I have/`had` a friendin Chandigarh. Verytalented and tech savy. I alwaysfelt myself proud of being his friend. I used to learn many things related to computer and Internet and even the share market.
But, you can not predict what may happen with you the very next moment.
One unfortunate daythe friendship bond was `snapped` in a single moment some four months ago.
I have my laptop and needed a printer, even a second hand printer. As he always believed in adding more gadgets preferably the advanced one, acquired an advanced Fax, printer,scanner and copier all in one. Now, it was possible for him to oblise me by selling his old Epson printer for just Rs 500 with even an additional catridge.
I was indeed happy. But, it malfunctioned. He came to me and rectified the problem. I was happy again. But after some one month or so it again developed a similar snag. This time, it could not be rectified. I kept quite and started thinking of getting it repaired outside. But it was around Rs 500 for repairing. So I thought to leave it.
In between, I thought to consult some of my other friends who could lend me some expertise in electronics field.
That was the worst thing I did.
My friend,thought that I was saying some negative things against him as if he deceived me!!
He called me and told to return the printer. I thought, he is asking to get that repaired at some sources ,cheaply.
But, he returned me Rs 300 and said that my full money was `refunded`.I was taken aback, but prefered to keep quite.
Next day onward, he started avoiding me,even the eye contact. I felt bad. But I thought that let us give him some time to settle down. But nothing positive happened.
He never said `good morning` whenever he `accidently` came in front of me. I also did not initiate as I also had some `ego` of being much senior to him in service lengh, though we hold the same rank in IAF.
Meanwhile, I thought, ``He is/was my friend and has never deceived me. Also at the moment he is just fine `hating` me. Once he is happy and comfortable doing so(though I am strictly not), let him hate me and be happy.`` After all,I would be happy if my friends are happy.
Right now, I am also getting `accustomed ` and feel `better`.
Not everyone gets every thing in his life... Lol.
