"A friend is someone with whom you can sit on a porch for a while, not speak and word, and leave satisfied that you have been listened to".
But did I believe in this? Never! Being the “If you have a mouth, you better speak” kind, I always felt it was important for people in any relationship to communicate. But some one changed it all. My friend P.Krishna or as I fondly call him – Tokkalo Krishna (T.Krishna)
Wheatish Blend, lean, Thorney hair and a nice moustache, he is one guy whom I believe would have suited the CBI. Reason: Well, he remains practically invisible.
He would only ask questions pertaining his ever expansive quest for knowledge. Despite having a crammed worktable, I have never seen him complain about work but he do have problems at work noticed by others.
A pukka introvert, when it comes to brains, he sure is a champ. He can pick nuances which may otherwise be invisible to others. No wonder he is a part of the ILFS Ops and doing lots of certification cources. Don’t know what he is going to do with the certificates hope he don’t open a shop for certificates he he he.
I often know him as my "Crash Test Dummy". This, cause every time I came up with a new line or concept, I would recite it to him and one of my frns in US. If he did not like something, taking care that he does not hurt my creative spirit, he would give me answers like “It’s nice, but…” with an ex-pression that said it all. Never did I ever hear him use the word “bad”. Amazing na?In the whole day, we would speak like a few lines every few hours. The times were when we were working in vizag we used to go around in evening after office for snacks mostly we like those pokodas, chat , pani poori and always our best MIRCHI BAJJI and only in road side Baddi there would be a chocolate that he would offer me which I was more than happy to snatch than accept.
He has this most amazing smile that I have seen when he did things for others. So unconditional, so honest, so wonderful. He also has other kind of smile when he remembers the moments spent with his GF… and speak about his 245th first love I guess… he he he J sorry bae…
He is a loser in Love just because he cant express himself. He has lots of silent words which is worth than expressing… DuDe don’t worry you will defenetely find a gal of u r dreams…
We joined different companies, Krishna is working in Hyderabad and I am somewhere in Europe for few months. Somehow my work space seems so vacuumed hence. I miss his presence, seeing his wonderful smile in the morning, hearing his Andhra accented Hindi (Kaisa hai Be?) and his presence. No, not that I can’t go and meet him, but it’s a different feel all together and I like it.
This is just 1 side of this guy… I ll post about his all other side of Life…
I miss you Krishna, and I shall, for as long as my work place exists. You sure proved “silent words” exist.
