The almighty had blessed this child with an athlete's build, and a scholar's mind. He just left it upto him to figure out how to use both of them together. The boy was brilliant, good at any sport he took interest in, mischevious to the limit, and always ready with the perfect
excuse... As he grew up, another aspect of his personality developed, his imagination, and his
ability to put his thoughts in words, and his words into action.
The child became a young man, his influence grew stronger each day on all whose lives he touched. He learnt of friendship, and gave it a meaning of his own. He learnt of persevereance
and made it a part of his own, but that didn't come easy.
There came a point where life became a big party. "he lost his way," some people might have said, but how untrue was that!Throughout college, this guy worked twice as hard, but partied ten times harder.Any group outing was just unimaginable without him, and so was any evening "debate" on the "playground"...
Everyone had alomsot written him off at the end of 4 years of college , but all this time, through all the ups and downs that life threw at him, this lad had nurtured a dream.He had taken a couple of shots at it, and reached further and further close to his goal each time. And then came the ultimate opportunity, Third time lucky they say, and he certainly was!
Last year, after we all had settled for our fates, he strode out to make his, and he earned his dream, he earned uniform, he earned the right to call himself a part of the Indian Army, and today he stands with us, not simply as our beloved friend Abhishek, but as Lt. Abhishek Lakhey.
Leave it to him, to make a regular Dinshaws Sundae seem like a treat from Heaven.Leave it to him to justify the most blatant cheat pulled off on a playing field ... (and later on in "other" dsicussion topics as well)
Leave it to him to sleep off full days at a stretch, just for the heck of it...
Leave it to him to invent the most outrageous cricket shots ... the paddle over the 'keeper while sitting cross-legged, the reverse pulls to name a few...
Leave it to him to come up with the most creative abuses in verbal quarrels...Leave it to him to spin a tale of a weekely holiday at his coaching classes, just because he found it boring...
Leave it to him to poke a prof's tummy and ask him to explain wt the experiment is all about (ofcourse, having mistaken the prof for a student)...
Leave it to him to never miss a chance to take a dig at Mayur...Leave it to him to play Computer games like a man possessed...
Leave it to him to be the most stubborn SOB on this planet...Leave it to him to be the most responsible and lionhearted friend...
Just leave it to him to demonstrate exactly what the hell will-power means.
This one's for you Abhi... Rock On!!
