Ranjit – Victorious
Late post Alert////
Today’s gonna be a special post about a warrior, a survivor, and a king of hearts! Now you all must be thinking who is she talking about? Is it gonna be someone from the history, old times maybe! Is it a story from the past? I would say No! This is about present, someone from this era, an ordinary guy who earned this praise because of his kindness, by being who he is!
So I met this guy a few years back while being on the search for a job not that I knew that I would find not just a job but a friend I am gonna be with for the rest of my life. He was my buddy on-floor & off-floor who was constantly making me aware of things without making me feel dumb. In his language, he used to upgrade my modules & install some patches to protect my vulnerabilities. Ha hahaha! Yes, He is tech-savvy & a geek. An All-rounder for all your problems. N my savior for sure!!
Soon that I was enjoying the perks of being his friend I fell sick close to death in a way. I was not expecting this guy to sit beside me for hours & hours even after finishing his shift! watching me with prickling needles, drips, injections, and many more with sobby eyes. Picking me up from home dropping me off safely and getting home by midnight. Especially for someone whom you have just met a few days back. Post recovering from that tragic incident I was again unemployed. He still sticks by the whole phase searching for a job for me! But honestly, he wanted me back in the same workplace so he kept my system reserved by using his On-floor powers! Hhahahah! Yes, believe me, it’s true! A system beside his, hoping that I will get to join back. But that never really happened!
At times, when I have felt low without any solid reasons to explain it he would give me my Fixes- Sometimes it can be food, treats, a mic to sing hahaha, yeah he has done that too, a sketching set, a bundle of chocolates, a good series to keep me distracted, uploading a movie on G-drive which will keep me entertained for days and what not! Till today I don’t have any idea how he used to arrange it all with a low income! I understand people with big hearts manage it all but practically how I still think of it! For me His my Rich & Royal Sikh from both mind & heart! N now from pockets too! Hahaha!
In simple words, if I have to describe he is the most Humanitarian & generous person I crossed paths with in life till today. Same kind of madness as me. Pushing me to achieve my dreams and goals has been like his duty. I remember that I wanted to learn guitar at a stage when both of us didn’t have money to buy one. So he took on a freelancing project and made me work on it by his side so that we could have enough money for that fancy instrument. & Yeah just to let you guys know we earned more than enough money through that project. Woohoo we made it!
I would not miss mentioning his creative, artistic, elegant, and sophisticated side for sure! Yeah, he is a pretty fancy combo of stuff. I indeed wanted him to post some of his writings too on this site for people to know how inspiring of a writer he is! Let’s see if he wants to..Hahaha..
Kindness is humanity. Being kind puts you above any relationship may it be Love, friendship, or family. Hundreds of qualities he has makes him who he is! But typically 4 qualities of him that I would exclusively want to mention today.
1- He has never judged me for who I am & corrected me in person over food: You all must not know about me as a person but I am surely not an easy one to have around. I can be childish, an angry bird & impatient impulsive, sulky, moody person at times. Although these are just a few of my cons Hahaha! All I am trying to tell you guys is that I am not an easygoing person all the time! I do wrong things intentionally/unintentionally. But he has never judged me for any of it. He has smartly taken that opportunity to correct me in private by explaining how such behavior doesn’t suit a Queen. (Yeah I got that title from him). My love for Food has always been an advantage for him to have any complex discussions. Because food makes me soft & calm and happy and human.
2- Not losing patience with a nerd like me: someone who can be dead harsh, impulsive, moody, and loud while arguing. I wonder how he managed not to fight with me, not to raise his voice over me, calmly taking care of the disagreements. sometimes I wonder if he is a robot. I used to think he would hate this thing about me, but he has taken this too positively that I have a fighting spirit to stand for good, against injustice! I would fight for him too with people at times! And he would be happy about it.
3-You won’t tell I won’t ask, not pushing me in my vulnerable state: We all have this habit of instantly asking a person who is going through something – what happened, how it happened, who did it, why is it like that tell me now. It doesn’t go well with most of us. Like most of us, I don’t like to be questioned in my vulnerable state, I just want you to sit with me & make me calm that’s all. After that, I will figure it out on my own. But people have this habit of putting you on edge out of concern which backfires in some cases. But somehow he has from the very beginning decoded that about me. Whenever I am stuck he would patiently wait for me to speak on my own by not putting me on the edge.
4- Treat me well unconditionally no matter what I am without any expectations: Lately, I have not been good with my life situations. all kinds of lows. That is the reason for not posting for long. I do have plenty of time on my hands but my brain is numb most of the time. Anyway, no time for self-pity here. But yeah the intention is to say that I have not been myself lately. Have not called/texted him for days, not even picked up the calls but I have also never been scared that he would leave me off. Because I believe he understands me more than most of the people out there. So, he knows that this behavior is not because I take him for granted but the inability to function normally in my day-to-day life. sometimes I get super sentimental thinking how good he treats me 365 days unbiased of how my situation and behaviors keep changing. Sometimes I am all alive and cheerful calling him again and again whereas sometimes all dead with no voice & warmth. He doesn’t even let me come in between who he is for me. Not a single time he has complained about me not initiating the conversation or checking in on him when I have been ghosting because of my situation. In fact, he has asked if he has done something wrong which caused this ghosting behavior.
A true example of being with someone through thick & thin! If someone had been at his place they would have felt being used by now. But he takes it as a privilege to be there for me. In his language, he calls it a duty! Now it must be making sense why such heavy & hysterical words to describe him.
You’ve truly earned my friendship for life by being who you are! By being Rome- My own google. My first & last hop. My best admin ever!!
