Everyday in your life you meet different people at different time. Some stays as long as work is there, some walks
by just to see you and smile at you and some stays forever. When you meet someone for the first time you talk a bit, you judge the comfort level and the amount of common things and tastes of your life.
When you meet again your heart wants to know more about that person as you have recognized that person someone familiar who may stay. Very few people open up their life, their experiences in the first meeting.
Coming back to the point from where I have to start my story, I would like to introduce one such person who came and stayed, but left by his own will. But then life gave a jolt, a real massive one. He caught hold of me again as may be I was someone who can share, who can soothe his shattered soul.
He was surrounded by friends-real good ones, family. But someone has turned him so down that he has lost his control over himself and he has lost his strength to regain himself, his life again.
Wonder how I met him! Well, you find friends accidentally, so the meeting point is not really required. Our first meeting was impressive, yes for me, it was. I met a person who was bubbling with confidence, has dream in eyes to do something big and who wants to be the King of the world.
I was really impressed by his ‘Never Say Die’ attitude. He saw many hardships from his younger years. But he wanted to move ahead in life, wanted to do something about the life ahead. He has learned from his past, regained tremendous strength and moved ahead.
He has opened up his life in front of me, has shared everything that was required. I was not expecting that much but he did. Then the meeting came to an end with a hope of meeting again. After few days, I had a chat with him and he sounded too low. I asked the reason but there was big silence. I never interfered again. Then I lost his track completely, wondered what happened to a strong person like him.
There was a big reason to bog that person down who is positive and knows what he wants from his life. Then after a long time he met me again. Of course, through our favorite GTalk! He sounded shattered and too low. I asked the reason but then again in turn I got his Silence.
Then he called up one day, he sounded real low, he was in some other world. He don’t have the answer to tell me, why he called up. I was helpless, can’t do anything but try to find out the reason of his condition.
I can’t see my friend going down like that. The image of the person whom I met for the first time was totally different from the person on the other side of the call. Now came my role, To Get Him Back Into Action from where he has left.
I stayed and told him to meet his friends, talk to his family, and be with his family. Of course, the reason must have been big but his positive attitude and confidence have that courage to fight with all the negative things.
He again vanished, months passed away. I tried to contact but in vain. Then, I stopped trying and waited. One fine day, the Green light in the front of his name got lit and I so does my light of hope. He talked about the turmoil going on in his life. I heard and kept on motivating him to do well.
Then one day we met, I just want to listen to him. We met and I was aghast to see him. He looks like a stranger. I was searching for that chirpy, bubbly, confident boy. He was standing there all lost in his own world. I thank God that he remembered me. It was there on his face, he was shattered by the blows that life has given him.
He was on the verge of getting doomed. Well, how can I let that happen? We talked and I gave him a hope that everything will be fine again. I told him to start by making a small effort which can make a big difference in his life. Name of that hope is Smile.
After that meeting, I saw that hope in his eyes. After few days, he called up and I was amazed to hear that he smiled again. I was relieved and prayed for his smile. Things got better and better day by day. I prayed everyday for the same and thanked God for his happiness.
As of now, I m happy to get my friend back. His hope of living life has come back and very soon he will again bounce back with a bang. I hope while reading this he will realize how a person is capable of making himself and destroying himself on his own.
May God give him strength of moving ahead in life and realizing his dreams. May he never be pricked by those thorns that gave him pain. May my hope always be in his heart and on his face to enlighten everyone around him.
