Aditya , Adi, Sopa, Adu….as many sides to this unique personality as are the names . A multi-starrer all-in-one truly!
My first impression of Adi was a curt and smart individual. Serious about his work and impatient about others’ ;-) I remember, his comment on an urgent personal leave that I had had to take: “usko bol ghar pe baith”! lol!
Legendary is his impatience towards leaves, sloppy work and incompetence. Some would mistake it as purposeful rudeness, but Adi is a perfectionist in everything he touches and therefore just doesn’t understand half-baked efforts! I have never seen him taking unplanned leaves, shying away from work, citing excuses.
He is 200 % committed to what he does and unsurprisingly churns out excellent results. Be it developing 6 portals in 6 months ( an unparalleled work achievement ) , a write-up or blog , cricket coaching & cricket leagues , a dance or skit , his Baba’s book and book launch , his dear bro’s wedding ……name it and he has done it ! And at its unparalleled best too!
Aditya has many skills up his sleeve, though he is too private a person to flaunt things on his sleeve ;-) His firm and no-nonsense demeanor belies the amazingly light and witty side of him. His quick sense of humour and absolute command over the alphabet enables him to brew heady concoctions of idle humour and truly jeweled write-ups/blogs. Writing really defines him, draws out the passion in him and I really wish he would publish books upon books of his jewels for poor ,letter-hungry souls like me! He is an awesome singer too, though it would be hard to believe considering the eerie voice he emanates when he is angry! I , for one, surely prefer even Himmesh Reshammiya over that !And that’s not because of only the pitch, mind you ;-) …but when he is on ground zero , he can mesmerize you with his magical voice ….especially if it’s a Kishore da song or an Amitabh rendition…this person can eat, drink and bathe in Kishore !
Though he keeps insisting that he hates dancing, we have off-late realised he is an awesome dancer too. Agreed it would take no less than an Amjad Khan to make him shake his firmly grounded ( or is it buried ?) leg …but once he does grudgingly agree , he transforms in a Shahid of sorts ;-)..He sure does prefer acting more than having to move ( work smart and not hard ! ) and his acting skills have helped him out of tight spots …(or should I say moves ? ) more than once …And as his cute wife insists ….”he is handsome too” ;-) thereby becoming a killer package on-stage !
His intoxication with gymming and wanting to be in perfect health is contagious..No one would say he is turning 40 today ! Ruthless exercise and sensible diet keeps him young and fresh …raring to go ! Its commendable how he has managed to look years younger by most his age ! Any discussion around exercise and diet has to have Adi’s strict and experience-leaden retorts …it’s a pleasure to hear it from the horse’s mouth, though he does kick at times for sloppy regimes ;-)
Adi is a genuine person , a warm friend , a loving family-man …With his close ones ,he is straight-forward in his views and is never bogged down by the need to “look-good” …he doesn’t bother about perception and resulting impact in his inner circle…One can trust his every word and feeling to be down-right genuine therefore…He is dependable , always there when you really need him and has the sense to be in back-ground quietly supporting….He expects no gratitude , no thankfulness for his support and has an amazing selfless capability to not define relations…he just is there ..for whoever needs him…( though with his love for clichés, I am sure to find zero support and lots of kicks for this extravagant appreciation ;-)
His tough exterior and genuine efforts to shape others’ do trigger mis-leading perceptions about him at times..But the adi that we know is genuine, hard-working, capable of wonders, affectionate and selfless. He never gives away his inner turmoils, stands proud and strong and always manages to produce that extra ounce of strength for one to lean on… Adi rarely blames people or circumstances for any so-called failure …He is ruthlessly self-critical and that keep him on his toes ..Improving ,excelling all the while.
At this important (inconsequential he would say as he doesn’t believe in celebrating specific days) juncture of his life, I urge him to be proud of his capabilities...proud of his achievements …and believe in himself…I wish him all the success for his sure-to-be achievements ….We all would be always there to support and applaud you….And I truly thank him…for everything that he has been and will be ..for all of us around …wish you a great life of success, peace and joy :-) ..Happy Birthday !!
