It was September 4th,2009 11.30 in the night.It was raining heavily and i was in a very psoitive mood enjoying the onam weekend with my family .Then i thought let me look into my hotmail which i hadnt looked in a long time.To my horror and schock there was a email from prem indicating the death of manjith.All of a sudden i thought ,is this some kind of joke ?Or is prem is indicating about any other person named manjith.Then i realised that it was our own Manjith,the leanest and youngest of our mallu gang of our batch in our college.My mind and body froze up for several moments looking into the rain and thinking of Manjith a.k.a Jeetu!!!
Jeetu...i have never addressed Manjith with that name in person be it in college or the years after that.But when ever i spoke to some one especially dinesh(his cousin)i used to adress him with that,i dont know why ?
The first thing that comes to my mind is the first year hostel life ,especially in the morning when the van used to come to pick us up,manjith would be just waking up.All of a sudden he would go to the terrace, open the tap and get his "punk" hair straightened and the dress up.On talking to dinesh last week ,he told me that Jeetu had still the same exhuberence about his hair and hair style saying to his cousins"What a silky hair i have ".
I cant still beleive that he has gone to the heavens,his face and mannerism is still vivid in my mind even though i hadn't met him for almost 6yrs.He was frank,naughty,has his views on everything and liked my one and all.Every one enjoyed his company and friendship.There are so many incidents and faces flashing across my mind now.
I am lost for words,really wanted to write a lot out of frusturation...why has been he taken away at this age ?I dont understand...its such a pity
Jeetu,I know you are looking upon us from the heavens ... we will remember you for the rest of our lives !!!
Love & Peace
