Common Man

Once upon a time in my college,there was a 'guy' in our just junior batch. I met him in a bus when I was going back to home during my second year days.

Oue batch was very dangerous/stupid batch and some of the brave 'men' from our batch used to fight every now and then. Some times the events were inter-year and sometimes they were intra-year as well.

Now this 'guy' was the perfect example of a common man. Whenever anyone would fight anywhere inside the college premises [sometimes outside also] he was the first one to be beaten up. His seniors, his juniors and his batch-mates, everyone had an opportunity to kick/slap/punch him for absolutely no fault of his. His only fault was that he was a common guy with common friends with no uncommon property. When I was in my final year, our batch had an ordeal with 'his' batch. He was drinking somewhere in the jungles, he appeared from nowhere and when he realized the situation, he found himself in the middle of the ring where everyone slammed him badly :D :D

When I was in Satyam, Bangalore, I got a news that he had been expelled from the hostel because no one knew why. Once he was coming back from his vaccations and some people beat him at the bus-stand. :P

What a fucking loser he was!!!

I was just wondering, what is he doing? Is he alive?
Was he ever alive?
I don't know but whenever I see a common man, that sight reminds me of that 'guy'.

P.S: It's Real, he existed once. Now I don't know

I personally think common man is more versatile (read: opportunistic) than that. Common man is always on a look out to beat up the next person weaker than him, be it children, wife, junior at the office, mother in law harassing the bahu, and the list just goes on. I think your 'guy' doesn't fit the bill of a common man, especially, if he didn't beat up his juniors. ;)

PS: I too was curious where did your last post about a man dying outside PGIMER go? But if you removed it because of common man's good common sense dawning on you, then you could ignore this query. :)

dude, common man gets beaten, uncommon man also gets beaten. If you get beaten once, someone will always be there to beat you up.

"Have a Break" :)

Dawn said...

Hi dear...long time no see :) I know everyone is busy like a bee!
Read about the 'guy' don't know what to say but sometimes if we dont think about such 'guys' then they live and die and no one even comes to know about their existence :)
Its good that the thought of the guy comes in your mind once in a while - some where you cared for him :)
Take Care and please come back with your post - don't delete it!
Cheers
