TV

Gitu always had opinions about lots of folks in college and DS is sure that even today he must have maintained his opinion orientation intact. Gitu had opinion about DS that he wasn't  good with people. Good compared to people like Gitu!

DS, never denied that fact but never understood that what goodness Gitu meant. Gitu probably was too cozy with people but to what extent ? DS never knew!!

At the end of second year when NIMHANS training was signed up and Gitu wanted to use that slot for doing one particular course which coordinator[professor] of  training vehemently opposed, situation came down to a point when professor asked Gitu to get out of his office. DS sat quietly looking at professor who took his time to cool down! Professor then asked a question to DS, Does he know how to be good with people and behave ? ....Sigh .. how could have DS told him that at least Gitu does think so !!

Anyway, one day DS went to one particular hostel to watch TV and found Gitu and Shaha (Gitu's chaddi's Chit friend) wrestling on the floor in TV room. There were some folks who did notice but never went to separate them. On asking DS, came to know that Gitu and Shaha being practicing wrestling there since they joined that hostel. And of course that didn't demand any attention.

Vow! ... so what was something called being good with people ? ....

To find the root cause, DS once inquired Shaha that what made him so close and personal with Gitu that day ?  ... Replied Shaha, ... He was watching football and Gitu came to TV room. Gitu wanted to change channel which Shaha objected. On further pestering from Gitu, Shaha allowed him to change after the corner. And just when player came to hit the ball to take cornor, Gitu changed the channel.

DS understood now that how Gitu was so good with people. Even after a  decade, it feels good to admire, Gitu's good humour and relationship building activities.
