Stupid is as Stupid Does!
--Forrest Gump.
Four years back, when I first watched this movie, I had no idea how time will unfold itself before me. I had my dreams with me then, I have them with me now. Though I have no idea which one of them is going to come true, and in which order. I was walking then, I am walking towards them, as I write this. I believed in myself then, I believe in myself today. I believed I can write my destiny, I still can, though I don't want to write it myself anymore. This movie brought all the moments I have passed through and all the situations I have been through, sad, glad, depressing, rising, all the friends (gladly I don't see any enemies, from the position I stand) I met during all this time. The fine best moments, I had with my juniors, stupid I was, definitely was. Every moment I spent with them is a gift to my later life. My bloody finger stunt, who could ever forget that. Then some friends whom I can always look back and smile, just by recalling them and the conversations we had. Some friends who dared to call me a stupid, as I was, in front of everybody, anybody, anywhere, and believe me that made me feel glad. A few I told everything about myself (I mean all I knew about myself at that time) and know about them (of course all they knew about themselves at that time). Of course, all the time I spent in IIT, my best favorite friend were Chocolates. I never left them and they never left me. They always helped me in getting my things done, took me out of my depression several times and gave me the time of a lifetime. Dibesh, I always hated you for being so perfect ut in course of time I have seen your imperfections and I love you for them. Then the leaving part, I still do not know how I felt, but I remember Ashwani , his tears, when I was leaving. He didn't felt ashamed of crying, being a guy and he cried. One can call me anything, but I felt good when he cried, made me feel kind of important.
Then came a easy part, deciding about career. Punjab was definitely fun. I can literally see every moment I came across with Rahul , reading Ayn Rand, going to dhaba next to Lucky dhaba. I didnt knew its name then, how can I recall it now. Rahul abusing me from his room, unknown of the fact, that my parents are with me, in my room. The trip to Dharamshala, the most unique trip I ever had. Smuggling you inside LPU, Rajasvi from those water clogged fields in post mid night was definitely worth it. Sumo, Chocolate Cigars, something, Sumo stuck in the small river we tried to cross, I think that can sum it up.
Germany was definitely a journey worth taking. Nobody in the history of MPI's had got drunk the night before the interviews. But everything happens for a first time and it did too. There are incidents, I would define them as accidents, when every one of us becomes mature, I would say one starts to loose their innocence. So it happened. I matured. Swati, Roli, Ankita, Parkash, you are the craziest and loveliest people around. Crying was never that much fun, Sonal.
The Five Bastards started with only one bastard, eventually increasing to five. The two Italians, one German and an Iranian and sometimes a pretty Ukranian, the restaurants we visited, flammkuchen, oberursel, whenever I think of it, I am able to smell it, right under my nose. The stupidest talks we had, I can never imagine them without you, Bastards! Thorsten, I miss the conversations with you. Badminton was some sport I tried in Frankfurt, Thanks Badminton, but you are not fun without my usual Badminton buddies.
Fucking awesome Frankfurt! I have adored you, the way I love Jaipur, the city I was born. I miss your streets, I miss shopping (oh yeah, I am a shopaholic guy, I love watches, sport gears, novels and anything which has an element of NEW feeling in it, or everything which reminds me of my sweet memories) with Roli, it was fun, how we used to persuade each other to shop under the pretext that we are stopping each other.
I could literally see all this streaming before my eyes, while watching this movie again today.
And if people say, If I do not get over my past, I am stupid, then I would reply,
Stupid is as stupid does..:P
Tak.
Life is definitely a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
--Forrest Gump
I realise, I am definitely a man of celebration, as I was quoted this by a old friend of IIT, whom I met accidentally at NCBS, Bangalore.
