Puneet Talwar calls himself "the one". Now although he bears no physical, mental or spiritual resemblance with one Mr. Andersen....he is nonetheless a very unique person and a very good friend. My first moment with the big guy was a pretty funny incident....Back while we were in class 10th Mr. Talwar(puneet's dad) had come to school and met our class teacher uccho. a.ka. chavanni....Now being one of my sanskrit teacher's favorite students, i was sent to meet with puneet's dad as he had certain questions about the school and its students....So i went up to Mr.Talwar...and the first words he told me was..."My son looks BIG". Although i did not see him that day the very words that uncle used made my imagination run wild. I also got to know that he had got a perfect 100 in maths....
Having a name called Talwar...pretty intimidating...
Having a name called Talwar and being humongous....a bit scary....
Having a name called Talwar, being humongous and also a topper in class now that scared the shit out of me!!!
I was indeed looking forward to meet him as i have a peculiar tendency of making good friends with people who are intelligent...
It was agreed that puneet would come to my house and take some class notes from me. It was about 7:30 in the evening that the Talwars came to our house. I ushered them into my house and i was surprised to see that Puneet had not come...instead his big brother had come. I was almost about to ask why puneet had not come but at that moment uncle introduced the big boy as puneet. For a moment or two, i was dumbstruck at the fact that such a huge person could be of my age (FYI puneet is two years older than me :))
The first words that came out of his mouth : "Maths ki book dhikha de". Without even an introduction of who he was or where he came from he started ordering me to show my notebooks in a gruff voice that i did not seem to comprehend....
The rest as they say is history......
Puneet has always been a good friend (although a bit selfish) His antics always make us laugh and his mannerisms are worth watching!!!!!
