Farewell to a Friend R I P

We used to be the best of friends - you and I and everyone else used to marvel at us - admire our friendship - be impressed with it - people used to give examples of our friendship - call it a brotherhood fashioned in heaven and lived out on Earth

Do you remember the trying times we went through? Do you remember the pains and frustrations we faced?

I still remember everything - how can I forget? You were the one who had faith on me long before anybody knew what I was worth! You were the one who stood up for me when the entire world ganged up against me. You were the one who had faith in me - nay 'Blind Faith' in me when all the world only considered me a lost, defeated soul.. It was you who kept me company when I was betrayed for th first time - It was you who understood the pain of my losing in love again and again

I remember the way you stood up for me and fought those who made fun of me. You used to go to pains to explain everyone that I was different. You were younger to me but you displayed a sort of support that only an elder brother could have given me - I remember how I once shouted at you but you still maintained your calm and at the end, as usual, you were the one who was right!

Do you remember that day when Rudolph, Sydney and Melvyn and the team (I think they were about 30 guys there, waiting for me in the compound) challenged me for a fight - do you remember me walking down alone to face all 30 of them - I would have been massacred that day, had you not saved me from my own temper that day - on that day, when all were standing with cycle chains, hockey sticks and rods, you were the one who silently bore my punches but despite my severe anguish took me away from there - You were the reason I survived, otherwise my warrior blood would have either killed or got killed that day

But today, even you do not understand me!

You ask me when have I stood for you?

Who got stabbed while fighting for you; do you remember that face? Who was thrashed by your girlfriend's parents when you took her away for a day out? Do you remember the guy who put up his hand and took the blame of pinching that gorgeous girl's bottom (which you had done, by the way) and in the process became a lout in the eyes of all who appreciated him?

I will never say this on your face because I do not believe in speaking about what I have done it; I consider it disgusting and below my dignity but it really pained me to hear all this and why did I have to hear all this - just because I told you that I will never force someone to take those steps that you want us to take!

I never said anything when you christened me Mr. Whispers, did I? When you said that girls use me like a sanitary napkin every month and then move on, I did not say a word, did I? When have I questioned your practicality or any  other point?

When have I ever said anything against you? Did I not stand up and fight for you even when you were wrong?

Qayamat Se Kam Yaar Ye Ghum Nahin
Tu Aur Main Rahe Gaye Hum Nahin



Mera Dost Mujhse Juda Ho Gaya
Suna Hai Ki Tu Be-Wafaa Ho Gayaa

Wish you all happiness - I am your friend, your brother and I will always wait for you - I am always there if you need me and yes, you have rights over me but not over the one you want me to force to listen to your words

I am sorry but that's true
