The most magnetic personality I have
ever come across is Subhro da…an unmistakable persona that draws everyone’s
attention towards him, and he doesn’t have to try at all!
A dash of salt and pepper hair
gives him a mature look but when he talks to you, you only come to see his
boyish charm. He has this exceptional quality of making people around him feel
so welcoming and happy. I don’t remember any instance when he was not smiling.
He never brags hence you like him
more when you discover his talents and hear his stories. He never spreads negativity
as a result his company never lacks humour or light moments. He never
demotivates or has fun on someone’s expense but his wit and one liners cramps everyone’s
sides. He never fails to show up when you call him for a drink (even if he is
not planning to drink).
He loves his alcohol, but he doesn’t
smoke. He suffered from acute jaundice a few months ago and could not drink for
a whole year. But whenever we called him to have a drink with us he never
said no. We insisted him to at least have one beer, but he only ordered a
lemonade or a cola. He knows most of the places to eat and drink in Kolkata and
he always suggests the best dishes wherever he goes. And the best thing about
him is all the waiters know him wherever we go. He would make sure that he
smiles and talks nicely to them. I am sure even the waiters and managers get drawn towards his enigmatic
personality!
There are things about him I discover
every time I meet him. The first time I met him I found out he is a very enthusiastic
self-taught finger-style guitar player. Sometime later I found out his ability
in the English language, no wonder all those books he reads. Then one day just
came to know he loves watching all those TV series of the world of which we have never even
heard of. He consumes knowledge.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear someday that he became very successful but not very rich. Well-travelled but not lots of
possessions. Well-read but not lots of degrees. Because he spends it all on
happiness. His kind is rare, and hope God manufactured more like him for this
world to be a much better and warmer place to be in.
