THE ART OF BEING NUMBER ONE

           It’s such a cold morning, may be the coldest day of December in Delhi.Trees’re almost standstill but sweet voice of birds ‘re echoing here and there.Vivek gently open window of  his room.’Ohh!it’s so cold  outsideand this unexpected power failure …I really wish this phase will change soon.’’He told himself and gently turned to check time.Vivek’s interrupted by constant ringing of mobile. ‘kya baat hai Vivek? It’s been a long time.Are you at home?’’ Yug asked .’’Are you coming ,Yug ?’’ Vivek replied.’’ Yeah ,my best friend.’’Vivek’s so glad to hear this from Yug .After  a few minutes , a few knocks at his door,Vivek ‘s more than happy to see Yug  now.’’ Hey , what ‘s your plan?’’Yug asked Vivek.’Kya boolu ? Ohh!such a major power failure .It’s better to go outside.’’ Vivek smiled.Yug don’t  reply but Vivek know that Yug ‘s happy to be outside.Being best friends they get along  well and understand each other.’ Kya hua Vivek ? Alright /something else?’’Yug asked.’Nothing like that , I’m good.’’Vivek smiled.’ Even I don’t think so.Perhaps you may be waiting for a Bollywood film to release  for long time.’’ Yug  told.’Yeah!exactly waiting for this ,but how do u know Yug? I think you don’t even know my favourite actor ’’ Vivek  asked ‘ Sab kutch pata hai  Vivek . Ohh!!that’s why you don’t watch films  like a short circuit happened in a wonderful film  years back. It seems people sometimes never see realities before their eyes’’. Yug smiled’ Hahaha!do you think people will see realities happening at a distance. But how do  find out so easily , Yug?’’ Vivek’s surprised for a while .’’ Friendship ‘s not acting to be best friend, but always being the  same best friend  at all times.’’ Yug smiled at Vivek. ‘It’s nice to hear from you,Yug. Working like 24x7  at the same place, we don’t get enough time even to talk.It seems realities ‘re always filmy.’’Vivek replied.’Ofcourse Vivek,  realities will always be like this . Because pre productionof the film, light ,  cut , action, retakes, camera ,music/songs / tunes  ,  pack up ,post production etc always happen in life . We don’t even care but when a new day begins,( light), u’re working (action) ,if u preserve  these ( camera), when u rethink and do tasks (cut), doing same  things multitasking ,(retake) night comes ( pack up ), music/songs/ tunes [ hearing music , singing , listening ,] ,dance [ listening watching/ doing dance]start working / getting new project ( preproduction),  submitting project  by editing all flaws (postproduction].’’Yug ‘s smiling. It ‘s getting hot as time flies.’’ Hey ! Vivek , tough times will come , look even butterflies seem to be in competition for being  ‘’Number 1.’’ No 1 ‘s just a number, but I think zero ‘s more value.Because your  true  friends will believe in your talent as you’re’’ hero’’,even though sometimes you achieve nothing like ‘Zero. ’’ Yug told. Kya??’’ Vivek’s surprised for a while.’’ Kutch nahi. When we put  zero after one[10] , it becomes 10, if u put countless zeroes value increases.So staying like zero may be a total disaster, but there will always be a way to be much more successful than we ever dream some times’’. .”No words to say ,Yug  but thankyou so much… I’m  really lucky to get a true friend like you.It’s easy to criticise  but not easy to appreciate because it takes a lot of patience, courage,not to be in competition, fame, popularity,  jealous,selfish ,greed,ego and even faith in other’s talent . And even a great mind to think what will I be there instead of them, so lonely working  even harder ,waiting  success for a long time,and finally succeed to hear  criticisms which may never  ever deserve.’’Vivek replied.’ Yeah , Vivek.you never lose anything when you wish something great happen to others or best  friend.May be such a noble thing if you can appreciate with an honest mind away from  competition,ego , greed , popularity, fame,selfishness,suspicion, jealousy,not to imitate but to get inspired to says congrats  honestly,even you ‘re not much successful at the other end.’’Vivek told.’ Ofcourse Vivek, it really matters to achieve as being a celebrity by winning an award at a small film festival.It’s just an award but achieved through lot of hardwork , concentration, passion , vision, patience, incredible talent , and even  courage to achieve when success seems all over for a while.It may be even hard to withstand trials and errors, doing so many retakes, working like 24x7 waiting for perfect shot until it comes.’Yug replied.’ Successand failure will change  in a fraction of second , sometimes in the brink of crisis , even mind stops supporting us . Perhaps we never know , but  true friends may be honestly  praying for our  success , forgetting what success means to them .What matters most is to remind almost all who really support us, being humble, believe in hardwork, and being same person even after winning unexpectedly .’’Vivek told .’Yeah , sometimes art of humility stands tall even in unexpected phaseof glory,where integrity glows like candle without pretension of fire crackers, which glow only for a while.May be not to float , swim,or sink in success,even not by snatching it by competition,but by putting heart mind and soul into even their smallest acts which makes successful person so special. Incredibly special even for best friends or others , to say’’ Thankyou’’ and ‘’Congrats’’ in the golden letters of colors without coloring with anything . It’s just a few words ‘’ Thank you so much for inspiration  and Congrats  for being there ‘’.Yug smiled .’Of course Yug, success sparkles, becomes incredible   when people becomes successful  by not   being crazy to compete only for  milestones.  But  by   proving critics wrong,    put more hardwork even there’s chance of  crushing defeat , keep things simple by not even try to draw attention  ,never think as superior than others ,try nothing  to impress  others but oneself and having  sense of gratitude, responsibility, value success, and forsaking pride at great success.’’Vivek replied.Most often  even successful people  inturn get carried away by everything they see around them.Perhaps they never think of  glaring uncertainity of life which can keep success away from them .It seems odd to think from the top of success to nothingness, but it appears real sometimes.You can’t take success always for granted but you can console yourself by putting hardwork as much as you can even you don’t get what you deserve sometimes. Oppurtunities will come and it’s sure some day hardwork will be rewarded with flying colors of success.’’Yug told .  ‘Perhaps most people may never think, successful ones sometimes struggle to keeping hanging in there ,fighting against comforts to achieve higest potential. They often use comfort in a responsible way, endure more and most often they don’t even have too many choices.’’ Vivek replied.’  Even if we ‘re watching our ever favourite film , many of us will think like Oh God !! this  film ‘s so wonderful.But most people never even  try to think  , how much effort does the  actor take to  make scenes so perfect to watch it again and again ’’.Yug  asked.’ Yeah Yug , an actor may be involved in lot of hardwork  sometimes doing retakes ,learning new tasks, evolve as character to portray in such a  natural way from pre  production  till the film ‘s over .Sometimes their  hardwork becomes distant memory when the film never  becomes a blockbuster .And critics may be waiting for a golden chance to criticise them, without even caring they ‘re not supernatural to go through  adverse criticisms , most often they don’t even deserve.’’  Vivek told.’Critics  may not even think that the hardworking upcoming actors they criticise may be talented than they can even dream.’’ Yug smiled . ‘Yeah Yug.  Most often people feels like at the top of world when someone praise them .But how many of us will ever think and dare to say ‘’ Thank you so much.But why you praise me so much?I’m what I’m, but it’s obvious I respect everyone. It ‘s just  if I hear good things about me,I get scared.If people  will talk good about me…… then  may be I will take  things for granted.That ‘s why I told you and why you think otherwise ? I’m sorry if hurt u ‘’Vivek replied’ No words to say , it’s so sure that the one who dare to say like this ,may be a gem of character.They will ultimately succeed in their life  eventhough they ‘ve to face crushing defeats or criticisms for a while. Because they may be the ones who never take people for granted but always be  same person without pretensions .’’ Yug replied ‘Yeah , you ‘re always my true friend , like a rolemodel . You  always inspired me to do good things and be with me at all times . There will never ever be another best friend like you . Because you dare to criticise me  in a honest way  when I really need it, but not pretending to appreciate  me,whenever you ‘re so sure that  I can really improve .And you always give me the most beautiful gift of true friendship at all times reminding of friendship day which only comes once in a year ‘’ Vivek smiled. ‘Thankyou so much . Hmmmmmm speechless , no words to say let me compliment you, you ’re so good who respects everyone’s view , never has a fake attitude but an amazing friend . It ‘s sure people will appreciate your attitude  , think twice before saying bad about you and never block you ,but find themselves lucky to get such a best friend . Because you never try to impress anybody  but your character impress everyone .’’Yug replied.Time’s gone  so quickly,and it’s getting noon.’ Vivek , I’m so happy to spend  some time with you  than at work place . Hope to see you tomorrow .’’ Yug told. ‘Ofcourse Yug , hope this powerfailure will be over soon. Otherwise it will be very hectic for us , isn’t Yug ?’’ Vivek smiled.’ Yeah Vivek. But I’m so sure our friendship will not be a failure like this unexpected powershortage .It will last till the end .’’ Yug replied .’’ofcourse Yug whatever happens you will be always my true friend ‘’ Vivek smiled. Any way’’ MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, HAPPY B’DAY  IN ADVANCE , MY BEST FRIEND . MAY GOD REALLY BLESS YOU ON THAT DAY ‘’ Yug  told ,’ Vivek smiled at him ..’’ But I really know that your b’day ‘s on DECEMBER 18 … and I know it without looking anywhere but may be  it’s not because of my memory power ,but of only reason that  you ‘re such a great friend , and it will be always .’’ Yug told.  They hugged each other and waved  goodbye .
