JMP was
a group that existed when I came to Delhi from Patna. It
influenced me positively and negatively. Similar to the previous group, it
also got its bad destiny. Like always, grouping started with taking cups of tea and ended in an abusive manner. Layering in the group began
with J, then M, and finally P but all are now on his track and they assume
that every one of this group pulled legs of each other.
Is it
possible? What do you say to such guys who mock, criticize, and insult
after breaking up of relationship?
It is
not a full-fledged story of the group, but it is only a narration that I felt.
The curious case of J.
J,
whom I met first time in the library. He sat left side of my seat regularly. He was so silent that he could not
disturb others. In a short while, he started talking with me, and we both
asked each other to take a cup of tea in the morning. This act took place
as a habit.
After
a while, he introduced me to Mr M and applauded his advantages as everyone does. I had no sense of man’s disadvantages
like anger, fabricated pride, selfishness, practicability, and different negative shades of emotion.
I
treated everyone whom I talked would be good. It was my phase of transition that was still to cover up. I
was fighting against the inbuilt idealism and a little amount had turned
away, but not completely.
A
group of four had created and included some grey and dark elements of friendships. We were friends or not, on my side,
skepticism got top preference.
Everything was good about J’s character except some fabricated confidence. In the beginning, he behaved
maturely but over the time his real colour began flourishing. On every
alternate day, he got angry and threatened to beat, harassed aggressively.
We all ignored these acts. These were extremely bad manners but one thing
I will never forget about him that he respected by his heart and invited
all of us at the weekend for dinner.
I have no hesitation to say that he belonged to an economically backward class and his brother was not under family
discipline. He had lost his father
at an early age. It was a big shock for me too when I listened to.
The only
source of his income was his mother’s private job in Bihar. He was
struggling in Delhi for everything but was confident to get a job and hopeful for good.
Days
were rolling well and suddenly we got the news of his mother’s accident. She went into a coma. Thousands of Rupees
expensed on her treatment but there was no improvement.
He along with his
mother moved to Delhi for better treatment. Bundle of Rupee was being
again soaked by the hospital but still no change in her deep
unconsciousness. The doctor in Delhi discharged her, said to believe in God, and
go home for natural improvement.
After a couple of
months, hope and devotion in nature brought happiness. His mother’s
recovery progressed; legs and hands began moving; in a while, sounds
started coming out and both he and his mother got engaged after a long
period.
It was
the moment of a tryst with destiny. He again came on track with great hope, but in a short time, another unexpected
incident happened and his mother’s leg got fractured. Again one-fourth million
Rupees were exhausted on treatment without any source of income.
It was
one of the biggest socking moments again in his life. Tragedy over tragedy
was being grown up but he was still in confidence. Many people could be
collapsed but he successfully arranged his mother's treatment and set an
example for motivation.
People
mocked him for his personal life, living standard, language skills, and his
wrongdoing but I think it should have not been done by them
because these were the external parts of life and these would be changed. People should have thought about his calibre that how
a 24-year-old lower-middle-class boy who triumphally took care of
his mother and sustained in society and also carried on his track without any
source of income, family background, and any
support by friends.
After
all, no one knows what God wants? Legend says that tragedy, failure,
and adversity makes man mature and provides a different way to propagate life but how much amount of these misfortunes should
be?
Can
above heartbreaks be justified for J? You can judge but the one who could fight
is the only one warrior.
How much ₹20 does matter?
Can a
little money imbalance humans’ precious emotional, psychological,
social, and heart-bound relationships? Yes, for some, and no, for others.
But,
it matters more if you know a person for months, spending
time regularly, taking 2-3 cups of tea in a day together, eating at one
place in the weekend, reading daily in the same library and you act immaturely
for a little amount of money, then the act will be unethical.
Knowing to everyone, human nature instructs man to act, and it also
justifies how ethical human action is? As per the scholars, human nature is unpredictable. Different men can behave differently in a
situation like Mr M behaved for ₹20.
Mr M was
a good guy. He was not associated with any mischief. He was from different
background so I was never interested to talk to him. Unwillingly I talked on
the saying of J, and due to my weakness of emotionality, I got engaged and fell in the
illusion of friendship.
On the
republic day, we all, a group of four, were going to a temple. We were happy, smiling, humouring, and enjoying the
moment. But, on the way, with an act of Mr M, the enjoyment and the
pleasure had fragmented by the hammer of less worth ₹20. This
₹20 broke my trust and the illusion of friendship.
Mr M had acted frustratedly, aguishly, and heartlessly on paying only ₹20 more to auto-rickshaw. I do not know even today why he did so.
I had
lots of respect for him. I called him with Ji, preferred his arguments, and saw him as a
reputed person, but on that day, I experienced a different personality on his face that had been veiling by him, after that,
our communication had derailed.
One
day, after 8 months of the incident, I was summing up my life events
and apprehended that when I stopped talking, why I should not initiate to bridge the gap? I felt that it was a pang of moral
guilt. So I made a call to him, but he even did not respond. I got
neglected, but I was happy because a person of such principles was out of
my niche, and the burden of the guilt had doomed.
Why I did not react against P?
P is
the final character of this group. When I remind his mischief, I think, I should have punched on his face but I did not
so.
I had
broken communication with each-other after the incidence of ₹20. In a long while, almost 10 months later, I made
a call to him on the suggestion of
a friend because I knew to date that he was a good and genius guy. He responded in a good manner but in a little while,
he started mocking me that I…I... made a call to him. I ignored it because
it had no worth for me and I took it humorously, but it was probably the
first of my mistakes.
He
began increasing his circumference and approached many of my current and previous friends. He said to them to insult me
that everyone has left him; no one likes to talk with him; all his friends
hate him etcetera. I still snubbed and it was my 2nd mistake.
Now he
slandered me that I did not have any knowledge of anything. I
thought that he had got delusion of superiority and perhaps he would pay for it. I again ignored it.
In
every meeting with my previously known person, he insulted me that I made a call but he did not want to talk with
me. Was it fair? If he did not want to talk, he should have denied
directly, but he did not, and in my absence, he always pronounced these words
repeatedly. All, who presented there, laughed and enjoyed on my
insult.
Every
micro event, everyone erased, but he kept in mind and uttered it to disparage me. One day he came to my room and
voiced such defamatory words for only ₹500 (For kind information: I had
informed him 2-3 times to return, but he did not come.) that anyone would
clout him but I did nothing but considered.
It was
my final mistake with him. I never countered and gave reactions to his deeds. If I want I could have thrashed him
mercilessly, but my mind always pictured his parents who invited me for
dinner one night on his behalf.
Many
days I thought that I should have asked why you did so. My blood boiled
frequently to take revenge violently but I always stopped myself because I
spent much time with him in laughing, humouring, enjoying, taking cups of
tea, and wandering that discontinued my violent feeling and felt me calm.
Sometimes, giving reaction is the need of the hour. He always said that everyone left me, and felt pride. I ignored on
many occasions but acted in response at once: People are left; marriages
are broken; parents are gone away, divorce happens, widow remarriages and
many leave even after 6 years because time, thinking, need, and preference
is changed and friendship consists of no meaning for people like P.
It
happens, always happens, and happens every time. Today is me, and tomorrow
will be other, but it will happen. No one should be mocked on this ground. It was I who respected you but it will not be
always for you P.
