A surpise guest , A stranger ??? or Another Friend For Life ???

The year 2001 had loads in store for me. I was running through my engineering semesters like a WhirlWind. Within no time I had completed two semesters.

It was almost the last quarter of 2002. I was having loads of fun @ college. The frequency of our evening walks had almost tripled , since the time we started it.

These days , I was not only spending my Saturday evenings , walking along the streets of BEML Layout , but also those weekdays , when we had a half day off , was thrown wide open , to pitch in , as makeshift Saturdays. We had as much fun on these days as on weekends.

Soon in the month of October 2002 my Third Semester classes started. Hardly a fortnight into my third semester , i noticed one thing. The strength of my class increased by 3.

Three new people joined my class , all of them were Diploma Candidates. Among the three, one person stood out. He was none other than Narayan GK.

Narayan GK was a down to earth guy, his thoughts were as clear and transparent as spring water. People could recognise Narayan as the most humble , modest guy around .

He had loads of expertise behind him , but, yet stood as simple as he could.

He had tremendous knowledge not only in software but also hardware. He was a trained " HARDCORE " hardware and networking guy with an year of professional experience in this field.

One thing I try to learn from Narayan to this date , is his temperment , attitude. He was as cool as the frozen ice of alaska. There were many major events, involving him , that happened during his engineering days , but none of them shook him.

Great Going Narayan. !!!!! Three Cheers. !!!!

Narayan was a resident of my neighboring locality , this proved an added advantage, coz he joined our friends circle on Saturdays. Soon we were 3 in number walking , chatting and having great food on Saturdays.

These memorable days were short lived , as in 2004 we had to part ways due to unavoidable circumstances.

Narayan also completed his graduation, and is currently busier than any of we guys. He s too pursuing a career in the field of IT . He s now put up in Central Bangalore. Though he no more accompanies us , on Saturdays , on our evening walk, the awesome memories of 2002 - 2004 , are sure enough to fill this vacuum.

Narayan I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Remember one thing " We are friends for Life ".

There s gonna be one day when we are gonna freak out harder than ever before.
