Nishanth was one of the first guy whom i acquainted with , at the start of my college life. I was always with my friend Kiron on the first 2 or 3 days of the college... Since i opted for electronics n he opted for IT, he desperately needed some guy from IT class so that he wont feel lonely when actual class starts..And Nishanth came into my life. We all were in one common college bus and we started bonding together as he is one down to earth guy with a "DUDE!! CHILL!!" attitude..He soon won the hearts of many by his lovely character and with his peculiar low tone voice..Anyways he merged into the group eventhough he was from alappuzha..
Days past and we got seperated and blended into our own classes..He was never a great friend of mine..But he was always a bit more than a mere friend..We met every now and then..We both shared some interests like speeding our bike and maintaining a goatee beard ...we met usually on the bike stand....We used to meet each other whenever we bunk an exam or get out of the exam hall within 30 mins or so...although our rendezvous were short it was fun!!One fine night when i was at SRK's home, phone rang and our friend suraj said nishanth met with a horrific accident and is at medical college...We went there only to find out that he was gone!! We all waited for his parents to arrive from his hometown,and me Kiran[gandhi] and Anand was waiting in front of the casualty ward..At about 3 30 am a scorpio came n stopped in front of us and 2 people jumped out of the car..We all knew it was his dad and his uncle...everyone went after them and we three stood there itself on the side of the car.Then one modest looking lady came out of the car and asked us with a calm face .."HOW IS HE??"...We all knew that she did'nt knew the situation and she was said that her son just met with an accident and is admitted in the hospital..She looked into my face searching for an answer and all i can do was not to look at her face..Anand seemed trying to talk something but words weren't coming out of his head..Gandhi somehow said 'he is fine' ... by then she understood the seriousness of the situation and went to her relatives searching for more answers!!
And we three stood there in trauma thinking of what we could have told or did..which wont make any change!! but.............
that question........... HOW IS HE???
"May be he is sad that he got separated from his caring parents,loving friends n his classmates..
May be he is happy that he is free from this evil world and earthly bonds ...Only certain thing is that our college and us friends wont be the same without you"
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
