The People is all about 'the interesting and altogether different people' I came across during various stages of my life. All these people have created the special places in my life due to their featured personality traits. I really owe a lot to these people, especially those, without their presence I could not have reached the position where I am today.
I should start the story with the Sumeet and Somesh. We shared the class for 12 years and academic streams till graduation. Whenever I see new movie my eyes, my mind always try and analyze the performance of actors, just to search better actor than our Sumeet and believe me my search is not yet over. The split personality is the most important trait of Sumeet. I really have to recall thousands of meetings when he behaved in the way he actually is. I don’t know the validity of the previous sentences as in spite of the best friend, I am still confused whether I really know Sumeet, but I am really confident about the few qualities of him. He is academic genius and achieved whatever he has decided for himself with flying colours. The other quality is he is the killer, in the sense that he can make any girl around him crazy for himself with his acting and psychological expertise. For me Sumeet was always an inspiration as he was much more superior than me in academic and social aspects.

Exactly opposite to the Sumeet, Somesh is quite simple and straight forward. He is the Best in the interpersonal skills. He is sheer genius when it comes to convince the traffic police who caught us riding triple sit or on the way to home in midnight after having vodka shots. He also saved lot of our friends when Bhailog in the city might have beaten them due to their over aggression. I and Sumeet always approach him with our problems accompanied with the confidence that somesh will give us the solution and he never let our confidence down. We three having totally different mindsets, are very close to each other, which make me think that the magnet might have taken inspiration from us to attract the opposite pole.

Moving ahead, I have to write about my childhood nighbour. Her name is Shweta. She was also in my class for 12 years and we were in same group when we were in the school. I really blame my flirty nature when I see bitterness about me in her mind. Good friendship of the childhood became a torture for us when we grow up as a teenager. Bitterness increased to such an extent that I have avoided several group parties. All this apart, I really admire her simplicity and Sincerity. Now she is a professional and putting her best to serve the organization in which she is working.


When it comes to my professional studies I never forget initial 8 months of my professional studies when I was accompanied with the angel in my life. Angel in the sense, I feel Rucha is the one who had the magic stick which had relieved my parents from all their worries about the career of their culprit son. It was really impossible that a person like me who was worrying about the passing in the higher secondary, have completed the professional course without her company in initial stages. Rucha is from the different stream and obliviously found the core subjects tough. We used to solve the home assignments together in the library. Those are the days when I came know that the there can be study for the day when it’s not the previous day to the exam. She almost used to force me to solve the home assignments on time. I found one of the subjects (maths) tough. She guided me in such nice manner that I cleared maths with the flying colours. Apart from her sincerity, I always used to admire and sometime getting angry about her senti nature. I can recall her eyes full of tears when she missed her lectures or could not complete her homework by any unavoidable reasons. In those days I really came to know about the importance of the regularity and commitment in the life, which is very important for a good life. Unfortunately she didn’t accompanied me in the subsequent stages of the course but I always used to miss her when thought of not completing homework or bunking the lecture used to pop up in my mind. I almost bunked 1/10th of the lectures which I otherwise would have bunked in all. I also missed her company when I passed through the painful moments of sitting more than 12 hours a day with books to finish studies in final stages, just because 16 hours a day was very much comfortable for her in such situations.

Last but not the least I have to write about the Priyanka, We met very recently but I can’t recall the person who got as close as Priyanka in a short time. We freak around a lot in Mumbai after our office hours. Neither I nor she has any sort of feelings for each other, for me she is a good friend. I came to know that she broken up recently with her boyfriend, but they are still together. According to her they are only good friends. Any time I speak with her about this ‘question comes to mind is ‘do they share same sort of relationship which was between them earlier’? When it comes to ‘them’, I can’t comment, but when it comes to her I can say she is the ‘boyfriend-vrata’. She is still involved with her boyfriend emotionally. I read a theory in psychology, which explains the relationships for different sexes of the human being. It says Women concentrate on other aspects of relationship for love, whereas men love for more or less, physical aspects of the relationship. Being theory in the social science it is not the perfect as the theories in the natural science but for Priyanka, somehow it’s applicable perfectly without any Exceptions. I always think how can one be so much sensitive about the somebody? The sentiments which make one forget himself/herself and his/ her passions. The thought process which is the god’s gift to human being can be so dangerous sometime? My thinking comes to an end without any conclusion, still sometimes; these thoughts strike to my mind. Controlling the emotions is tough job for some people.

Lot many people came to my life and have occupied special places in my life. However, when I am alone and thinking, those are the people who strike to my mind first. In some cases I really don’t know what sort of feeling these people have for me, but for me these are amongst the most precious people in my Life.
