Through the eyes of Sunil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obJvM7ocaRM 25th Aug 09, it was my 24th birthday. Like every year, all my friends wished through calls, msg’s or e-mails. There was one person missing with whom though I had little contacts after the college, he never forgot to wish me. However, it didn’t bother me much as in this busy life even I had forgotten my friend’s birthdays. But when I came to know about the reality from my other friend Kitta, I was shocked!! He was in a horrible state since 1 week then, and I came to know about it on my birthday. Yeah, I wouldn’t have been able do anything if I had come to know about the fact… From the initial conversation, I came to know that he was suffering from some sort of fever and doctors were not able to figure out the actual problem. It had been one week since he was admitted to one of the famous hospitals in banglore. His condition was so bad that he was living with the help of four artificial machineries as support to his living organs like lungs, k

But one way or the other I couldn’t keep it. One left the world; other three are busy with their own life or I didn’t keep in touch with… I got the same love from all of them, for which I am truly grateful. After I joined Robosoft, I met Shree akka. Another gift of god… Some people make friends where ever they go. It is quite interesting but along with friends I made lot of sisters throughout :) You see, I am kind of emotional person. If someone shows even a little bit of care or love towards me, I get attracted and soon become close to them. May be that’s the reason. (It doesn’t mean every single gal I come across in my life, I make them my sister :P ;) it depends…) And about shree akka, well she is such a sweet heart, who is so caring that I am truly blessed to have her in my life. I am not sure if I had a real si

Click here to read first part... Some people said she died of astama and some said due to adverse effect of the injection that was given to her the other day. I was badly hurt but then as time flew by, everything was forgotten. Everyone became busy in their own world. On my Upanayana – her absence stuck me again, when I saw her family who attended the occasion. Her daughter gave me sweets (which is some sort of ritual in Upanayana where your sister/cousin feed sweets and in return you have to give them some gift). It might sound strange but at some point that day, I felt her presence around me which is certainly not more than my illusion. Human mind is quiet amazing. We forget our miseries and move on. Yeah, in some cases people take time but they do move on. Like my brother-in-law, who married again two years later… And since then I never visited their house. I wasn’t close to my other cousins until that time. I spent the next summer holidays in my uncle’s place in Kemtoor, who i

“…A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life” How true he is the one who quoted this... I always wanted to have a sister since my childhood – that doesn’t mean I do not have a sibling. I have got a younger brother and he is good to me, but sisters are something special. You see if someone asks you which is sweeter among sugar and honey. It is difficult to answer isn’t it… It’s the same with brothers and sisters. They have their own sweetness. My dad had a sister - Udayakka. She was the youngest of all in our house until I was born. I took her position and eventually, I had got loads of love from all my family members. She wasn’t jealous about that at all as my mom recalls; she used to take care of me a lot. I don’t remember most of the things of my early childhood, but yeah I loved her company. She was so sweet and caring. When I had first joined school i.e. for kinder garden (we call it balavadi) for the first one month, Udaya
