Birthday BLASTS in canteen

Ting tong .....message pops up in my cell...MEET U IN THE CANTEEN AT 4....The same message pops up in my friend's cell too...We look at each other..At 4??Its already 3.45...What else to do??I wind up my guitar practice and my roommates feel happy for it coz they already knew there's gonna be freedom from noise pollution!!Me and my friend get ready quickly fearing not to be late for a birthday party..Then,scene shifts to canteen..Friends already waiting for us looking every minute at the watch..There we go on time..Hmmm....Orders for the so called SUPER SPECIAL dishes in canteen....Then the gift sessions...Anthakshari....Truth and dare...These happens in every birthday treat....Commenting the people around us is our favorite pass-time...
This time as usual a guy is pointed out. He stood in the middle of the canteen looking at every table. I thought him to be a junior, perhaps a poor fellow who has never been to canteen before. Then a joke cracks from one among us and my attention turns towards my friends..After a long time I got paused to see the same poor fellow standing beside our table and cleaning up the tables. Then while he was leaving I saw him limping..I was totally moved. But at the same time felt good, for there was a great amount of confidence in him. He was good looking,well dressed and was with robust. One negative point of being physically challenged did not take him back.
He has become a great inspiration coz apart from having no drawbacks , we feel nervous and lack confidence at times.. haha...God must be crazy!!!!
