I have always wanted to write this post but could never frame a mindset for this. But today, if I don't write this... that would be unfair because the person about whom I am going to write actually deserves a special space in my blog!
Niraj and I started as colleagues being in the same project team where I could never have had much interaction with him. I don't really know what actually forbade me to mix with him... may be his seriousness. I would always find him lost in his system. If at all we meet at team parties and all, there also he would be silent mostly. In short, the first impression I had about him is, he is a very serious guy!
I discovered more of him when my cubical changed and I was allotted a seat facing him. Initial days were horrible for me...people around me did not talk only... all were serious... all hooked to their systems. The only sound that one could hear was mine and my cubical partner :P By that time, I think I have seen Niraj smiling once or twice which at least cleared my doubt that he is always serious. Mine and my cubical partner's arguments were always a source of entertainment for everyone around that vicinity... Niraj being one of them! In fact, he was our most potential audience then. If we won't shout, he would be bored.... if we are not present, he would miss us... and if at all we do argue over something, he would encourage us by all possible means. All that only means, he was so connected to all those situations ;) By this time, I was dead sure that my first impression of him was all wrong. He is not those serious kinds of guys rather a happy-go-lucky kind of. He works only when he loves to because then only he enjoys. If he is not enjoying, you won't find him at the desk only :)
Interacting with him more, I knew a lot more of him. He has an amazing sense of humor which can make one absolutely roll on the floor. His punches are so well timed that one cannot help bursting out of laughter. I remember, we have had days when we didn't feel like working and Niraj helped us a lot then. With his talks, tine fall short!
Now that he has left the office, it has become boring quite a lot. We don't feel like arguing... the seriousness is back... no much comic punches we ever hear and many more! Yet life moves on and I am really glad that I could meet one of the most wonderful persons ever! Now also when we meet online, he is always ready with the bag of punches and would make me laugh laugh and laugh. What I like in him is his confidence, his easy and cheerful attitude. Anyone can do the work but having the guts of doing only what one enjoys is tough. But he is the sole bearer of this quality. Adorned with many more such uncommon traits, this person is really special and I am really happy to have shared some of my funny moments with him!
I have written almost a story but then also I don't feel satisfied with my writing when it comes to Niraj. He has been encouraging me consistently in writing and it seems I am a bit nervous thinking, how this one would go. I know I won't be able to sum up him my words but then, I have tried my level best to make this post a special one... for a special person... on a special day!
A few words for you :
Happy Birthday, Niraj!

A few words for you :
Because today's so special
It really wouldn't do,
To send one simple birthday wish
To last the whole year through.
So this wishes happy moments...
A day when dreams come true,
And a year that's filled with all the things,
That means the most to you!
