I can sum up life in three words.. "It goes on"

I was reading this book... lying on this comfy bed.... in the deluxe room ....of Sancheti Hospital!!!!
Yes..Sancheti Hospital in Pune...

28th Feb 2003... Fergusson College, Pune..Dept. of Computer Science.. afternoon 3:00 PM...I go to meet Diya in the Electronics department...
She says "Faiyaz, tomorrow is Science Day. We have a "Radio Telescopes" exhibition at Khodad. Me and Amol are going to be volunteers there. Do you want to come, it will be fun?".
I said "hmm.. will try".
She looked at me and gave me a requesting look ..almost saying.. "Please come...there are not many places in pune where we can be alone, hold hands.. and be together"...
Frankly I was dying to go and see Diya!!!

I call up Ashmit asking him to come with me to Khodad. Ashmit is a very old friend of mine (he is of my age...we know each other since 11th..hence old!!!) and a common friend to me and Diya. He said he has cold and a mild fever and would not come.. I insisted and he said "yes".. I was happy we are finally going ....to meet Diya...oops!! to see the exhibition..

1st March 2003.. Naziya, my sister's b'day... I get up at 8 and get ready... wish her, give her the gift i had got for her and drive my Pulsar 150cc (kick start!!) to Ashmit's place. Ashmit was late as usual... he was unwilling to go... he was not feeling well...
i said.. "lets go man cmon..its only 80 KM from here and we will be back by Afternoon... today is India-Pakistan World Cup Match... We will not miss that .. Sachin Tendulkar is surely gonna kick some pakistani a**".
"OK ok "
Reluctantly he came.. i asked him
"where is your helmet"...
"its ok man dont worry.. U have your helmet... dont worry about me"
And off we go ... Diya ... I am coming !!!....

Khodad is 80 KM from pune towards Nashik. Me and my MCS colleague had gone to Nashik in the last week on the same bike. So i knew the road pretty well (atleast i thought so!!). So we filled up the tank on the way and cruised on the Pune Nashik Highway. At about 10 I thought lets take a break and have a smoke... A maruti 800 was ahead of me and the bugger was driving too slow...i thought i will overtake it and then take a stop at the next pan tapri.. I took my bike slight towards the right to overtake and.............

11 Days have passed...

I am reading this book...lying on this comfy bed ... just out of the ICU... after 2 critical operations on my right leg....in the deluxe room of Sancheti Hostpital.... Diya is sitting right next to me... tiny droplets in her beautiful black eyes....

6 Years have passed ...

I have no problems with the leg now... I can ride.. I can drive.. I am married.... I am in Pune...
Diya is married too... She is in the US... has a 3 year old kid.
Ashmit is married too ... He is in Mumbai....

I can sum up life in three words... "It goes on"
