My friend...

For almost more than a week it was burning hot, temperature had raised all of sudden or may be I just moved in to a new apartment and stayed home for couple of days and felt the heat of spring and start of summer. However today when I woke up and came out to see the morning Sun and those baby pink colored flowers in the patio, instead rain drops and petals spread all over the patio pleasantly welcomed me! I wide opened the blinders to feel the cloud, misty tree and rain dripping flowers, of course with a cuppa tea and heater on! This weather forced me to send a WFH for first half of the day and sat at home nicely enjoying the rain and replying to the mails… [Had a long long day at work after that, that is a different story :D, kuch pane ke liye kuch khona bhi padta hai :(]

Later after noon came to work and religiously went and took a cuppa coffee to kick start my work! Ooops! What happened? Looks like got a right amount of coffee, sugar and cream and a perfect coffee and fresh aroma! Outside of the Windows [not 2K3 or 2K8, the real one!] I see airport, flights landing and taking off, scattered cars on the road… some how this weather and aroma of coffee took me to the flash back! This kinda coffee I was not used to, the amount of darkness in the coffee I used drink was too light, now over a period of time it has grown and this weather and coffee reminds me of those days when I just had started drinking, of course coffee! :) I had just joined my first job in US! And had a great friend at work who was my colleague, well-wisher and a guide, with who I started drinking this coffee at office! I remember those walks I used to take with him everyday, I remember those fears I used to share with him, and I remember his jokes which tried hard to make me laugh! And I remember those wishes he showered on me…. And I used to call him Chachu…and used pestered him to stick my picture (:P) along with his kids pics on his office wall!!... and when ever I called him “Chachu” he used to pretend angry … saying “main itna bhudda nahi hoon ki tum muje chachu kahe!” :) but you see I never gave up on it… and he is still my favorite Chachu and I cherish those memories for my life long… I’m indebted to those countless things he did it to me unconditionally, who stood beside me for anything and everything… Chachu I miss you and miss our walks and talks….I hope our paths cross again and we work together.
