My best TISS batch mate Rexx

I met Rexx on 11^th March 2011 it for my Interview & Group Discussion for Masters in Counselling course in TISS.  There were many aspirants I don’t remember the exact number but maybe more than 20. Many were from North East India. Although Rexx hails from North East India he interacted more with me than his North Eastern counterparts.

We had a group discussion before the Interview. I found it extremely strange as in the group discussion Rexx’s & my view points matched a lot.

After the group discussion we had our respective interviews. Rexx’s interview number was after mine. I gave my interview & preferred to wait patiently till his interview got over rather than returning home. After his interview we discussed our experience. We both were somewhat exhausted & nervous as we both hadn’t done well in our respective interviews & didn’t have any hopes of studying in TISS. Luckily we exchanged our phone numbers before leaving TISS campus.

The results came out & luckily we both got the required marks to study Masters in Counselling in TISS. I asked him to do the admission formalities. He wasn’t that keen to join as he was scared of not clearing his Bachelors Degree. I gave him hopes & pushed him to join. Eventually he joined & we both took admission together on the same day.

Most of my class mates were females & as Rexx & I knew each other prior to joining TISS we preferred to be sit together most of the time rather than spending time with others. Unluckily we both were in different FC class. Although most of our thoughts matched tremendously he preferred to do his specialisation on working with children’s issues & problems & I chose to do my specialisation on working with adult’s issues & problems so our classes got separated but whenever we met we had a great time.

I’ll always remember the treats that he gave me in Dominos & other restaurants for no reasons. I’ll also remember the electronic items he gave me for free.

Although we belong to different religion & states our friendship bond was so strong. We had similar thoughts & views throughout our 2 years time. One of the common thing I found strange was that we both didn’t have any liking for a particular type of food.

Although we had many similarities there were some differences as well like Rexx being very good at drawing & playing computer & playstation games whereas I being poor at drawing & not at all found of computer & playstation games.

He leaves Mumbai today to go to Manipur. I wish he gets whatever is right for him & I also wish that wherever his life takes him he gets immeasurable happiness, fame, glory, joy, peace, prosperity, success, good health & all the good luck possible to have by any1, & countless reasons to smile.
