More than 9 years so we met. This is our story Brother @harman.swatch. Why now? Because of Lockdown? NO.
Yesterday I had to go through Google photos and usme hamari last 9 years wapis jiye toh soucha bhaijaan waqt ka Kya pata mauka hai duniyo ko shikate hai Bhai sabd ki Kya Kimmat hai.
Toh I had joined a school at Nashik in 2012 during mid year jab sab start ho Chuka tha. I had a lot to cover up. I was taller then rest. I was introvert with impulsive behavior against bad individual. So I was quietly completing my notebook, page by page when all of a sudden group of bullies one by one came and tapped on my shoulder just saying hello. Clearly trying to piss me. Those bullies where merely half of my height which made me laugh within so I ignored because I knew the fact that I may just hit them a little too hard. (To understand better I had shifted from Mumbai to Nashik where as in Mumbai you don't see groupism at small age. But in Nashik groupism is some how present from birth. But trust me Nashik is a beautiful place to be as I met the first of my life here anyways back to story) So they continued this tapping for few more time until I stood tried to get a catch one of them from collar and pushed him to other side of the classroom followed by the rest 4. Then came there leader Rahil Shaikh for the first time, skinny but as tall as me. But still looking at his structure, as he walked towards me I was wondering, "kyo marna hai isko yaar". So he came as close as he could looking into me eyes, I had decided to end the chapter with one or two blows as I cannot tolerate bullies.
Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed me from behind taking me away from him, as I tried to look back who he's, I could only see a red turban and a beared pushing into my shirt. As I fumed up to confront him, he said, "Mere Bhai Kai ko pange le raha hai bin baat ke?" Yes, He is Harman, Harman Singh Swatch. Jada hi heroic entry mil hai sale ko, mera lime light le liya 😂😂
But then those bullies started those old school rants we'll see you after school and me being me, replied, "haa aah jao". Nothing happened after school though. Never thought a situation, a fight, will give me A Brother for a Life time.
So you all must be wondering ki, after this encounter ek dum yaar, jigri ban gaye ham dono. NO. 😂😂 Actually I was more of a conservative back then toh jada logo se banti ni thi, it took time to talk to someone. Actually friendship se pehle hi jaghda hua?! Seriously. But abh voh story start ki baate lambi kich jaengi..
But as school life was about to come to an end. 10 standard. Farewell. Board exams. We had memories, like playing cricket after Viva right opposite School in Golf Club. Remember Rahil Shaikh? Yes, So he was batting and I was bowling and he was out twice but he denied to leave the bat. So imagine,boys in summer playing gully cricket after school exams, using 3 stones as stumps and a stone marking the bowlers end. For the final delivery, I stepped back aimed at one of the stump, he swung his bat, missed, and the bowl hit one of the stump causing the sand to mix with air! And we laughed hard at him and Me and Harman gave a high five in the air, because we were more happy looking at his expressions. But after all to let you know, Rahil has become one of a gem person. After years when I met him, I was happy to see the Man he has become.
So here it was. End of School days and we were merely friends. So we joined in different colleges. Months later we contacted each other and rest of the pantars and started playing cricket. We joined a summer cricket camp together. So IPL ka season chalu tha and last match m Chris gayle ne ek wicket liya tha, and before taking the wicket he looked at the batsmen and did a impression as below
So we were bowling for hours, and the batsmen was a Ranji Team A Player. After more 3 over when we exhausted, I took my normal 17 foot long run up looked at harman and marked the same signature as Chris gayle and laughed and started fuming in, bowled the bowl and WTF! He was clean bowled! We looked at each other and laughed and we both knew it was something we will remember.
After A year, Friend became Family. We spend time in each other house. The fact was we both looked alike so no one figured out that we are not from the same bloodline. So are our sister, they both are identical to each other. We four became a clan. Jab bhi ham charo sath m baith teh, we use to laugh like hell! Talking about school and family, shit even thinking about it right now hits differently. We four watched Horror Movies together. Navneet Didi is buddhi among us 4 and Priya is the youngest bacha. We two harami are of same age. So whenever we watched horror movie, never I missed a chance to scare Navneet didi and Harman use to go after Priya. And Navneet didi and Priya started to sit closer togerther 😂😂😂😂
This is our CLAN 💗
We four are FAMILY. We cry, laugh and share a emotion. So his friends became my friends. The gang includes Prabjot, Honey and few more. So we only drink very occasionally, and months later we came to know ki Prabjot is leaving for Australia. This was my first epic drink. We enjoyed the afternoon. And had drink till we all were passed out. There are 100 moments ush din k but sab bata diya toh milke batane k liye kya bachega. But that day jo pagal panti ki, only boys can understand, dance, hangover videos 😂😂, and then finally lemon to neutralize everyting 😂, police s bachna, and ghar p bina pata chale chup chap sojana. What? Aah gai apni stories yaad?
So year later when I was in my first year, all of a sudden Harman was supposed to go Punjab for his career for few months. Harman jo hai voh Jaan hai jaha bhi voh Saas leta hai, So seeing him go was hard. Toh we all surprised him in his house, Me and all his other friend with cake. And We laughed and then cried hugging him. He cried too and then jokingly said, "Mar thodhi na raha hu bsdk logo😂😂😂". He sat inside the cab to catch his flight and as he left, I hugged Navneet Didi Tightly and we cried because woh Jaan hai hamari.
By the time he could come back, I had a family crisis so I had to shift again to Delhi. It was so sudden that I could not meet anyone. We had shifted all in just few days. So I could not get the good bye I wanted. So months later as we settled down. I booked a emergency waiting train ticket, a 24+ hour journey and gave that Kamina Surprise. 2 Days, is all I spent. Imagine a boy, who do not make friends, shifts every 2-3 years, and can hardly count on any other, yes that is Me. Seriously, tying that moment is hard. But this picture is enough.
And I got another special one, the time when Prabjot was about to go and a day before it was just US 3.
So I went back home. Jab Nashik m bhi tha we were not those kind of friend jo har din milte teh but jab bhi milte teh Dil se milte teh. But abh to sal gujjar gaye after coming to Delhi. I had to again start my first year in a new college. So I had my first heartbreak. Yes, yes sab ka hotha. So m aur harman late night call kiye. Hamare bich m baat kuch eseh start hothi thi ki problem aur dard mujhe hotha tha but call rakte time m useh kehta tha ki Bhai chinta maat kar sab sahi ho jai ga..😂😂😂 And same, jab usse problem aur dard hotha tha to call rakte time use mujhko kehna padta tha ki Bhai chinta maat kar sab sahi ho jai ga..😂😂😂
So more than 2 years passed, ham hardly ish span m baat karte teh, birthday and jab lagta tab bss. So during my 2nd year, voh family k sath Punjab ja raha tha and uski train Delhi hoke jati, So I met went to platform to meet him once. Why? Because, for me in life if you are are a part of my life, I will never let you feel alone till I can because I exactly know how it feels.
So we hugged. And yes I miss that Harami Bhai right now writing this, and ye padke woh royega. Hold on brother, save it for later.
Then may be by the end start of 3rd year he shifted to Canada and the time he gave me this news I was happiest, more than anything. So jaha bss states ka difference tha now it is Nations. In figures, 1253 Km are converted to 10,570 Km.
We started to play PUBG and jo kehla hai bhai. Raat raat bhar, uske udhar subha hothi thi. There was a time jaha ham PUBG ranking k liye nahi bss maze k liye kehlte teh. Toh PUBG m hamari team thi Me, Harman, Prabjot and Honey. Hamh sath m utar te teh. Coincidentally m 2-3 bar vohi ghar m enter kiya uttar te hi in which voh loot kar raha tha, uske badh jo uska dimaag kharab hua😂😂😂😂😂😂 Galti se start hua tha baat badh m jo mazza ayya jan puch k karne 😂😂😂
Then PUBG bhi band hogaya and hardly month m baat hothi thi. 1 year more finally hamh mille this Jan 2020, this is our last pic together
On my left is Navjot. Who is he, Iske liye Alag se puri ek khani likhi janni hai. Dono Bhai hai, Jaan hai,
So Meri and Harman ki story, and tale itte hai jitte apke phone m battery back up nahi. Time atta jatta rahega but some things are permanent. In our both lives many temporary people came saying they will be permanent but they all left and who always stood was WE BOTH and that is what BROTHERS DO.
I have made mistake of fighting with him when all he wanted to do was to make me understand that some people are not good for me. I ignored him for those people. Guess what where are those people? Who is still with me. So now anyone, my friend, family or the love of my life or anyone asks me why do you care for him or get aggressive when some one say anything against him, My only feeling is
I do not know about others but when I say brother, a blood line does not defines anything. So Bhai if you read this far, take care, dhyaan rakh apna till we meet next time.
