I know it now.

One thing that I have realized lately, and am happy to realize so is that, there is professionalism involved in everything that surrounds you. I do not condemn its existence but still, you definitely feel looted once you experience so. Most of you, in fact all of you, might be wondering why exactly am I behaving so awkwardly. Actually, my latest encounters with some of my friends have encouraged me to write so.



I have always valued friendship. I haven’t got a vast friend circle, as you all know very well, but yeah!! The people I call my friends are definitely close to me. I will call it my weakness that I am like an open book to my each and every one of you. (Obviously, I’m not expecting someone stranger reading this. I doubt whether my closest friends have interest in reading this either.) You probably know almost everything about me. My past (which is anyway boring enough to share), my likings, the things I dislike and also the people I like. :O And that indeed has cost me at fairly often. I always ignored it due to my “Let it happen” attitude. Though I now realize, things are not that simple, as they pretend to be. And knowing it, is what you call experience.

“I don’t think our friendship will continue the same way as it is going on now. I doubt we’ll even meet once our juniors take over.” I said to rheshabh during our club party. I regret it now. What impression had it left on each and every one of my fellow club representatives? Obviously, no one thinks that way, and even if someone does, he/she at least doesn’t share so. But I was a bit disturbed. More than that I regret I couldn’t enjoy one of my rare outings. At the back of my mind, there was always something going on. I guess, you people didn’t notice it. But I was under a real set back due to certain reasons.

The tide had to strike back the following afternoon as well. And I don’t think I need to mention anything further. Cause not even in my dreams am I expecting you to read it. The not so good part is, I didn’t expect you to act that much foolish. Whatever, it was your choice. But from now onwards, don’t expect much from my side.

So, conclusion: Your friends are just people who are with you for some reason. They want something out of you.
No way. I still withstand with my previous take. Friends are your second family. For someone like me, mum, dad, viji jiji, mini jiji are always going to mean the most. But yeah! My friends can always count on me as well. And this is my reply.

Seriously, I can’t justify why I actually wrote it. I have gone through some changes in this semester. Why? Even, I don’t know. But, I’m not the same. I’ve gone through some turmoil. But, I’m enjoying it. I’m not afraid to share anything now. May be that’s not good; as it may hit me back again. But I’m ready. My actions are more controlled now, for that sole reason only. I no longer wish to be Shaun Kurkait. I am Tarun Kaushik and I will have to remain Tarun Kaushik.


P. S. Messages

Mum, Dad: I love you. And you can trust me blindly, cause I know what you expect from me and I assure you, I’ll never let you down.

  2. Well,I dunno bout 80% of the people you wrote bout, but I do know that the blog is straightforward, honest n true for sure...

    First of all, really happy to know that you finally got rid of that Shaun Kurkait image... I always used to dislike it for my friend happens to be Tarun Kaushik, guess I've told that many times already...

    I could relate to your blog buddy...
    Two or three years back, we were all kids, knew almost nothing...Its when you enter into college,you meet new people n you have a few good n bad experiences that you tend to realize some things about life, friendships n relationships...

    Well, there were one or two friends who meant A LOT to me once..but right now m not in touch with them,I wont say I've lost them or something coz I used to care for them, its just that I could not take the fact that they took me for granted, thats it..All I know is that though I miss them once in a while all those episodes don matter at all now,why should I be sad about ppl who didnt value my presence when I do have some true friends around :D

    Anyways..I was going out of the topic...Greatest need in the world is the need to be needed, so people around you are important, but always remember, people come n people go, life goes on.. Its just some people like your parents, your family etc. who'll always be there.. baki toh, feelings remain the same, some people leave u, n new ones enter :)

    Always be the same person, I mean..Just be there for them, as a good friend.. u might meet people who might want something from you, but dont forget that there are people who need nothing but you.. Friendship matters, don let others take you for granted, thats it..

    n yeah, no need to justify yourself as long as you are true n honest..its important to express yourself, one feels better after doing so..keep expressing :-)

    Changes are natural..You have just learnt n experienced a few things, and your attitude towards a few things might have changed.. but somehow, you're still the same person :-)

    Once again, I apologize for being rude when I said that you are an adamant person, recently, I realized that you actually have that flexibility in your thoughts I used to talk about...

    Bout being single..
    I am single n m happy bout it too..so I respect your opinion bout relationships..
    Its just that, you should stop being shy while talking to girls.. You should talk to them often,coz guys find it easier to share their feelings with girls.. So,you must have 'more friends among girls' ...

    I've been trying not to write long comments, but I cant help it :( :(

    P.S. I hope Shashank koi interesting sa comment likhe, shayari in particular :P
    pertaining to the fact that you are single, mazaa aa jayega ;)

    Yaar, at least mention yur name.

    @ Sonia.
    Well, as you know I appreciate discussing things, why would I mind a long comment from your side. I'm happy to be Tarun Kaushik too, though still the Shaun Kurkait thingy might pop up every now and then, I guess, that's acceptable. Yeah! I tried to be straight forward, as I always have been. That's exactly the change I'm talking about. Now, I feel it easier to let things out.

    I concluded my post, saying so only. Now, I've more friends than I ever did. And I'm happy to expaand my social circle. Thats why I called them my second family. Though my mum would always be the one who matters the most, nut still, I feel more closer to my friends now.
    I care for them, and they do the same in return. Thats all that matters.

    I'm adamant. Lolz yeah!!!
    Do'n need to be sorry, cause I didn't mind. Rather I enjoyed that part of our conversation.

    I mentioned "I'm single" because I remembered that long discussion on my facebook status. I think I'll browse and copy it all here. That was awesome. As for having more girls as friends is concerned, I don't really feel the difference. I mean, except that my lingo changes a bit, I really don't feel any difference any more.

    Shashank, lets see whether he pops up here as well or not.

  6. I'm not saying "most of the friends".
    I even said, that I don't condemn it.
    Professionalism is an important aspect of any relationship. I'm just saying, as we grow up, we experience it more. In childhood, the most you wanted from your friends was to sent you to open the batting or let you play in forward position in football. It's just one case I mentioned where I had to step back. Rest you can see, I've so many more friends now and that is the better side of coin. I know more people, I interact with more people. I learn more. You always expect back something. Be it care, fun, love, attention. It's just that you do not realize.

    Whatever, lets enjoy Diwali.
    Happy Diwali to you too.

  7. @ Ankita

    Exactly. You did hit the point.
    Friendship is all about give and take.
    You need to reciprocate, in order to continue any relationship.

    Well, these ups and downs don't matter. Actually, nothing as such happened. It was just that I realized so from talks with friends.
    The thing that matters is, how you cope up with all these. As in my case, I've written a blog, to let out my frustration and it kinda worked. :)

  12. To some extent you are right.

    I've not shared enough with you cause I haven't interacted with you a lot. But recently, I've developed a strong urge to share it all with someone. Don't know how to curb it. But in the process, have let out too much, for which I'll have to take care from precisely now onwards.
