The Real "HR"

I am sure by this time every one has started misunderstanding HR for the way he deals with his life, his friends and specifically his love. But trust me; HR is a gem of a person and a very good friend.
He has a bag full of witty comments with an awesome sense of Humor and the playful sarcasm. Everything seems lively when he is in your company, coz of his spontaneity, one can never be sure of what to expect of him but when his is around you are bound to have a good time. His choice of food related places is excellent; he prefers eating at a road side shack than going to a closed AC restaurant. So do you catch what I'm throwing at you?
Though he has his mood swings like any other normal person and you have to bear him during that phase, don’t blame him, for these mood swings are good, for him as well as for others coz m sure during that time, he reflects upon his life, future, his doings and once he is back, he is uncontrollable in a good way of course.
Let me tell you a bit more of HR; he is a Tam Bham (Tamil Brahmin), his dad is a Conservative, University Professor specializing in Sanskrit and his mom is a wonderful lady who loves hospitality. I love going to HR’s place just to experience the hospitality offered. Aaah the food.
So, in spite of having a Professor dad, HR was never forced to do anything against his wishes, he was always given a free hand of choices, from the college he wanted to go to the life style he chose to live. And that is why he has utmost respect for his dad and love for his mom.
From the time I know HR (School 4th Std) he has always been very good at studies, and helping others in the school. In fact, I once happened to visit HR’s tuition and I see HR is handling the tuition coz the teacher was late, when I ask him what is he doing, he said that it was a common event. He always wondered what people will put down on his grave stone when he died, weird right, but that is HR.
And HOPELESS, he was always. I remember during our adolescence when everyone was looking forward to go on dates explore things, HR wanted to understand the feeling of being together, the feeling of falling in love, the feeling of holding hands. I remember he used to pick me on his bike early mornings and when I used to ask him about what he is up to, he used to tell me to wait and watch. Most of the times it used to be to one of the SILENT beaches with not many people around, once there he would just go and sit on the rocks or the sand, looking into the horizon without a word and this used to go on for hours J . I miss my childhood days and more importantly the company of HR.
One must be wondering how I know all this, such information and details about HR, well coz I was his confidante always, even if we couldn’t catch during the day for whatever reason he used to come to my place, and after the pleasantries exchange with my folks we used to slip to the terrace, lie down, and appreciate the skies and the stars EVERY TIME we met. I think HR loves to look into empty spaces or nature or whatever but he does is very often. So we used to lie down and he used to apprise me of everything that I wasn’t aware of during the day.
Dats how I know HR so much and that’s why this blog J
