Utsaav Parekh: The Mysterious Man

Yes, you might be confused whether its Utsav or Utsaav but its Utsaav Parekh. Though the meaning is same as Utsav (which means festival). Even his name is much unknown to the people as the man himself. You will never know what he is up to. He is a mystery which Vyom and I are trying to solve for about 2 years but still the mystery continues. I was worried that where should I start when writing about the most mysterious man in our class. It’s not like that we don’t know about him, it’s like we are unable to ‘predict’ or guess what he is going to do now and then. Still I will try very hard to bring the ‘real’ Utsaav in front of you.

I met him in 1^st year when he was wearing formals and I just hate formals. Yuck!!! He looked like a geek to me and soon I realized that he is the most boring guy I have ever met. I rarely saw him in 1^st year and I didn’t even know that he was in our branch. In 2^nd year, he was in hostel (12^th floor). He still looked very ‘seedha saadha’ to me. And he often used to bug me when he used to come to my flat (10^th floor). I avoided going to his flat initially. Soon I realized that this guy has some vision and is much disciplined. He is not a normal guy like all of us. He stands out from the crowd. Actually, it was the end of 2^nd year that we realized that he has a very good sense of humor. He continues to build jokes on people as he is never part of controversies.

But, in 3^rd year he was much part of such controversies:

First, he wanted to give Image Processing test which no one was in favor of. But, he had very good points for defending himself. Let me bring the truth now. Actually, some people called him that day and told that he should stand on this issue and they will be supporting him. But, as we all know we are MBA-Techians. People started playing politics. At one point they said that they were with him and at other point they were telling others that ‘Even we don’t want to give the test but if Utsaav will give even we will give’. Dirty politicians!!!

Second, he gave the assignment to Pintu Shah which was the original copy by Neha Jain which no one was giving because some people didn’t complete it. Even Neha herself didn’t give and gave a nice reply to Pintu. I didn’t understand the reason why he gave it even when the master copy builder wasn’t in favor of it. He told us the reason why he gave. He said: ‘If people think that there is Unity in our class then when they were when I needed help? I go outstation quite often and that is the time they should also show Unity then why didn’t they? ’. I still didn’t understand the connection. But, he must be having a point. I think that he should have given the assignment only when he must have written it himself but he also copied. Other controversies I am not able to remember. If there are please do tell me.

Now, let us move on to the characteristics of this guy. He is very funny guy. Makes fun of others. Especially on your inabilities!!! He is quite bugging at times. But, a very good friend of mine!

He is a pure businessman. He goes out of city so many times. We always wonder what he is up to as he is taking formal clothes, tie and what not. He rarely gets angry and when he gets then he will tease you on those matters for your whole life. Better be watchful!!! He annoys you a lot if you are going to stay for at least 15 minutes with him. Even God won’t be able to save you. He never spares anyone. He just hates people who are ‘born’ politicians. He can know the person in just first meeting. His favorite food is Chinese and then Punjabi. I still remember the days when we used to have Falooda Kulfi at around 11 pm in 2^nd year. And not to forget the Chinese food at 2 am in 3^rd year almost everyday. Vyom and Utsaav can never stop watching ‘Bakwaas Band Kar’ on TV which I just don’t like. The quality of jokes was not so good but they both used to laugh like anything and I just used to stare them. Oh man! Have some standards. Anyways, 3^rd year just passed so easily with Utsaav cracking jokes on everyone. He never spares anyone. OK, Utsaav talks rarely to girls. I don’t know why. Many girls try to talk to him and even made fun of him. But, he didn’t respond. I am reminded of one incidence when he actually responded very well to one of the girls. He replied and we all were amazed by his remark. He knows how to handle these situations very well.

One line which he always says: ‘Duniya mein sab kuch tumhaari marzi se nahi hota’. And this is very true. This should be taken as learning by each and every MBA-Techian. We get odd situations in life and we should fight them rather than postponing and not facing them with courage. His one-liners are worth to be taken seriously. One more. It was when I was seeing a hot girl when we were traveling in an auto. He said: ‘Tujhe usme rab nahi dikhta to tu use kyon dekhta’. I just laughed. Well, he may be true but that was a bit funny when he said it. This I didn’t take it seriously as it was meant to be a joke. One thing which made him angry with him was when we had a very controversial discussion. Also he keeps on reminding me when I teased him on ‘Ambani’ and other things.

Well, he might be different but he is one of us. He is a ‘vichitra praani’ like our Group. He is quite mysterious as you have to take good amount of time to know the ‘real’ Utsaav. That is the reason people rarely find a friend in him. I think people should make him good friend and let him explore girls. Girls, please help him. Otherwise he will have a very bad time later in his life. Just kidding!

That’s all from my side. I think Vyom will be able to explain properly on him as they both are Best Friends.

The response was overwhelming for the last post on Swati aka Maaji aka Ammaaji. Hoping for at least half the number of comments on this post.

Utsaav Parekh hasn’t even seen the post. But, told me to post it. This is what Utsaav is all about. He never cares what people talk or write about him. He is a MYSTERIOUS FIGHTER!!! Cheers Bro!!!
