finally it was over at around 7:30 in the evening. Our bell rang at around 8:00 and I opened the door. It was Neeti along with his Mom and Dad.

"Hi Hari... Unpacking over!!! Hi aunty, I am neeti... your neighbour." said Neeti

I said Hi to her and told uncle and aunty to enter. Mom gave a warm smile to all of

them and they sat on the sofa. Mom and Neeti's parent talked about this and that.

So we decided to skip it and went outside to have a word with each other.

"So Hari... Which class are you in?" Neeti asked..

"I am in eighth standard. " I replied...

"Oh that's even more cool... I too am in eighth standard." she said

"Really, than we will go along real well..." I said. In our conversation I noticed one 

thing... She repeated cool every now and then. She was cool....

Her parents invited us for dinner the same night as our kitchen was not yet ready.

Mom had to accept and finally we landed up having dinner at Neeti's place. In her I found someone, for whom I was waiting. I was longing for her and I finally found her'

It marked a new beginning in my life... A new dawn...

I don't know how my mom managed to get me in Delhi Public School. I was expecting the Railway govt. School, as now we had to live only on mom's income. But mothers are always concerned about the career of their kids. So was my mom. That's why she thought of opening a shop within the campus in our block where in frocks, salwar kameez, sari will be stitched by her. The whole responsibility was upon her but she managed well. She never made me feel that we were lacking something. I was very lucky to have her as my mother. On 1st of April new session was going to start. I have already bought the books for class eight from a second hand book shop.

          It was last of March, the next day in Town ship. I woke up early in the morning and brushed my teeth. Then I had a shower and went out to offer prayer to the tulsi that was placed in front of our quarter just in the left corner of the empty space. I saw that a girl almost of my age was offering prayer to the tulsi. I was waiting and watching her doing prayers. She lifted the jar and placed some water on the foot of the Tulsi.Then she placed the incense sticks in the place that was available for them along with the diya. She then burned them and kneeled down in from of the Tulsi. I too kneeled down along with her and when she turned, she saw me and asked,

"Hey!! Are you new here? I am from block D, right corner upper stair. So what is your name? How big is your family? So you pray in the morning. Good huh !!!"

My God... will she let me speak... I thought once and as I was about to open my mouth again she said,

"Why are you silent yaar... Reply naah!! No need to be shy. I am Anju."

This girl is real crazy... I just gave a smile and said, "Nothing like that. Hi, I am Hari.Me and my mom shifted yesterday. My family comprises of us two."

She replied, "Okay... So you are from block C. Why only mom and you? Dad works somewhere else?"

I was a little bit uncomfortable but this question was often asked to me so I was sort of used to it. I replied, "My dad is no more. He died a few days back."

She gave a look that was hard to read but I could sense she was lost. Maybe she was upset with herself for asking that question. All she said was, "Sorry !"

I said that it was ok and asked her in which class she was. 

She replied that she was in eighth standard. 

I was amazed and replied, "Is it? Great... Me also in eighth standard. I found two new 

friends who will be in same class as mine. I am very happy. So friends?" saying so I forwarded my hand towards her. She also shook my hand with hers and with a smile

replied, "Friends !!!"

She headed towards her block and as went up through the steps she looked back at me and waved her hand to say bye. I too reciprocated and went in. 

"Mom, you know there is another girl Anju in the same quarter that is also in eighth standard. I got two new friends. I think I will be able to adjust here soon." I said.

The next day morning it was so pleasant I called Neeti,Anju We three rode our bicycles and went to their usual place of hangout. The township 

was full of quarters and bunglows. There were dense forest on either side of the 

campus and also the right hand cross road linked the township to a small place

with trees ,flowers , benches made of wood and also swings. That was the usual place of hangout. Under every tree there were benches and we went inside one of them. It was a little bit secluded from the rest and when I looked in the trunk of the tree, I saw Anju, Neeti's and Vikas(chotu)  name craved in it. They told me that I was also a member of the tree club now, so I will also have to crave my name myself. Neeti handed me a knife like thing and told me to crave Hari.So I did.

Neeti said, "Welcome to our tree club... And enjoy the beauty of nature."

I was very happy to find her as my friend as well as Anju....

I enquired who is this vikas , Anju thought for a minute “ohh chotu “ ,he went to his native With his parents for vacation.Anju told that vikas pet name is chotu and we are used to that name she also told me “He dislikes that name(chotu) if some unknown person calls him”, then Neeti replied, hey see chotu is coming.

I saw a short fair guy ,blinking his eyes frequently with a naughty smile on his face came towards us.Anju introduced me he is vikas one of our friends.I introduced myself to him and asked him “which class are you studying?” he replied “I am in eigth standard”. He always has a smile in his face ,I suddenly called him chotuuu!!! His face became  violent red then I understood the situation and gave him a hug , with a smile asked him “friends”. He replied “friends” with a naughty smile.

The rest of the afternoon we talked and finally we decided

to leave our tree. I never expected that within a day I will get such good friends

but I did get them and I was really happy.

Episode :2

The School:

   It is mid June our school reopened, I got up early and was in anxiety  going to New school to meet new friends, even my mother also came with me  as the school arranged parent teacher meet for the new joiners, along with me many students were joined on that day, the meet was arranged in a auditorium of the school, A dark short person with a tummy wearing a suite, hosted the stage, he came near the MIC and started giving intro of him “ I am Anand Principal of the school and started to tell about the history of the school”. His speech lasted more than half an hour I thought myself “what a crazy person he is digging whole ancestral story of the school every one were madly listening to him, what they can do he is the principal.” Afterwards there is a get together between teachers, parents and new students.

   From far I saw someone is coming towards me they are Anju and neeti, they came to me and said “hi howz the meet, did you get the intro of our old motor mouth” I suddenly asked “who is that?, They just laughed and answered “Our principal”, then I thought this is the best chance to comment Anju, I said “Anju is that you commenting our principal?, the chatter box”. Then she gave me blow on my shoulder.”Eee” I yelled at her.

  Suddenly the wind started blowing and the trees around our campus started shredding leaves and flowers, it was a sunny day but slowly it started drizzling, we saw a rainbow appeared touching two clouds, it’s an awesome Scenic beauty. A tall handsome guy with athletic build from far started running towards us and the water on the ground was splashing out when he was running, his mom was standing there she gave him kerchief to wipe his face.

    He just saw Anju came towards her and introduced himself “ I am Deepu”, I don’t know what happened to Anju, she shook her hand with him and stuck like a statue staring at his eyes, even the guy was staring at her as though he was looking at a strange curious thing. Then Neeti interfered in middle and said “Cool I am Neeti” , Deepu just came to this world and said “Hi!” ,even I introduced myself to him,he bid bye to us and they went to meet principal.

    We saw  Vikas coming to meet us he said hi to us , we also said him “Hiii”.Anju was so curious and told  vikas “u know know” in anxiety, we met a person just now “ Deepu” he is like “Greek God” ,then vikas asked her innocently “Then what am I?”  , Anju replied “hoo your our sweet chotu” then vikas  started beating her “uuuu don’t call me chotu again” then Anju has beaten him on his back and ran away , from far she shouted “Chotuuuuuu.”

Next day the classes begin me, Anju, Neeti went together to the school, walking down the street full of trees. We came into the school premises and our class room is in second floor 8th B section, we said bye to Neeti who is in 8th A section. Slowly one by one student is entering the class, Me Anju,Vikas were sitting in the 3rd bench, and we did not allow anyone to sit in our bench though four pupil can sit comfortably.

   Deepu entered the class room, all the girls were starring at him,Anju was so excited, called deepu and offered to sit in our bench,Vikas was so angry and asked Anju “ what are you doing? You only told us we three only will sit in this bench?” Seeing this deepu said “sorry” to vikas and he went back to sit in some other bench,Anju pleaded deepu to sit in the same bench, she got angry on vikas and said “chotu be in your limits”, finally she managed and deepu sat in our bench, first few days we did not speak to him but latter on we became good friend of him.

           Deepu showed great affection towards me and chotu…and all were now best buddies….We all are now group of five best buddies in the school(Deepu,Hari,Vikas,Anju,Neeti)…

 One fine Sunday we all gathered in our quarters, we went to our tree house, now its time that Deepu name is written on our tree and we all together said “ Welcome to the Tree club and enjoy the beauty of nature…”,

There is a river stream near our tree club…and an old demolished house near by, so we enjoyed playing in the river stream, then we went to the old house,there we saw a lizard which was stuck to a mole, we tried to remove that mole and protect but we could not, we thought latter on we will call someone and ask for their help, while we are going to the house we need to pass by the river stream there we saw a red parrot which was floating in river water,Deepu has taken that in hands and found it was still alive,Deepu asked us “Is there any doctor in your quarters?” Chotu replied “ Ya an old vaternity doctor is there near by”, we all rushed to him…Doctor is an old person who just going to be retired…they were only two people in his house old doctor and his wife, we enquired “are there any kids to play in the house…? ”they replied no”, all our sons and grandsons and grand daughters were in US and settled there…they come once in a year to visit us…the old doctor treated the parrot ,within three days it was in its normal position…we named the Parrot as Tweety…She knows even how to speak…she heard us calling chotu …so the parrot repeated chotuuuu…Vikas got angry ….and yelled at us …even you guys spoiled the parrot also…we started calling the doctor and his wife as grand pa and grand ma…they were very much affectionate towards us…

Part :2

We all are studying in the same class, One day Deepu came late to the class .The teacher asked “Hey stand out, why did you come late?”  he did not utter a word. I stood up and said .Madam deepu was helping the old beggar who was shivering with fever outside. He took him to the hospital. I told him that you are getting late to school, he did not listen to me.

Then the teacher asked him to come inside .She tapped him on his shoulder and said “good work Deepu, I am proud to be your teacher”. she started telling about mother Theresa. We as a teacher feel proud that our students are keeping up the moral values which we teach, when they grow up. Not just earning perks. Everyone was keenly listening to her. I was not interested on all these though my father use to do good to the society, he was proved guilty that lead him to suicide.

Human Value Club:

Days and months passed we all became best buddies now we are in 12^th .All were about to reach our 18 years. One fine Sunday we along with the Doctor Grand pa and Grand ma decided to start human value club.

Free hugs:

Grand pa asked us to come up with good ideas, how we can serve the society better?
Then chotu started telling that Why can’t we do free hugs campaign. I said “What?”.He explained “Free Hugs Campaign is all about spreading love and happiness by giving a hug to a stranger.”

I prompted “Weird hugging the stranger”.Deepu, Anju, Neeti agreed for that. Next day we all met near the Husain Sagar Lake with a board “Free hugs” .Anju and Neeti were hugged by many but no one hugged us. It’s already one hour we are waiting here no one has come to hug us. I laughed at everyone. How will a stranger hug you. Stupid idea chotu. Then a beautiful young lady came near chotu hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks. Then he winked his eye and said “see” “isn’t this stupid idea?”.Then I took over the board from him and started shouting “free hugs”. I am so unlucky that all old ladies started hugging me.Chotu and others started laughing at me. I felt embarrassed, yelled at chotu , threw the board at them and left from that place.

Peaceful Orphan and elderly home:

With the help of Doctor Grand ma and Pa we started the Orphan and elderly home with a new concept.Got the Orphans from the streets and elderly people who need love and care to the Home,2 kids 1 elder and 1 younger and one oldage woman was made like a family.
We said  to elder kid "Believe that the younger one is like your eown brother or sister take care of him/her like your own".Same we said to old woman "Treat those kids like your own kids"...The Home went well with the bonding of happy families.We collected donations to run the home...send the kids to the school...got the oldage persons treated in hospitals.
A Trust was formed under the name of Peace home
The smile on the faces of kids and old age people made the Grand ma and Pa more happy.
We all were very much happy in that teenage.

MY Red Blood Shirt (Let go of the Life)

                                                                                                                                         
       In our life we would have seen many people, who are more adjustable, Jovial to any situation they come across. I got a friend who is near my house. The first thing you can remember about him is his smile .He is Deepu. He always crake jokes and very jovial guy. I asked him “did you love someone?” he just smiled.

“Tell me your secret of being happy always” again he smiled…He said “It’s a long story”

I asked him “Can you share that with me?”  He said “yes but not now”.

            One day I went to my friend’s home…he called me near the sit out in the balcony to have some refreshed air. Near the washing area, he saw the Red blooded shirt piled up in the balcony.He just took the shirt and went to his mom and asked her “why you are washing it?”.

She said it’s become dirty and has blood stains on it. He did not utter a word went to his room. I followed him, he closed the door, sat in a chair and Tears were flooding out of his eyes… I got shocked by his behavior, slowly asked him…”Hey dear what happened” then he started saying Story behind it “The Red blood shirt”

Writing this story feeling myself in Deepu's place. 

Three new Friends

         I was an introvert before ,latter I became Extrovert because of few persons who came in my life…I could find the definition of Friendship, Happiness, Love when I was with them, even I could find some other things which very few saw in their lives. This you will come to know after reading this story.

        Life in Bangalore started with training in the MNC I joined. Got a bunch of friends in the training batch we all were in the same Paying Guest. We used to enjoy day in and Day out while the time of Training.After completion of training every one left to Hyderabad except me. I was all alone in the PG .The whole PG was deserted. I was only person staying in a room and all the remaining floors were empty. At that time books became my friends. Started reading all kinds of novels.

            One weekend I felt bored of reading, I went to the terrace I saw 3guys playing Badminton. They were all enjoying the game. I was just observing their game as a spectator.

Every Saturday this has become a routine to me.
           

         One fine day I was staring at the game. They are seeing me every week staring at their game. They signed me and asked me to come down. When I went there one of the guy introduced himself I am Vinay, I said “ I am Mahesh” one by one every one introduced themselves to me. Kishore, Rajiv they said “we are all friends from our school days…”

            From that day we all became friends I used to play with them every weekend.

One of the Weekends Vinay did not turn up, I enquired Rajiv what happened to him ?“ he said Vinay met with  an accident “ and they all started laughing, I said “ hey guys are you mad?” they replied you know how the accident happened? While he is on the way to his house on his bike street dogs followed him. In a hurry he did not see a bump, bike slipped and he was injured. I said “Hey guys lets go and meet him”, They said we already met him. I asked them “lets meet him please.”

We all went to his place. His right hand and right leg got fractured.

          I Sat beside vinay and asked him “Are you alright?” he replied “yes mahi” and he tried to tell me “you know in Bangalore there equal number of street dogs & people”.”Only because of this Street dogs I am in this position now…EEE.I prompted and said “ya I came to know about it,Rajiv already told me”

Again everyone Started laughing….and kishore replied “Ya street dogs are more fond of Vinay they often follow him hehehe…:):):)".

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Vinay’s Servant Rangamma asked us “Can someone stay with Vinay,so that it would be helpful to him as their parents are in Dubai” No one responded, then Vinay said “Its ok I can take care of myself” then Rajiv asked me “Mahi why can’t you stay along with Vinay as your staying in a Paying Guest” I hesitated then everyone pleaded me “Mahi Please” then I agreed for it…Next day I shifted to Vinay’s place.Vinay is not in a position to eat and walk as his right hand and right leg got fractured.Rangamma used to feed him food daily and helped him in his daily activities. She used to stay in a room which is in the top floor. One month passed, doctor said it takes two more months for vinay to get recovered. One day Rangamma was unwell and she is not in a position to get out her bed. I called up doctor to treat her.Doctor said “It takes around 3 days for her to recover.” Thought process was happening in my mind I am gone…how can I handle this situation.     

             First thing I could do in that day is called up my manager and said I am unwell and could not come to office today…(sick leave),from my childhood I never helped my parents in household works, as I was grown like a pampered child.”Now what can I do?”,went to the hotel nearby had breakfast and took a parcel for both rangamma and vinay.I kept 3 idly’s and pickle in a plate and gave it to vinay.He struggled to eat with his left hand though it was slightly hurt than compared to his right hand.I could not see his pain.I took over the plate and feed him with my hand. He said “thanks yaar, you are my best friend and sorry for making you struggle”. I just replied “ Its ok yaar ,you are my friend and no more thank’s and sorry’s between us.”

I took care of Vinay helped in his daily activaties.We became the best buddies ever.
             

               Kishore and Rajiv used to come on every weekend to our house. Kishore takes life very seriously, he is serious in his studies and love towards his girl friend.Rajiv resembles a child by looks and nature, though he is 6ft tall.He used to behave like a kid.I have never seen a guy who is so good natured and he always had innocent smile on his face.I used to call him Chotu:).Everyone has our nick names, I started calling Rajiv Chotu,Vinay we used to call him “darling”, there is a big story behind it. In his child hood vinay’s father used to call vinay has “Vinnu darling”. As Rajiv and kishore know him from child hood they started calling darling and kishore is called “kewl” as his hair resembles bird.:):):)I am named as Mahi…:):):) good that I was not called with some weird name. Rajiv took a marker and wrote on Vinay’s Plaster “get well soon” and he signed,even we wrote all hunky funky stuff on his plaster.

           As kewl(Kishore) is with vinay me and Chotu(Rajiv) went to forum mall. We went to the top floor sat near the stair case and we are starring at the birds(gals) who are passing by. Rajiv had shown me a beautiful gal and prompted “what a chick!”,A bunch of gals and guys approached us ,I was surprised why they are coming towards us. Actually they are Rajiv’s class mates. They shouted “Hey chick magnet what are you doing here”. Rajiv introduced me to them. I said “Hey guys I am Mahi”, everyone introduced themselves, then I asked them “who is chick magnet?” they said who else “none other than our tall, fare handsome hunk Rajiv”, I said ok but what do you mean by this word?”hmmm Mahi Chick means(gal) ,chick magnet means the guy who attracts the gals like a magnet is Chick magnet.” I said “hooo chotu I though your still a kid…you are grown up buddy”, he said mahi “Its nothing like that dear”, they all are jealous of me…:), everyone shouted “hahaha we are jealous of you chick magnet, yes we are”. They all left, again a beautiful gal passed by us,Chotu said “Hey mahi lets follow her buddy, she is awesome and has awesome b***S”, We followed her wherever she went in the mall and suddenly she disappeared in the crowd. When we are near the exit door again we saw her, she turned towards Rajiv bid bye to him. Rajiv was not in his senses for some time.

        We sat in Chotu’s car, he asked me we will take a long ride to Airport and have coffee there, The way to new airport was awesome in the night, we went to the airport had coffee in the coffee day. He left me near my house and bid me bye,I replied “Thanks chotu for the day”, he said “More days are awaiting and asked me to call kishore”, I went inside the house called kishore,hey Chotu is waiting for you outside then he also bid bye to us and left.
        

          Days, Months Passed now it’s time for the final Doctor check up for vinay, Doctor removed the plaster of his hand and leg, After that he just came out to reception where Kewl,Chotu and myself was there ,he just came to me and hugged me tightly and said “Mahi I can never forget the help you have done to me”, I said “Its ok Darling we are friends.”The next Saturday we all went to wonder la ,we enjoyed to the fullest, the one thing I could always remember there is “Y scream(It is in the shape of Y where it will take the seats up it rotates and revolves the seat in which we are sitting )  and  “the vertical fall” scared me out of my wits. Chotu was sitting beside me in the “Y scream” and he motivated me out of fear by showing some beautiful chicks when ever that “Y Scream” stopped.

Unique Rajiv(Chotu):

Crutches Guy:

 Chotu became my best buddy, every weekend we used to hang out enjoy day in and day out. One day at 5 PM we were just sitting near the Stairs at Garuda mall. I saw a physically challenged guy struggling to cross the road with his crunches, hey chotu see that guy is struggling to cross the road lets help him?, he said “Just do not bother about it buddy, he will cross that somehow”, I responded you do not bother anything about society chotu ,just at least  show some sympathy towards him, I am going to help him. I just went to him and hold him and said, hey man I will help you in crossing the road, he said “No thanks”, I can do that on my own. I just came back without uttering a word.Chotu smiled at me and said that “I told you, he can manage”.

               We left that place and to my surprise the same physically challenged guy came near chotu, He said ‘hi’ to chotu and hugged him. Chotu called me and introduced  him “He is Rahul” and “Rahul he is Mahi”, Rahul said “hi Mahi,I just saw you .You are the one who tried to help me know?” I said “Yes”, he said “Thanks for your help” , I said You did not allow me to help man!, Then Rahul said “Yes Mahi, before when I used to struggle to cross the road, I have to wait for someone to help me. After I met Rajiv I stopped looking for help, he is the one who bought me Crutches and said ‘do not wait for anyone, you can do it buddy’, from that day I could help myself” ,”It’s not just sympathy which could help us and every day we cannot wait for someone to help us, we need someone like Rajiv who can show permanent solution.” Listening to this, I got goose bumps…I just hugged chotu and  said “Sorry chotu I Scolded you before”, He tapped me on my shoulder, ”cool mahi, do not become so emotional”. We left from that place.

The Call GAL:
It was on Friday we had a get together in our room Kewl(Kishore),Rajiv(chotu),vinay

(Darling) and myself…we had a small party ,we had small drink party followed by dance with high pitch music…suddenly Vinay told “we are having fun but one thing is missing yaar”, Rajiv asked “what is that?”, Vinay replied “item yaar”. Then kewl responded “I got a call gals number from one of my friends, we will call her yaar”.

Rajiv and Vinay nodded their head and said “ya will call her” .I got shocked and said,

Hey guys gone mad or what?, Rajiv said “Mahi cool down”, they finally called her and made an arrangement to bring her home.

      She came in, she was dam sexy gal in the end of her teenage around 18 or 19.

Rajiv told everyone I will have some chit chat with her, if anyone want to stay can stay or you wanna leave then go to other room. I stayed back in the room at least I felt I can stop Rajiv in doing something wrong. Vinay and kishore left the room and sat in the balcony. I called Rajiv to side and said ,I thought you are a very good guy, what is all this buddy?, he just said “I know what I am doing”. I have to shut my mouth, still I stayed in the room, there is some hope that I can convince him.

    Rajiv asked the gal to sit on the sofa, and he started “What is your name?”

She said “Rinki” …he replied “Nice name”, “You got a very good figure and you are damn sexy”. I just thought in mind “OMG he started”, I was about to interrupt. Then Rajiv asked “Mahi Limit”, I just stopped interrupting. Then he started enquiring about her.

       About Rinki in her Own words (Translation from Telugu to English):”I was grown in middle class family, I used to study well in my child hood. Both my parents always used to dream about my future. My father got huge loss in his business. To get rid of the pressure he used to drink a lot. Slowly the fights started between mom and dad. As dad was the only earning member in house. We sometimes did not have food to eat. One day the fight between mom and dad rose and he just hit her head on the wall and she died.

         Next day police came and took my dad to jail, I was 14 at that time. My neighbour aunty took me to her house and she used to send me school. She is a good lady but her husband used to misbehave with me, when she was not in house. One day Aunty went to a marriage, so uncle tried to rape me, I just somehow hit him with a rod and escaped from that place. I used to stay in bus stops; railway station started begging and feed myself. Only problem was at nights the police, some people around me started harassing me. One day a person raped me brutally near the railway station.

      I just cried, cried day in and day out nobody helped me. Anyways these people are not gonna allow me to live .so I made prostitution as a profession and reached Bangalore from Andhra Pradesh.”

Rajiv asked “Why you took this as a profession, you would have got many other things to do?” she replied “I tried, but I failed, Instead getting raped by someone, I thought why I can’t I choose my own customers”

When she was saying all these she did not cry, she was strong in her talking. I felt she saw every struggle in life and her tears would have got dried up.

Rajiv asked “How much you get every day?” she replied “If I get a customer. I charge 1000 bugs, Its not every day I get a customer”, Rajiv went inside the room took the ATM card, went out seriously and came with 6000Rs.”Take this money and stop doing your profession for a week and come to me on next Saturday, you can leave now.”She asked “where can I come sir”,”Rajiv gave his number to her and said call me up on Saturday I will tell you where to come.”

Rajiv collected money from his friends and other well wishers, that gal called up Rajiv on Saturday, he asked to come her to forum mall. He said “Mahi come along with me”, I was curious to know what he will do. We met that gal in forum.

Rajiv took us to some branded show rooms, he selected some good clothes to her and asked to try them. He bought her 3 pairs of good looking clothes. She was looking very pretty in that, She was like a king fisher Air Hostess. He took us in his car and stopped near Jaya Nagar, he took us to a complex which was a bit interior.

We just came near a shop whose shutter was closed. He opened the shutter to our surprise it was florist shop and all arranged very well. He handed the keys to her and said “use your beauty in other way”…he made her to set up florist shop.

Then from such a bold lady I could see tears flooding from her eyes. She just out of happiness hugged Rajiv kissed him and said “you are a real human, I ever met”. Even I went to him tapped on his shoulder and said “Proud to be your friend buddy”.

He said to her in a funny way “You have to return back my 50,000 in 6 months”, then she said “Sure will do that in 3 months”, we said her “All the best “ and left from that place.

Pizza boy:

          It was Sunday Rajiv(chotu),Vinay and Myself went to Pizza hut to have a pizza.

We ordered the Pizza and have some chit chat…then the customer sitting next to us started shouting at pizza boy that his delivery was late. That pizza boy maintained the same smile on his face and addressed him, “Sir give me just a minute will get you the pizza.”He just went inside and came with the pizza.the customer said “thanks”, he replied “you are welcome sir” with the same smile on his face. Then I told to chotu & darling “these guys na they fail in their +1,+2 and they end up doing this job, obviously they have to bare the scolding’s from the customers.”, Vinay tapped on my shoulder and said “be silent that guy is listening”, I replied “It’s the fact let him listen”.After 5 minutes the same boy brought pizza to our table. He gave the pizza and went away. After ½ hour he came with a bill. I gave the money and we were waiting for the change. He came with the change I left 5 Rs as a tip to him.

He gave back the tip and said “Thanks for the tip our store is paying me.”

The very next day me and Rajiv standing near the bus stop.

The same Pizza boy came there; he is carrying a college bag. He came near Rajiv and said “Hi Rajiv anna, How are you?”,Rajiv replied “ hi raj I am gud, what about you?”,I interfered and asked Rajiv “Do you know this pizza boy before”, he said “yes”. Then the Pizza boy introduced himself to me and said “When I was struggling to pay my collage fees, Rajiv anna helped me” and rajiv advised me “every time I cannot do this, why can’t you do part time instead making your parents struggle?”

I said “yes, I am planning to”, he took me to pizza hut and I was selected there as a part time employee”.”I am doing my BBA ,I am studying in the class room and I feel my job as practical experience for what I am studying”, I could learn “ethics, value of customer  and many more business techniques in real time,a small smile solves many of my problems there ,instead I get tensed up/get angry and mess up with customer”, sorry to say you this “Please do not discourage guys like me, I am strong enough did not bother about what you said, but there are some soft sensitive hearted guys working there who might feel bad”. I said “ I am really sorry man” he said “Its ok no problem”.

I asked him “why you did not say ‘hi’ to Rajiv in pizza hut though you know him before”.

He said “There he is customer than a friend”, “Customers are the asset for us”

“here he is friend, that is why I said ‘hi’ to him”JP.

I think even this behaviour is also thought by Rajiv “ he smiled and said yes”.

My company bus has come I bid bye to both Raj & Rajiv and got into the bus.

The Harassed boy:

Vinay(Darling) went to Dubai on a vacation. I invited Rajiv(chotu) to my room as it was really boring Saturday.I prepared coffee for him and we sat in the sofa and started to talk .In middle of our talks I said to Rajiv that you are a rich guy ,so you can help whom ever you can .I am not that rich to help others,then he smiled and said “Its  not about rich,its about the interest you have”.Even I want to join you, tell me how can I help?

“We matured guys, understand the world better” “what about the teenagers who feel themselves “not good looking”, “fat” ,”scoring less grades”and many other problems which seems very simple but they are making a big psychological impact on them. Help those people…I said how?

He replied “Social Networking”

Again I asked how?

He said “I created community to help such guys, you can use it,

Before that you have to undergo training in children and adolescent psychology for a month.
”I said yes”.

After one month of training, I started with my first case in that account.

I asked Rajiv to help me out for the first time.He started to chat with that guy.

Chat conversation:R:Rajiv and C:Chetan(other guy)

R: Hi

C: Hi

R:What is your name?what you do?What is your problem?

C:Bro myself I am Chetan studying my +1 I am 16 years old.

Both my parents go for work, and when I am in the age of 10 one of my neighbour

Harassed me sexually, I could not say this to anyone. Whenever I remember about that I get mentally disturbed but coming to studies I always top in the class. Now I am 16 I know what is sex ,I started watching all the ‘****’ videos in the web, started chatting with strangers for s** ,may be because I was harassed by my neighbour I am confused what I am, I started developing feelings for guys. I met a stranger on net shared all my pics and videos with him. That guy is blackmailing me about it every day that I will post them online. I do not know what to do. 

R:Ok cool down my bro, be happy I will take care of it. I will give you a police officer number, contact him and tomorrow morning come near JP Nagar police station, call me before you start from your house…”my number 9**********, Police number:9**********.

Next day morning that guy called Rajiv, we both went to police station. We met the police officer whom Rajiv knows. That guy came to the station; he disclosed everything with the police officer.The police officer asked to call the guy who is black mailing  and ask him to come near the king fisher towers. Police made a master plan and caught hold of that guy.

                The police man called up “Chetan’s father and mother” and asked them to come over to police station. When they came, the police officer took all of us to the psychological centre. First the psychologist started counselling chetan, then he called his parents, Rajiv, Police officer and asked chetan to sit outside and started counceling chetan’s father & mother. 

They both asked the police officer “Tell me for what reason we are called for?”.

He said nothing to worry wait for some time the Counselor will tell you everything .Please respond to whatever he is asking.

Counselor enquired the parents.

Chetan's mother started to tell about their family “I work as a HR head and my husband he is a manager in Corporate company”, we gave whatever we can to our kid. “branded clothes”, joined him in a good school. More over we are proud of my kid as he always tops in the school.”

Consellor said “good, you are great parents to your child.I am not that blessed I studied in normal school”

I need a favour from you both “both nodded yes”, I want to speak to Rekha(Chetan’s mother) first and asked Deepak(Chetan’s father) "Please be silent for some time do not interfere in any of our conversations” .He said “Ok”

Counceler and Rekha’s conversation.

C:Counceler ,R:Rekha(Chetan’s mom)

C:Good that you gave everything to the child. Who take care’s of your child,when he comes back to home  from school?

R:We have a servant to prepare food and take care of him, more over Chetan can manage himself.

C:From Past how many year that servant is taking care of Chetan?

R:Its from past 13 years. i.e from chetan’s 3 years of age.

C:Ok.

C:Do chetan have any grandparents?

R:Yes he has, they could not fit themselves in our house due to some small internal clashes, they made up their mind to live in old age home. We pay monthly 5000 bugs in the old age home.

C:When you are a kid did your grandparents used to stay at your house?

R:Yes they used to.The conditions were different at that time.

C: "great.” Do you feel chetan shares everything with you?

R: Yes he does,if not me he share everything with his dad.

C:Overall how is  he in his day to day activities?

R:He is a sharp child,he tops in the school. Less interest for sports.

   At the age of 12 only he knows in and out of internet. He plays online games that is his only pass time. He always tops in school, so we never said no to his playing of online games.He got a separate room with books, laptop. Most of the time he sticks to his room.

C: That means, you understand your kid well. Does anyone of you both are heart patients?

R:No we both are healthy.

C:Do you speak about sex education and other stuffs at home?

R: We did not give that much lenience to our kid. He is the only kid we have ,We do not want him to get spoiled.

C: Do you know your kid got sexually harassed when he was at age 10?

R: What? Even Chetan’s father Deepak was shocked to hear.

C: Nothing to worry he is completely alright.

Slowly the councillor told what happened to Chetan.

Finally he gave some good advice to parents in his own words.

“1.Bring Chetan’s grandparents to the house. As you are well educated try to adjust for small clashes that will happen in every house.

2. Grand parents are the one who teach moral values to kids through their stories.

3. Remove internet connection from his room and keep the wire connection in the hall. Whenever he needs net he will browse in the hall.

4. Discuss with your kids what is good touch and bad touch.

5. Try not to stretch in office, though it might fetch you good ratings and ultimately good salary that cannot get back your kids future.

6. Atleast one of you try to come home early and spend time with your kid.

7. Involve him in sports and some outside physical activities.

8. Arrange some small get together parties along with his friends.

9.As a father,Deepak you have to make him understand everything.

All the best to your kids future and your career as well.”

Both came out and got to know the details from the Police officer how Rajiv helped their kid.

Chetan’s mom came near Rajiv, held Rajiv’s hand and said “You are great buddy, you saved our child and made us realise” and she started crying.

Deepak said Thanks to Rajiv and they invited him for a dinner.

Seeing all this I was in shock, Is this all happening in this modern world!!!

I just hugged Rajiv and said that you are more than a god!!!

from now I am your follower. He just smiled and said “Mahi don’t get emotional”.

The Child Labour:
Days passed on, one fine weekend I was staying in Rajiv’s house, the bell rang. I opened the door I was shocked to see a police constable (cop).
Police man in rough tone “Is Rajiv there?”
I stammered and said “yes”
He asked me to call him. I called Rajiv
Police man asked Rajiv to come over to the shop nearby. Even I accompanied them.
The house owner of the shop looked a bit scared. The head Police asked Rajiv “Are you the one who joined these children below 14 for milk and News paper distribution” .He said “yes”.
Actually police got a complaint from local news channel that this shop is hiring child labour for milk distribution so they are covering this stuff in their NEWS.
(Translation from local language to English)
The Anchor of the News channel asked the Children working there “Is Rajiv made you join here?”
They said “yes”, the anchor said “you kids do not understand that your future is at loss because of Rajiv”
One of the guys held the mike and said in angry tone “what the hell are you talking?”
The anchor said “cut the scene” director told continue we can edit this. Then the boy started speaking.
“Before I was working in a hotel and used to wash the utensils. The owner used to beat me up day in and day out. Rajiv saw this and he reported this to police station and made me join a school which has mid day meals. He used to visit our school once in a month. One day I told him that I have to quit the school as I have to earn something, so that they can have some food at home. Then Rajiv told me that he has some idea and made me join in this milk/Paper distribution shop, so that I can earn by doing the work in the morning and even I can go to school at 9 AM.”
The Anchor could not speak anything, she came near Rajiv and said “you are great man; I got goose bumps after listening to the boy”. Rajiv replied “Thanks and he smiled”. Anchor said “You are handsome man, I love your smile”. The police man came to him and said “You are practical hero, keep up the good work. If you need any help I am there for you”.
I just came to him and said “No words to express dear, you are a master piece; you need to be placed in the museum…:)P”, he started laughing.

Immortal Rajiv(Chotu):

         One day we all friends planned to go to Nadhi hills near Bangalore around 3AM in the morning on our bikes. Me, Vinay(1 bike),Kewl&his friend(2^nd bike) and Rajiv in his bike. We started around 3 Am from our place. In between we halted for tea and everyone Started making fun of Rajiv. I just supported Rajiv, and asked him why you are Quite man?, pass a counter on them. He smiled and replied “They are enjoying by making fun of me, Its ok even I enjoy making them happy”. I have never seen a guy like this. We reached around 4:30 AM to Nandhi hills it was a bit dark and we took some snaps near the hills and Danger sign board. I hided the D in ‘Danger’ and took the pic with ‘Angry’ expression .Rajiv behaved naughty by giving weird expressions to the pics by taking his tongue out. Wow I could see the other side of him.

It was around 5:45 the sun slowly peeped out from the clouds and I don’t have any words to express the scenic beauty. We spent some time there and we started returning at 7 AM. We passed half the way.

              From back the DCM truck came with high speed and hit Rajiv’s bike. Though he was wearing helmet, his helmet strap got loosened and it came out of his head .He was thrown the other side of road. We all stopped our bikes and went to him.Vinay called up ambulance service. I just held his hands and found his heart was beating. His body was full of blood. I took the first aid kit which was in Vinay’s bike and removed his clothes tied the band where ever he had injuries with the help of other friends. I felt he was not able to breathe properly.People started to gather around us.I asked every one "Can you Please move aside",Vinay and kishore started shouting at people "Move aside,the guy needs air to breathe".Finally the crowd moved away and they were starring at the spot from some distance.I supplied air through my mouth to him by a technique,I have learned in a first-aid training workshop at my collage.

My shirt is full of Rajiv’s blood. Ambulance arrived.Vinay,kishore and myself slowly lifted chotu and  moved him inside the ambulance with a stretcher and we took him to hospital.

       We called up Rajiv’s parents who were in Dubai. Rajiv was admitted in Emergency ward. Doctor came out and said there are 50% chances as he got a head injury.

The people who got help from Rajiv got to know the News and they arrived hospital.

Doctors performed an operation and were success. Everyone was very happy.

The very next day we got chance to meet Rajiv. The call gal, Pizza boy, Chetan, HR rep(Chetan’s mother).myself went inside.

       Rajiv started speaking. The Call gal bought a Rakhi, bouquet and 50,000 bugs with her and tied to Rajiv and said”See I am so much happy now, this is your 50,000 bugs I could make profits within three months, I am planning to start one more branch and hire people who faced problem like me.” Rajiv replied “great I am happy for you,use that 50,000 bugs to start one more branch”.

Pizza boy said “Bro I topped my collage, it’s all because of you” Rajiv said “wow, its all your effort buddy”.

HR rep Rekha(chetan’s mom) said “See Chetan he is more happy now, he is good in sports. now he got two more companions they are his grandparents.”

Chetan Said “Bro I am an extrovert now, got a good network of friends”

Rekha:”If you would not have helped Chetan, I don’t know where my son’s future had ended. I could not even imagine that”

Rajiv smiled “You are happy mother now”

She Replied “Yes I am happy now” :):):)

We all sat and talked many things suddenly Rajiv started vomiting. I called doctor.

He came and started treating him. he said to doctor I want to speak to Mahi.
Doctor asked me to come, Rajiv held my hand and said you are my best friend ever, please continue to do good deeds in my absence. I closed his mouth and said “You will live 100 years buddy”. I slept on his chest and said that I like you so much buddy, you thought me how to lead the life. I just starred at his eyes. Suddenly I could see Rajiv's eyes were stuck starring at me. Doctor held his hand and said “he is no more”
normally he is silent always and slowly he will smile back.

I am expecting he will smile back to me that he is alive.

I held him tightly and starred at his eyes "hey chotu smile,I am here,every time I get a counter punch from you,why not this time?I know you are acting,come on" .I like you my chotu come back for me,you cannot make me loner again.I Slept near his chest and there is hope that I could hear his heart beat, Its Resting in peace(RIP).

you don't even bother someone making fun of you , you say "I make them happy"

"Chotu make me happy yaar","I have to cry out of happiness ,come backkkkkkkkkk"

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee godddddddd give him back to meeee. God I know you need happiness that is why you have taken him with you and tears flooded from my eyes.

The Call gal held him in his hand and said "Rajiv open your eyes,come back...."

She shouted in a loud pitch "God are you there?Are you hearing me?See I never asked you anything even when I was brutally raped,when Rajiv came in my life, I felt he is your gift.Please give him back to me and the gals who are suffering like me" .she started crying and Rajiv's shirt became wet with her tears.

         The Pizza boy Slapped Rajiv and asked "Wake up bro,from my child hood I have never seen a great person like you" his tears were slowly falling from his eyes to Rajiv's forehead.

"he just held his head and said that you are my god given brother!!! I love you bro.God please give my brother back to me."

Chetan hugged his mother and started crying "Mamma he is no more,how can some one like me say their problems out,I want him mamma please ask him to come back".Rekha brought chetan close to Rajiv,you are the one who has given him life,Is this fare are you limiting yourself to my own child?There are many more chetan's and their parents want a person like you"

"God send him back,we all need him".


Kishore,Vinay who went for Medicines came back,they saw Rajiv in his death bed and they just came near him and said "how can you leave us all alone chaddi dost(Child hood friend)?" and they started crying....Kishore came to him and said "Hey chotu get up your parents are coming in a hour" and he collapsed.We brought some water and sprinkled on his head he Opened his eyes and he started shouting "Chotu come back ,we are gonna miss you..."

Rajiv is immortal in hearts of many people.


In his funeral I could see many people coming there, who has got help from him in one or the other way.

While I got transferred from Bangalore to Hyderabad I met everyone who got help from Rajiv. I could see him alive in their eyes.

The end

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The present: I got tears in my eyes when Deepu was saying about Rajiv holding the "Red blood shirt" in his hands.
The only thing I could do is "I have to write about Rajiv" feeling myself in the presence of Deepu.
The day I heard this I started penning.Deepu is continuing what Rajiv did.
India Require people like Rajiv.My salute to him.
