Ye duniya

Follow us:WhatsappFacebookTwitterTelegram.cls-1{fill:#4d4d4d;}.cls-2{fill:#fff;}Google NewsIt was about 3pm. Had just come out of the recording studio. Swanand Kirkire and Shantanu Moitra were recording a song for us for 15th august.Since the last 3-4hours I was inside the studio where there was no mobile network. Suddenly my mobile beeps and got a sms.....Our camerman Sudhir Sawant expired last night.Everyone in office was going to his house by 13:30.Do join.....It was too late for me already. But what hit me hard was that I could not figure out who was Sidhir. How we looked? Who was this guy?I never worked with him? Or may be I know him by some other name? His nickname. As I travelled from Bandra to Lower Office and reached office, Sudhir sawant was still haunting me.

In Office also,there are only few of us by that time.Not everyone had returned from shoot or Sudhir's house.Asked few of my colleagues. But still my memory was blank. One of my colleagues described his features....thoda short height, chasma pehnta tha,pointed nose,OB par rehta tha zyadatar...i was still blank. Finally recognised him when I saw one of my colleagues was putting Sudhir's picture on his blog.

Oh!He is Sudhir!I finally recognised. I have seen him hundred times in the last few months since we all joined IBN last august.We never worked together for some reasons. May be because he was in news and I am with features. But we had smiled at ecah other whenever we crossed. The company is growing bigger by the day...so many channels,so many portals, so many people....I still dont know many, dont know their name.Know them by face. I guess Sudhir was one of them.

He had survived heart attacks earlier. Lost his wife few years back. Has daughter who is 7 years old. I know this man much better now than when he was alive. We are indeed running very fast. Dont have time for ourself,dont have time for friends and family members,dont have time to sit idle and chat a bit to figure out the other person. We search each other's names in google. We figure out friend's house on google map/wikimapia. Get to know about my friends flings on their blogs.

Where and why are we running? Or is it only me ?
Was Gurudutt absoultely right....ye duniya agar mil bhi jaye to kya hai ? Will I be able to stop running. Hope so. Now Deepak must be knowing.
