Singh Is King

Harmeet Singh, one of Computer Teachers, who took me to the world of technology and taught me the basics of computers and Hindi Typing and www surfing suddenly left the campus. The headmaster was angry with me as I have dropped him to the nearest bus stop without any bias or query. I have not asked whether he is leaving forever or going on short leave.

He is a jolly person and frequently enters my kitchen. My father doesn’t like any outsider entering into my kitchen. He does not like food cooked by wife as there is no onion or garlic in it. He requested me to go to Dhaba outside and have some food with sufficient no of onion which is freely available with your lunch order. I was thinking today also he wants to go to the Dhaba. He was carrying a small box and he has collected a lot of information and useful documents with him in small pen drives.

After a decade, I got a Facebook friend request from Harmeet Singh. I happily got connected. We started recollecting our old memories. He gave me the sad news of his brother's death. His brother was a jolly person too. He visited us during Harmeet Singh's stay at Balipara. He is no more. Sad news shared by his brother. Singh is in the USA and I am in India but we are very close and community in the same way like Vikas and Jyoti.

Even my wife is fully engrossed in mobile, TV serials, Face book and staff. She will surf very fast. Singh is very far but close to me. My wife is sitting next to me but very far, updating her status over facebook, whatsapp or TikTok. Technology is very close to me but our own are very far due to this.
