In Memory of Raj

i dinnot even know this guy a month bk...first time..it was this new guy in Synergy-Elements teamm...thought that he was a junior...next i met him was during volunteers day whr i forced him to help me...then it was childrens day when he was tht guy with a huge cam...hardly talked or even said hi...then the CHIP trip happened....sat bside him for sometime during the journey..."some" time coz...this guy cant sit in one place for more than 30 min...restless and active....this"peoples man" was upto something or the other..pulling ppl to play antakshari...clicking snaps...catching the most unusual and bful emotions......always thinking abt how to get evry1 involved....the next 3 days were really enjoyable with this guy arnd...he wil surprise u vth ur comments and converstaions...he amazes u vth his photography talent...he wud be the initiator of evry activity..."front-runner" in evrything he does...and silently capturing all our expressions in his cammy...suddenly he goes into those silent modes by the pool side...as if "self-introspection" going on n the next moment he is off vth his mp3 player in his ears....the most memorable part was the antakshari by the side of campfire...whr raj was
changing teams jus to 'sing along' and 'sing aloud'...then the bus journey the way bk...playing personalities game and arguing vth evry1...all through the journey one of the persons i interacted the most was raj.....he was one sensible person with whom i enjoyed the conversing with...after the trip it was same old routine schedule but thr was a new friend...who wil surprise u with his sudden short visits to ur cube...discussing annual day ...uis trip...movie to look out for...my chut accident...emerald phone and the lost adaptor....discussion cud be nething...this guy wud come appear bhind u with his deep loud voice....always smiling inspite "n" no: of tasks hes entagled in...thr was annual day ...CR work...features and the team trip.....

raj...this is for u...though i knew u for a little while u touched my life in big way....i was in a real shock for 3 days...still not able to get over the FACT...and it shunt have happened...wateva happened... was looking so unnecessary...u dinnot deserve this...u were full of "life" and always made the other person feel good abt himself...one of the most selfless persons i have seen.... really talented and "not an ordinary" person....thr was a spark in ur eyes...a restlessness to do something...to give back something to the world...u asked for comments on ur blog...i dinnot comment then coz i wanted to do it in detail...but now i say that it is the best blog i have ever seen ...the way u write the way u express ur thoughts ...those snaps...those chat sessions...evrything ringing in my mind....u r thr in our hearts...those snaps...those memories...the KHUSHI mascot....thx raj for those times we all shared!!!never missed any1 so much as i am missing u now...even now i hope for a miracle tht u appear bhind my seat....with those deep eyes and broad smile!!!
