A story of the failure of my unfortunate friend Srikanth’s life. Not everyone realizes that the joy that comes from failure is an extreme level of spirituality.
I have written many novels in my life, but the one that has left a deep impression on me is Srikanth by Saratchandra. Which was originally divided into three or four volumes and I have read all the volumes and I have enjoyed them very much. That novel had a character named Srikanth who I found very similar to a friend of mine. I don’t know why. People with this name are very similar in nature and their minds are very simple. This character in the novel was very right-wing but he was benevolent. But in the end the character named Srikanth was lost. About whom I am going to write this article today, he is none other than a friend of mine from college life, his name was Srikanth. Although I said that he was a friend of my college life, I did not meet him in college, I used to go to private tuition in one place where I met him for my first time. Although I don’t like to talk a lot, I can’t say why the boy’s character particularly attracted me, but there was a certain simplicity in his character that I was impressed by and accepted him as a friend. Coming from a very ordinary family, this boy had a brilliance but nothing that could identify him from 10 different people. We spent those days of college life very happily, maybe the main reason for our happiness was that there was no difference between us. Each of us was deeply in touch with each other and Srikanth was one of our circle of friends.
Today we all entered the workplace having passed those golden days of the past but never forgot those days maybe never will because those days were totally pure and wonderful moments. After college life, I entered the workplace, many friends have come or gone in life but I could not forget that friend, so I started to find out what is the current status of my friend Shrikant. After much searching I found his address and contacted him. I didn’t recognize him when I first saw him because it seems like his life has changed a lot in this decade. There is a radical change in his appearance. He seemed much older than his age and I realized that his financial problems had taken a toll on him. When we spoke almost a decade later, I found him very happy, he spoke to me with soul and I opened my soul as if I was spending our past days with him.. I realized that he no longer believes in the love thing, he has gone far away from it all. So when any question about love or marriage comes up he doesn’t want to answer he wants to avoid it so I deliberately don’t want to talk about these things anymore because I should never bring up any thing that my friend gets hurt. At present he is living a kind of jobless life as he is involved in a few farming activities, his life has gone by no means unmarried single person and he looks very much like an old man. I realized that there are many diseases in the body. In an economic crisis with nothing to do, any person should be in such a situation. I had many friends in my college life and later on I have many friends but I don’t remember many of them anymore but I don’t know why I had a special kind of respect for this friend even before and still have it so I was suffering from his sorrow myself. But amazingly he has no complaint against anyone and has no interest in anyone, that is why I am attracted to him again and again. In fact, if anyone has no complaint against anyone who has been hurt by this situation or fate, he must understand that his soul is connected with God.. Otherwise, a person cannot live in such a simple way. I really have a lot to learn from him.
I have said before that what hurts a man the most is the hidden ambition in his mind because of which he gets involved in new pride and if he doesn’t get it or if some situation is not what he expected then it creates pain in his mind which he doesn’t want to let stay all his life but I saw in the case of my friend Srikanth. My friend has no desire, no desire, life has exploited him as it will, but he has no complaints about life, fate never blames anyone, he has accepted these things because he may have thought that they were bound to happen to him, so there is no point in protesting. I should not have gone to help my friend financially when he came because I knew you and thought that maybe I was taking pity on him seeing his helpless condition so I never wanted to hurt my friend. That’s why I didn’t mention any of these things, I will try my best, maybe this will be my best gift of friendship to him..But I also know that I can do nothing for him because nothing can be done for a person who has removed all desires from worldly things because that person or that person’s body is in this world but his soul is in another world. That is to say, to do something for him, I have to enter that world and it is never possible for a lowly human like me to do anything for such a great soul, who is placed in a much higher seat than me in that spiritual world. However, I always wish God the best for him because that friend has suffered a lot..
There are many boys like Srikanta in the society who may be disappearing like this, no one even remembers them, maybe it is not possible to identify them separately. Even among ordinary men, their extraordinary qualities attract people like me, but I don’t know if people like me are of any use to all these great people, but those who have always thought of people and sacrificed themselves for people. Many storms have passed over this friend of mine, the society has exploited him in various ways, he has been used by the society as a reward, or he has not given anything to this world. I know that maybe this friend of mine will leave this world one day with a complaint in his heart. Maybe that special day I will not be able to be by his side, but I will try to be by his side as long as I live. The reason for this friend is that I am really suffering because at one time this friend helped many people, but today when he needs help, it is the most painful to think that there is no one by his side. But to survive in life sometimes we have to think about these people because when we are going through hardships these people’s faces come to mind and it seems that this person has suffered much more than me in life if he can live his life properly then why can’t I. You may read many novels in your life, you will witness many events, but remember this, not all events in life are success or failure, sometimes even hearing the story of failure brings a lot of joy to the heart, a lot of happiness is achieved. Thank you Srikanth Thank you very much.
