Its not everyday you wake up in the morning and think and count about who matters to you the most. It’s not everyday that you try and find the ones who have contributed in your life in one way or other. I have many people who shaped my life to what it is today. May be I will try and summarize the efforts of the few here (possibly this is one way to say thanks to them):
Ma and Baba goes first on the list for everything under the sun
Wifey dear has to be second, as she stood by me during the most difficult phase of my life
Chichu and Rishi: My niece and nephew. Just darlings. They are the sweetest in the world.
Kaustav: Undoubtedly a great friend and some one who have managed to instill back the confidence I lost some where. A great pal to have. He did something, which will always remain special, i.e. he believed in me when the rest did not. He, Varsha (a doting lady she is the best half between them), Adi (good to see a wonderful kid who is been bought up so nicely), Uncle (his father; still the angry young man, and some one who can teach a lesson or two to any one in corporate India), Auntie (the lady with iron grips and some one who is always there for people), Rinki (his sis, humble and well learned; though have not interacted much as she lives abroad, but small anecdotes suggests that she is a super woman) and off course Jini (Ok she managed to cure my phobia: the great Bengali golden retriever, who loves to have aalo posto and bhaat) are family. Anytime there for you pal.
PG Days mates: Shout and they are there for help, Rahul, Suman, Krishanu, Bijay, Utpal, Bidhan, Soumya, Shreyam, The great mamu of all subho, papai, deep just great people. When we all stayed together never ever we thought that we are inseparable and the saga continues......Thank you people.
My Students: Oh they are the best in the world. They just made me what I am today. I am so indebted to them, so indebted. All are great. Guys like Nitesh (Morgan Stanley), Srikant (Citibank), Soumik (Reliance Retail) etc are doing so well for themselves but still they remain grounded to their roots and gives Kaustav and me the respect, which is so scarce in today’s world.
Our Cricket Team: Well how can I not mention about these two great brothers Toto and Dodo (Dipto and Dipon). Wonderful kids so well bought up by their parents, so well behaved and intelligent, a precious delight. Arijit ahem we call him haadi (that cooking utensil in Bengali) a great guy who is always behind his girlfriend and nagging her to do the gym), Vishal (a new friend yet we feel like being together for so long), Shishu: The great Shishu (pity if you don’t know him) and every one else apart from them.
Kaushik : Laziest amongst us all will agree:)) Such a great guy, humble but knows business when it matters
Ritzu: One must ask him what it is to be like Ritzu? And what it takes to be like Ritzu? Its difficult, its truly difficult. Ritzu is only one. A great friend and loved and hated at the same breath by all.
Supravat: Great associate. Has can do it all attitude, Just that he misses out on everything so often.
The list continues…..
May be some day I will try and compile all.
For today, may be this is all I can compile. Thank you People, thanks a lot for being there.
OK Last Minute life saver pack: Pooja "the crown princess of Doon": I leave her here and then I am dead. Can't take that risk. Wonderful lady, just one needs to live with her whims and fancies:))))
