Lucky Friend


After long time I was back to my home last weekend. There was heavy down pour over the weekend. so most of the time I spent in kitchen with my mom and in dining table eating snacks. On that late Sunday afternoon, I and my mom were discussing about our old neighbors and friends. Meanwhile I was happened to search one of our old neighbor’s phone numbers in my mobile. When I was scrolling down my Phone book I noticed a name ‘Joseph Mdu’, it’s not the name I was searching for but this a special name which I should remember then.



Today I have been in touch with very few of my childhood friends. I missed contact with many of them. In our every stages of life we are getting new friends. Whenever we moved out to new phase of life, we wish and believe to be in touch with old friends. But today’s world never allows us to do so easily as our wish. Friends are becoming 'old friends’ as we get older. And later one day they would become a stranger !!!!



Very few people are lucky in this planet to get a friend who never gets older for them. My Grandpa was one among the lucky people. My Grandpa and Joseph were born on the same day in the same hospital at a town near by their village. They grown up together and chosen different fields and moved to different places in their early twenties. But they were still remaining in touch.

He played with my Grandpa in their childhood and he also played with my mom and mama when they were kids and even with me in my childhood. He is not only a friend to my grandpa but a good friend to all of us. I could still remember him gifted me toys on my birthday when I was a kid and few years back he invited me to join in the bachelors party at my mama’s marriage function when I becomes an adult. He has seen three generations with great love. Very Charming bachelor, cool, strong and bold person is no more today. This lovable man passed away last week. I was looking at his mobile number that day with many more wonderful memories and tears.

“Love over our life ends

long before our death; But

love of friends remains

after our life”



Today, do people really establish relations in infinity by their nature of love inside them self or for fun/entertainment/money or other needs??? Answer is very obvious to all our minds but not to our hearts.



“No Differences; No Expectations; No limits

No meaning; It goes beyond all only with love”



One of my school masters used to say that logic of life is zero, so don’t expect any; just be joyful and spread it with love. My lucky friend has done the same all over his life.

Rest In Peace Joseph thatha.

Looking at some pretty fellow passengers,air hostess and cute children playing around, i waited to collect my heavy weighted two suitcases from the conveyor be...

Christmas Guest

24 th December 2015 It was 8’0 clock in the evening, Christmas Eve prayer just got over in an Evanglische church located in the outskirts of a small town deep inside of black forest in Germany. Church volunteers were wrapping up the things after the event.   As one of the residents in the church building, I was also invited for the Christmas Eve function; I stayed in a room on the second floor of the same church building which was rented out by church management.  There were totally seven rooms, all were occupied by students from nearby towns and villages who studies in the local college. Black forest is one of the most beautiful regions in the country, not densely populated; sharing borders of Switzerland on one side and France on the other side. I enjoyed my summer time touring around every single holiday, but then came winter, it was heavy, almost snowing every day, weekends were terrible for me, there wasn’t no-much friends for me there and more ov...

I'm a Finisher

                   In the year 490 B.C, there was a war between Greece and Persian kingdoms. Greece dint have enough potential but their solders outshine Persian tactics and won the battle of Marathon. This news had to be carried to capital Athens along with a warning message that Persian army might attack the city through sea; So Army general had chosen pheidippides (a messenger/runner) to send the message to Athens. He had run all the way from Marathon Battle Ground to Athens around 26 miles. After delivering the message of “Joy to You”, Pheidippides died shortly thereafter from exhaustion. He had died not because of just 26 miles run.. He was sent to contact Sparta army 140 miles away from the battle ground to seek help.280 miles of running (66 Hours) on rugged mountainous path followed by a day of battle and again 26 miles of running (3 Hours) to Athens on the same day wasn’t an easy challenge. He pushed himself past normal limi...
