Today Ashok and Priya left....
Ashok, the rebel, the outcast, My French Brother... Idiot didnt even tell us he was leaving...I got a call straight from the cab that he was leaving.. What did he think that he can disappear like Rancho of 3 idiots.... I tried my best to stop.. took his ticket.. Told the cab to drive off while i held onto him but he slid his hand off and went off... I never noticed that as the cab moved towards the gate tears started rolling down...The cab stopped at the gate and Eshan, Mayank and me rushed towards the gate in another attempt to stop him... Seeing the tears he did slow down a bit but i wasnt able to stop him and the cab drove off.. I tried calling him again and convincing him but he still refused... Mayank and Eshan went to the station also but he still didnt stop... Woh chala gaya...
Ashok, even though we fought a lot, here and in France...Yet I love u.... Bhai you have taught me so much, u introduced me to so many new things, the world of politics, LTTE, RSS, BJP and what not... Our ideals never matched but it was an honour to learn so much from you... You are my inspiration to know more...
When we left France i was sad but i knew you were there... Today as you left i realised that we may never meet on this soil again....
Priya Sharma, The one man/woman army..... My pyari behna actually bhai.... Sweetheart tera basketball dekh dekh ke toh achche ladko ki jal jaati thi... You are the best... Agar u wanna live life and wanna live life to the fullest meet Priya Sharma... Forever stay the bindaas don that you are...
I tried a lot to stop her today... Called her sister, called her dad, requested them to let her stay.. they agreed but she stuck to her stand.... Threatened to get her locked in her room and not let her go... Took a permanent marker and scribbled on her door that we wont let u go today.... But woh bhi chali gayi....
My last attempt is still on.... She still has to reach the train... People are already placed at strategic locations in the city to help her miss her train... Maybe the final emotional punch may work... Only time will tell
With her leaving the brand of Indian Magik here at IMT finally broke.. One of the concept heads and one of the partners of Indian Magik, the team which over time became our recognition at IMT... From the runners up position at Milestone 34, to the making and screening of Kartavya at MICA, Ahmedabad, to winning AdAge with Cling Safety Pins at Milestone 35, IMT-N and then all the way to winning Passion 09 at IMT Ghaziabad with We Can... (the movie) and Ek Awaaz (the Nukkad natak) . I will miss my Assistant Director.
The first day of bidding goodbye is drawing to a close...
Priya and Ashok.... IMT will forever miss you... Your place will always be special in my heart and in IMT's heart...

aww! ashok left...you will see him again next saturday at graduation, right?
ReplyDeleteyes, i remember those feelings of not wanting to leave your friends! i hope even if you do not see ashok for awhile that you both continue to stay in touch. in a couple more weeks it will be easter and 1 year from your great international easter dinner. i honestly cannot believe it has been 1 year already! like they say, "time waits for no one," and even despite it all, i am glad that you and i and the other imt peeps keep in touch :)
how did you start writing blogs? did you first start writing personal journals or diaries or did you just say that one day you would start writing blogs? it is quite special how you open yourself up to writing your feelings (love, sadness, pride, tears) and i would think it tough to be so open with the world! i saw that a imt-n's mother wrote to you because she ran across your blog. that is impressive that you are already reaching people beyond your friends ;) you have incredible drive and will go far.
hey kamilah
ReplyDeletethanx for the comment..ya its gonna be 1 yr since our grand easter party... miss those days a lot
blogging is another gift that france gave me... it all started when i noticed that when i shared my thoughts with people it was mostly on the same lines...
so i put down all those thoughts together,,, thats y u see in the first month i have 21 posts... thats because a lot of thoughts over years had got accumulated
after that its slowed down since i write as and when i get something to talk abt
