This blog post i dedicate to the love of my life Rakesh Kamal, however cliched as it may sound. I know so far i have posted my thoughts on various issues in the society as a whole. For a change i thought i would tell you ( who ever is reading it!) about Rakesh who changed my life.. and for the better.. If i can discuss issues with so much clarity its because of the clarity Rak helped me attain in my life..
We met each other at AIESEC on Sept 10 over 3 years ago.... the first thing that struck my mind when i saw this chap was as he introduced himself as 'romantic rakesh' was 'Oh really!!'. As we got to know each other.. we realised that we had a hell lot in common...it was uncanny and spooky at some instances the way we just liked the same things or said the same things at the same time..the way we reacted to situations was identical... And well one thing led to another and we r here today where we are.. :)
Rakesh is one person who has an air of positivity around him.. he is unshakeable... his belief in things and his positive attitude is unshakeable. And for a person like me who finds trusting people ( read men) difficult and someone who found life,until 3 years ago, highly unfair, meeting and interacting with rakesh was very different... Unknowingly he had started to infuse in me a sense of positivity..apart from helping me build my self esteem.. hard as it might seem to believe..the confident priya today back then was someone who was going through too many things at the same time in her life.. from a bad break up to a myriad of issues..life seemed too difficult to even live.. people whom i considered as best friends were going thru phases themselves... and at the time Rakesh showed me a way out.... he had a solution for every problem... whether it be the problem of generation gap that i seemed to face with my father to the difference in opinion at college..to peer pressure... every problem had a solution.. and he taught me to face them all with a smile.. Insecurity was probably my biggest enemy then.. confidence was low.. and i never told anyone that i had always dreamt of being a journalist for The Hindu except for rakesh...only coz i feared being ridiculed..
These 3 years rakesh has been the strongest pillar of strenght in my life... if i m not drowning in self pity today its because of the rakesh's strong words... there have also been times when he has tried hard to protect me...pave the way for me... but then some things need to be learnt through experience... He held my hand and helped me cross the toughest of hurdles...kissed my forehead and helped me get better tat day when i thought i was dying... Not just for me..but he has been there for my family... and well there is no way i can say thanks to this chap.. he has a beautiful soul..a soul that i am lucky to be sharing.. for a wounded soul like mine...his soul is like a soothing medicine.. :) Sometimes just saying I love u is not enough.. Sometimes some people just come straight out of nowhere and change ur life forever...... so much that u cant believe that ur life was once so frustrating...so much that u look back at ur old self and smile now... the change wouldnt have happened if Rakesh wasnt there in my life... Am a romantic.. and i truly believe love has the power of all.... :) I love u a lot...and u make my complete!!! :)
