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.
