I'll try and narrate some instances which happened after I had passed out and
he was in 12'th standard.
At that time 1994-95 the school principal was Dr. R.D Thakur and one fine morning Mohit told us that he didnt have to goto school for 3 days. Well as any parent would my parents asked him what was the reason for not going to the school for 3 days and he started giving different reasons starting with that its better to study at home for the exams than go to school where most of the students are taking time off to study for their exams to being unwell. After a lot of coaxing we found out that there had been an event in the school where one of the 12'th class student has been roughed up by a group of students due to which they had been suspended from the school. Mohit was also one of them to be suspended. The others were, if I remember correctly, Piyush and Ankush. Well then all the deliberations started to happen and all the parents reached the school and met the Principal. He was detailed on the reasons and the sequence of events after it was found that the reasons for Mohit and his friends to retaliate were justified but the way in which they did was not so finally they all patched up with the so called "victim", the name of whom I know but is being withheld and all of them resumed school.
Well people would start to think Mohit was notorious and I dont admonish them for thining that way. I and most of his friends would agree that Mohit was notoriously just and hot blooded. He wouldnt tolerate people throwing weight around and bullying people in the school. This is also one of the reasons he had almost the entire school knowing him and considering him as their friend.
It obviously makes it all the more reasons for all the teachers at that time teaching in the school to remember so called "notorious" guys like him and some of them are serving in the school even today in various capacities.
I remember a very funny school episode. The movie "Pelican Brief" was released that time and I went to see the movie. It went above my head and I was telling this to Mohit "pata nahin chala pelican brief kya tha " .Prompt came the reply "Hoga kisi pelican naam ke aadmi ka kaccha" :)))))) and needless to say all present there burst out laughing.
ReplyDeleteMadhur Bhaiya ,I can remember well the Mohit could not bear anybody troubling his friends.I hv experienced it myself many a times.At times I preferred not to disclose things to him.He was just not hot blooded,notorious but a very sweet ,kind & caring friend/brother too .
ReplyDeleteOne fine day during our lunch break we were outside physics lab & I just happened to tell him that one of our classmate was unnecessarily troubling.He didnt even listen the entire thing & I realised that he walked off without uttering a word towards a broken chair.Till then couldnt imagine what was in his head but was shocked to see him action.He actually threw the chair on that person who was really a nuisance.Thankfully it didnt hurt him & the matter got sorted out fast.
