My friend Shreyas…

I am a big believer in destiny and fate and karma. I believe in giving out to others without expecting anything in return. But somehow I know that whatever I give, however small it may be, it always comes around… in some way or another.
Just like this, I know some things are meant to be. It’s a strong feeling, which tells you that certain things will last… no matter what… I know someone, who is so pure of heart and so selfless that he can be the most generous and giving to even the people who are not even deserving of his acts. That’s a level of selflessness which I have hardly seen in the people around me, and something which I am not even close to as far as my nature goes…
This post is a tribute to one of the most wonderful human being I know… My friend Shreyas…
We have been through a lot, have had our share of ups and downs… but even through all that, even in the times where we were not on talking terms, I knew, deep down, that if I am in need, he will be there… no matter what. He is that giving and forgiving…. I think it just comes with being Shreyas. 
I don’t know why I chose today, but I want to say that it has been an honour knowing you, and it is my greatest pleasure knowing that I have you as my friend.
And even though we hardly speak and rarely see each other, I know for a fact, that if I am in need, wherever I may be, I will find you by my side at that time… Cheers to us mate…
P.S. My troubled college life feels worth it because u were a part of it dude…

And I’m not kidding. I was officially declared dead by the Police Department for almost half a day. That is until I went there and even then they were adamant I was dead…
Lemme start from the beginning…
What happened was…
I had applied for my Passport on 4th August 2009. There were some holidays in between so I thought maybe the procedure is delayed ‘coz of that. But now it was 2 months and my friends who had applied with me had already got their passports ready and I was not yet called for the police verification also. So with my dad’s help, I got some internal contact in the PD and tried to find about the details. He checked it out and said the crime report was not sanctioned yet. And he did it in 2 hours by his influence. Then came the identity verification wherein I had to present there in person. He told me come to the station the next day at 3 pm. And so I did. And when I got there, the person behind the desk asked me the name of the applicant. I told him my name.
He glanced at the file and said the application has been returned. I asked why. He said the applicant 9is dead!!! I was like “WHAT???” I am standing right in front of you. And he was like, “but we called in the morning and the person on the other end said that the named person was dead. This discussion went on for 2 hours and he wasn’t even ready to rectify the error. Thankfully, my dad’s contact found someone else to do the job. And the whole thing was resolved. But the jackass behind the desk didn’t move a finger.
The kind man who helped us out came to our house in the evening and told us what had happened.
The verification application had been received by the PD from the Passport Office on 5th August 2009. And the day they “rediscovered” it, it was 6th October 2009. And apparently, if the file goes to the higher authorities, the people in the filing department are questioned as to why the delay. And this entire episode was a ploy by that asshole to save his own neck.
Things I learnt from this…
- The Police Department is more full of shit than they show in Bollywood movies…
- Corruption and laziness runs deep in government offices, more so in the police.
Come on mate… I thought the police was here to save people… not to “KILL” ‘em…

OOPS! I did it again…
August 9, 2008 at 8:13 pm | In General, Personal | 4 CommentsTags: Experience, Fun, Life, People
Yup! I did it again! Now u must be wondering what I did, that I’m so excited about. Well, I’ll give you some background first.
I like roaming with my friends… Let me rephrase that… I love roaming aimlessly with my friends. Roaming aimlessly means going places without knowing where we are headed to. This can only happen if we have our own vehicle. So… I love roaming aimless with my friends in my dad’s car. No problem right… Ummm… Actually, there is a small problem. My car doesn’t have central locking, so I sometimes (make that often) forget the car keys inside the car and lock the car from outside. Yes, I did it again today… I’ve become an expert at forgetting my key inside now.
I’ve forgotten the key inside the car almost half the times I’ve gone roaming with my friends. Well, let me just recall, twice with my family, far away from home, so we had to break the lock (well, almost break it ). Thrice with my friends. Once with my sister, that’s today.
The first time with my friends was when we had gone roaming, we roamed around half of North Goa, came to Miramar Beach, and there I forgot the key. Luckily, my house is close by so I could call dad with the keys. The second time was when we had eaten at Fidalgo and were supposed to go roaming after that. This is also within the city, so I called dad (again). But it wasn’t my fault, Loverboy distracted me. The third time, we had gone to Chorao island by ferry, I was the first person to get into the ferry while coming back, when we had almost reached back to the jetty, I realized I had forgotten the keys, and both my friends shouted out at the moment, NOT AGAIN!!! But I had managed to open the lock with a twisted rod in less than 15 seconds. If dad knew I had gone to Chorao, and I had locked the car with the keys inside, IN THE FERRY, I don’t think I’d get the car again. Its good he doesn’t know… yet. Only my friends present at the moment there would know the heat of the moment. Except dEE, of course, who didn’t know what was going on till I got the rod and stuck in inside the car door after removing the strip off the window… coz he was too busy listening to music. Till then he was wondering why Loverboy is running up and down you should have seen the expression on his face.
I had vowed I would get central locking installed then, but my friend suggested a “more economical” solution. He said, just tape a metal rod below the car. SMART!
Today I took my sister for a treat to “Chaat Street”, since her exams got over, then I had to go to Bata showroom to buy sandals for myself coz the old one broke. Didn’t find anything in the Panjim Showroom, so came to the St. Inez showroom, and I forgot the keys again. So far, this is the closest to my house, so I called dad n he told me, if I ever forget the keys again, I’m not getting the car again.
I hope I continue getting my car to go around with my friends… and continue forgetting my keys inside giving my friends a little adrenaline rush.
I am feeling
