The journey of life takes us through various paths and the best part of this trip is the opportunity to get to meet and know a variety of people. Of-course, we just click off with a few of them and it just feels right. I have met this character, who defines the word 'weird' for me. A sweet cute "little" Bong girl who just happens to end up doing the 'most simple' thing in the weirdest possible way. The moment she starts off narrating her real life stories, I start preparing myself to end up with a stomachache and watery eyes thanks to the uncontrollable laughter!
This extraterrestrial being is mostly found in places where the human population is scarce. Usually absentminded and unaware of the surroundings, this creature is always seen searching for something on surface of the earth. The usual protocol of smiling at familiar faces is very conveniently ignored under the excuse of "not being able to see" the earthly inhabitants. Eating habits include chewing on cooked animals and vegetables, birds being the preference. Heavy mood swings are not very uncommon and is marked by pretending to be starving and pushing oneself through the "silent phase" where talking is forbidden. The characteristic feature that makes this species vulnerable to constant mockery and challenges its survival in large social groups is 'poor memory'.
It will take a lot of time to narrate the uncountable hilarious incidences that has happened with her so far... but truly she is a blessing for all those who finds it difficult to "change their frown upside down". As her lab-mate Malli once said "bas iski shakal dekhne se hi hasi aajate hai", I doubt if someone will ever disagree to that! Those big innocent eyes always manage to create a soft-corner in the listener's heart and she ends up taking people her way. Her senior Soumitra sure deserves a Nobel prize for keeping "Peace" with her. For Rupesh and Wareed probably she is the best toy their PI could have given for them to play with. All they have to do is key-up and the show begins. For all those who find her engrossed in searching for interesting documentaries, the fact is she is looking for information about her planet. I wish one day Adwait and Anirban are able find out what she is searching for!
On a serious note when she gets to giving serious advices, after a few giggles even I tend to listen. In totality she is a nice combination of... a fun mate, a naughty kid, a bright student, a brilliant artist and a very caring friend (kyun Preeti, wat say?) Be the same Chandu, u urself dont know what a great entertainment package u r. The time that we spend together, is all worth it... its just memories in the making. After all "tumhi din chade, tumhi din dhale.... tumhi ho bandhu, sakha tumhi !!" :D
