"TD"

"TD" deserves much much more than just a single post, but this is a memoir, and it needs to be brief.

Well how do i put it. Humans need oxygen to breathe, people like me need something different, we can keep breathing but not know that we are living, we require an essence that gives us a nudge and says "You are living, now get going and clean up the mess you have created". That essence for me is "TD". "TD" is life personified.

If you have read my previous post, you would already know that i met "TD" in Nashville on that rainy day, and that was the beginning of my fondest days.

"TD" had brought in a sense of life in me, to a certain extent even a sense of responsibility. Through our various conversations, debates, arguments, humorous banter, even just silence, i slowly matured. When "TD " was there, all i wanted was that conversation, that banter, that silence to never end.

People get woken up by alarm clocks, some by kicks from their pals, i used to get woken up by this very cool, pleasant but a threatening voice asking me to rise and shine, and if i did not i knew the consequences, so i rose and shone everyday without fail. Its unforgettable that voice, if you ever get to meet "TD", you will understand as well.

We ventured around the entire United states from the south to the north and from the east to the west, time just flied. It had to, moments never stop when "TD" is around. How can it, can u even imagine yourself trying to weave a car through heavy traffic on an interstate when you are a new driver and your co passenger is feeding on french fries due to emotional distress seeing the heavy traffic and my plight? Can u imagine a day when you are completely dehydrated due to a bad drinking night previous to that and you are about to collapse someone asking you "You will not die right?"? Can you imagine peacefully sleeping in the morning and then someone knocking on your door and opening it to find a person in distress because the driving instructor had been mean? Can you imagine a person getting upset and breaking all hell lose because you could not enter your house on a rainy night as some idiot had taken away your key? Its difficult, because you did not meet "TD".

As i said earlier one post is not enough, maybe a lifetime is not enough for "TD", since it is not possible to encompass life in a life time till you have lived it fully, similarly "TD" and the memories that remain cannot be encompassed here.

This is a very brief ode to "TD", but i know once i read this again or it is read to me again, i shall recover from my memory loss.

"TD" is the humor of life, the pathos of the soul, a rainbow on a rainy day and the last star in the sky.

Live on, dream on, touch peoples lives, teach them to live, make them smile, take away their pains and sorrows. That's what "TD" always wants, and i have to end this post with that.


Dedicated to the one and only "TD" .......
