Confessions...

I confess I'm a jerk.

There. I said it. Its not like a secret or that its something amazing... Its just that not many people like to admit it.

Well, I had to. Its long past that time when I used to delude myself that maybe I am sorta kinda a straightforward person who's got some sense...

NO WAY...

Life is way long past that one.

So, how do we carry on from there?
You know, once when I was about 17 years old... I prayed VERY devoutly and with full belief to God, that He should just give me a sign, something that would point me in the right direction.
I prayed that the sign should be something so special that I would have no problem in understand its origins to be divine. I had tears running down my face, and needless to say I was a mess... Problems at home, problems at school, problems with myself... I was in the dumps.


There's something that didn't occur to me.
If God was so gullible to send me the sign... I would've been blind to it.

But then something happened.
My mum always says, children hold a special place in God's heart... It's the grown-ups that need to be looked after.

So one fine day, after playing basketball in Yol Cantonement with my best schoolmate Abhishek Gill, we went up to a pastry shop in the army complex.
Abhishek said, " aaja tujhe bhaiyya se milata hoon."

And that day was THE day, if not the sign, that was the beginning of my change and improvement.

Hats off and my everlasting gratitude to Abhishek Gill,
and to the one person who single handedly brought me around...

Sourabh bhai.
