Kanda Boopathy! 💓

Kanda Boopathy! 💓

 

Okay! I’ll start from the first. We are together since LKG. He had been prominently in our gang since then. He was a thin, idiot-looking, funny person then. No one would’ve guessed him to be the best friend one could have. Like everyone, even I didn’t!

I didn’t know much of him during our initial days. Or my memory file got corrupted it seems. All I remember is, he used to do whatever I asked him to do. But that request should have some proper purpose, or else you will end up getting a dead stare.

In 2014, our Sixth Standard’s December, something interesting happened. We all planned to go to a film. We were 11 year old then. My mom allowed me to choose from which set of slipper I liked to get hit. But she got convinced after Kanda said his father would accompany us. It wasn’t in the plan, and I never wanted him to be disturbed. It was because of Kanda’s father, we had been able to watch movie then. We didn’t know what a big shot he was!

I’ll write it simple. He had other important work than being a dad, I can say. Usually, he would have tons of work to do. But Kanda commited all of a sudden to bring him, for the sake of our plan. He didn’t even ask him. I don’t know till now, whether he got scoldings for it or something bigger.

In our Seventh Standard, We used to go to our tamil classes together. When second language period comes, he would pile the pages from his torn book and smile at me (He always maintains books at the worst condition). He speaks everything about his family enroute, and would reserve a bench for continuing.

I had earlier mentioned I spoke with Kishore and made him comfrotable to the new class. But it was Kanda who would always invite him without fail. That brought belief in Kishore, that we were really interested in him. Kanda always respects my decisions or suggestions. I strongly believe it as I have two reasons:

• Kishore
• The tuition we went together!

Before I come to my tuition, I have to say one more incident.

Once he was saying something very much personal about his family. some problem, I guess. He stopped all of a sudden, and started to process whatever he said. A note for people who know him just now, he starts to blabber whatever he thinks, if his system gets overloaded.

He turned towards me and questioned me, why he was saying all his family issues to me. That was a valid thought. But before I could speak, he took the stage again. He then said that I never used to say these to anyone. He then declared, that he is going to say everything to me. Like whatever happened to him, he would report me. He said he believes me, which I felt a great responsibility over my head.

Talking more about his character, he is always confused. And he is always with hundreds of thoughts to be said but can’t. He always vents it out to me and another friend. Me and that another friend would discuss and bring him a solution. His confused state slowly turned short tempered, but only people close to him get to see that exclusive version of him.

Our tuition period were the golden days in my life. I joined the tuition that day, and the next day he joined it too. He knew nothing about that Tuition, Plus, it was far from his house. But he had a backup plan then, If the sir doesn’t teaches well, atleast I will! He would bring his Activa and half of the time, I had only driven it! And, I had presented a number of scars to him. But everytime, he lets me drive. You may think he was lazy to drive, and I confirm it for you guys! He is lazy to drive.

In our tuition, we had to read a topic and write it once without seeing. Every Sunday, we would’ve tests. We would take a simple topic and would finish it quick to leave fast. If we are too bored to completed, then we would prolong until Sir lets us go. After the tuition, we would go eat Kaalan (Mushroom, But without Mushroom). Or some days, we even eat dinner out. But unlike 2014, this man demands equal share of money.

We once completed tuition and were roaming in streets. That time, our another friend spoke about a hostel that went down ashes in a fire accident, years ago. Many ladies died, he said. We both got so excited and like you guess, we went to that exact location. Okay, you people might have a question In your head now, why does this even matter now? Whats so special about this incident? The time we went matters, actually. It was around 10:30pm I guess.

It looked violent, with fire marks and too dark for further exploration. We decided to go inside, and before we hardly touched the gate, The person next door came to us. I ran to the vehicle and never cared whether Kanda got on or not! I raised the accelerator and pushed the vehicle front. Suddenly, the vehicle went under some turbulence. Kanda hopped on the vehicle while it was in movement. We flew.

From then, we had been trying to get there before anyone could notice. Yeah, we are still trying.

Kanda had did something in my life I could never forget. He was the main reason, my parents got to know there is a school called Velammal Vidyalaya and they admit students in name of Deepan. He convinced my Amma and made her buy a admission form.

He did all this because, he wanted my life to be enlightened? Nah! He wanted me wherever he went. Beside the disadvantage of 7 km distance from the school and my house, I was admitted there. There came the interesting part, He joined another branch in the last moment.

He would have asked thousands of sorries and suggested a branch change too. But nothing happened. But even now, he asks opinion on whatever he does. Am actually happy about him, he haven’t changed, which is what I would need forever! Love You da!
