After the news of Pratik's death , one of my classmate - Salman who is also the monthly author of my blog shared his words of condolence for the sweetest friend we had.
SALMAN'S WORD FOR PRATIK ->>
 |
| Our Sweetest Friend - PRATIK AMBRE |
TODAY… I WRITE TO YOU ALL WITH REGRET…
TODAY I WRITE TO YOU ALL FILLED WITH SORROW…..
BECAUSE TODAY I WRITE TO YOU ALL ABOUT A TRAGEDY…
BECAUSE TODAY OUR DEAREST PRATIK AMBRE IS NO LONGER WITH US…
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEELINGS THAT ONE MIGHT FEEL WHEN A FRIEND PASSES AWAY. WHEN SOMEONE THAT IS SPECIAL TO US IS GONE IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE LIVING LIFE. THINGS THAT WERE SPECIAL ONCE MAY SEEM POINTLESS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THAT SPECIAL PERSON TO SHARE IT WITH.ALL OF THE THINGS YOU DID TOGETHER ARE REMINDERS OF THE LOSS THAT YOU HAVE SUFFERED.DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE TIME TO MOURN YOUR LOSS.
THOSE OF YOU READING THIS WHO KNEW PRATIK, WHO WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH AND PRIVILEGED TO KNOW HIM SHALL KNOW WHAT A GREAT FRIEND, A NOBLE PERSON HE WAS… TO THOSE WHO WERE UNFORTUNATE TO KNOW HIM—HE WAS MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THAT…….
HE HAD THIS CROOKED SMILE THAT USED TO EASE ALL PAIN OUT…. THE WAY HIS EYES SHONE WHILE TALKING WITH YOU, ONE WOULD FEEL THAT HE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON AROUND IN THIS WORLD… HIS EASY GO AROUND MANNER CAN BE SIMPLY CALLED MAGNIFICENT ;) WHATEVER YOUR SORROW MAYBE, HOWEVER DEEP THE WOUNDS MAYBE HE JUST HAD HIS TRADEMARK SENTENCE FOR IT : “AISA HUA TERE SAATH??!!? BURA HUA YAAAR…. TO AB?.. AB BHAAD ME GAYA WO SAB CHAL JAAKE WADA PAAV KHAATE HAI!!! ;)” THIS IS WHAT HIS MOST STRIKING FEATURE WAS… TO TURN THE TEARS DUE TO A HUGE TRAGEDY TO LAUGHTER, DEEP LAUGHTER WITHIN SECONDS….
PERSONALLY HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE, A HUGE SUPPORT WHEN I WAS ABANDONED BY EVERYONE EXCEPT ONE ANOTHER JAYESH AND THIS ‘PRATIK’… THEY WERE THE GUYS WHO KEPT ME SANE IN THE TIME OF MADNESS WHO SEEPED AWAY MY PAIN THROUGH LAUGHTER…
HE WAS A MAN OF A SIMPLE IDEOLOGY: SHOW AND EXPRESS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FEEL
I AND I AM SURE MANY OF US WHO WERE PRIVILEGED TO KNOW HIM, WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT HE WAS NEVER A PERSON WITH TWO MOUTHS… HE SAID WHAT HE BELIEVED AND HE BELIEVED WHAT HIS SAID…
GREAT DEDICATION TO HIS STUDIES, PASSION FOR HIS FAVORITE SPORT—VOLLEYBALL,RESPECT AND TOTAL DEVOTION OF HIS MOTHER AND TOTAL SUPPORT NO MATTER WHAT TO HIS FRIENDS ARE THE TRAITS WHICH MADE HIM STANDOUT IN THE CROWD……
HIS LIFE HAD BEEN A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE FOR AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER, IT WAS NEVER THE EASY WAY FOR HIM.. BETWEEN WHAT WAS EASY AND WHAT WAS RIGHT PRATIK ALWAYS SELECTED WHAT WAS RIGHT AND THAT SPEAKS A HELL LOTTA ABOUT HIS CHARACTER…..
WORDS DON’T COME OUT AS EASILY AS TEARS AND SORROW DO……
SO HERE I WILL STOP…. MY WORDS STOP. BUT MY GRIEF, IT CONTINUES… BECAUSE NOTHING CAN REPLACE WHAT WE ALL HAVE LOST…
AND WHAT WE HAVE LOST IS NOT JUST ANY PERSON, NOT JUST ANY FRIEND, NOT JUST ANY SON, NOT JUST ANY BROTHER…
BUT WHAT WE LOST IS A PIECE OF OUR SOUL….. A VERY DEAR AND PRECIOUS PIECE OF OUR SOUL WHICH CAN NEVER BE REPLACED…
THE VOID LEFT IN OUR HEARTS CANNOT BE FILLED… BUT LET US CHERISH HIM FOR THE GOOD HE HAD AND FOR THE GOOD HE DID…. AND FOR THE WONDERFUL FRIEND HE HAS BEEN..
TO HIS MOTHER I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND THOUGH WORDS CAN’T HEAL THE PAIN I HOPE YOU CONSIDER US AS YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND THAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE THE WHOLE LONG WAY…..
I THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SUCH A WONDERFUL FRIEND….
AND I FINISH THIS WITH A FEW LINES……
Your smile, your laughter
-Only a memory.
Your voice, your personality
-Only a memory.
Sometimes people mention your name.
Some just keep quiet.
But no matter what is or isn’t said.
You’re always on someone’s mind.
time has gone by,
But it seems like only yesterday,
You were by your family’s side.
We can only think of who you’d be,
To us, you only remain a memory.
It’s been a while since you’ve been gone.
For your friends and family, things just aren’t the same.
It still doesn’t seem real.
Who holds the blame?
If love could have saved you,
You’d still be here today.
The love we hold for you,
Will never change.
As you lay in a still rest,
God broke our hearts to prove he took the best.
Everything you did, everything you were.
It’s only a memory.
One of Pratik's Classmate,
SALMAN JANJIRKAR
