After living for 8312 days on this planet, I thought I was the one who knew about Rajiv, more than any one did. But it is now, the 25th of may 2008 at around 2 pm I might be proven wrong. The day began like all the normal days. Rajiv and I woke up at around 9 am today, very early to the standards we have set. There was a time when we woke up regularly at around 2 pm and sometimes even 4. However to discuss that would be to digress, so let us come back. Freshened up and ate three aloo paranthas (yummy); <freshened up means lightening up and brushing the teeth’s>. Then we had my routine thinking session; Rajiv started to think doing the work I had planned, but I started to listen to some green day songs and chatting on gtalk. We soon forgot about the work he had to do and started to orkut now, but I soon became bored of that too. The thought of work again came to his mind, it was like a evil dark lord who wanted to ruin my Sunday.
I have this theory that people read daily predictions in order to give themselves a hope that they will taste success today, or some work which was knocking at the doors of uncertainty will suddenly realize that the doors have opened and they are the one’s of certainty, or they will gain some treasure, or blah blah. I think that you understand what I want to say, that these predictions are never saying something which one does not wants to hear. Instead they tell what you wanted to, and then they motivate you to do the stuff. If they said what one does wanted to hear, they would not be as successful as they are. They will be violating the laws of supply and demand. Hey I again digressed; coming back to the topic.
Now Rajiv wanted to read something good about himself or that something good is going to happen, like the work that he had to do will miraculously be completed today without any efforts from his side. So he started googling about some astrology sites. He googled upon one of the sites that looked good; although he knows what he wants to read and that all of the sites will provide him with that information, he did wanted it to look authentic. So he registered at one of these sites and read the daily prediction, which was exactly what he wanted to read. However there were various other section and one of those were ‘general predictions’. I was curious, and clicked this and started reading. This was the starting point of me doubting my knowledge about Rajiv. This is what the physical description had to say:
Good complexion, well formed body, tall, slender in youth but tendency to stoutness in middle age, smooth, brown to black hair, blue or brown eyes, passionate, parrot like nose round or oval face, good features, curves and contours of body are regular, often have dimples, good looking graceful and youthful appearance with sweet smile and with attractive countenance. Almond eyes which speak themselves. Such persons look younger than age normally.
I starting wondering when did Rajiv become tall and slender; when did he develop this parrot like nose and from when does he started having dimples, regular curves and contours of body. And what are these almond eyes, I was so confused. I hadn’t seen Rajiv from some time; and was wondering that can a person undergo so much changes in one night sleep. I had heard that while people sleep they become taller, but how tall do they become. I was confused, my updated knowledge had the picture of a five feet four inches person weighing 64 kilos, who barely takes bath due to laziness, with a small nose, and fat cheeks and has a growing belly.
I wanted to put an end to this confusion, and there was only one way. I stood up, slided the keyboard rack in and walked through the dining room and stood in front of the mirror. All the confusion was gone, it was still the same Rajiv. And it was still me who knew most about him, more than anyone else on this planet. I now started to listen to some songs again.
