K for 'Hondya'

    
His name is Ketan.He is however known by his nickname 'Hondya' (courtesy to the 'thick' layer of hair all over his body like Anil Kapoor).
He is a sincere and industrious student who takes every piece of work seriously.And as you would have guessed by now he does accomplish every task assigned to him more than successfully.He stood 20th in the merit list in the SSC exams.He had a very good score in the HSC exams as well.He is successful at whatever he does. He is one of the few 9 pointers in our class. He is awarded the JRD Tata scholarship every year.But he is not proud of these feats (atleast he doesnt show his pride).
     If you need some info regarding anything then he is the right person. Its not that he knows everything but whatever info he has, you can rest assured that it is authentic (unless he says otherwise). If you need any advice or idea about something then you can approach him.He will tell you what he thinks to be right and will give the reasons for him to think so He is quiet by nature but occasionally cracks good jokes.And above all……..he doesn’t lose his temper.He is a perfect example of the saying ‘anger is the acid which does more harm to the vessel in which it is kept than in which it is poured’.
    
    Ok.Now its time for some fun.
    Now that you know he is hairy,do you know that he has got a scary amount of hair on his back too??? It actually peeps out from underneath his T shirt sometimes.He has got a slight paunch (when I say slight it actually means more than slight).He keeps a moustache which actually makes him look twice as old as he is.(ie in the 40s).Infact once during his schooldays he was asked by a conductor about the number of times he has failed in school (mind it that he stood first from 5th to 9th).He tries to lose weight but the poor fellow only manages to gain some.He makes a hand gesture which is unique to him when he speaks enthusistically.He claims that he doesn’t view adult content although he has set a related site as his homepage.
But how does he interact with me??? An excerpt from our conversation
I: ketan,do you have this book? (book on some technical sub)
K: yes i do
I: so do you mind giving it to me for a few days?
K: why do you need it? What will you do with it?
I: (flummoxed)(what can a person do with a book apart from reading it) I need to study from it.
K: (burst out laughing)
I: what happened? What made you laugh so much?
K: nothing…….i could never imagine you reading a book………so when you said that you would read it i thought it was the biggest joke I have ever heard.

This is one of the many times he has humiliated me. He believes that I am an ill-informed, almost illiterate, useless, insignificant loser. (For any more of such adjectives you can ask him). And as I have said he is a person who puts his thoughts into action and so he ill-treats me accordingly. He treats people of his calibre very well, very politely.
    But I still like him.I still admire him.And there is no law which states that admiration has to be mutual. I am waiting for that day to arrive when he realizes that every person should be treated with equal respect be he a winner or a loser.
