masum final

Date: January 29, 2015

To whom it may concern,

It is worth mentioning in the beginning that I am asked to write about a good friend for the first time in my life. It's a bit strange for me to write about a friend like this, because to do so I have to think about the friend in a way that I never thought before. Anyway, it has been almost two years since I met Masum. We spent a lot of time together. So, perhaps I have quite a lot to tell about him, may be all of them will be his admiration. Because I was not unfortunate enough to know the darker sides of him (and I cannot say for sure if there is any). Every person is unique. But meeting and talking with everyone do not fascinate us quite often. It’s because though we all are unique, we are missing something.But there are some people among us whom we cannot categorize among the average people, they are exceptions. And yes, there are two kinds of exceptions, the person I am writing about is on the good side in the list of exceptional personalities. When I used to meet people and saw some of their qualities that I did not possess, I used to make an assumption on the extent of their quality. But this thinking pattern has been completely lost after observing several things about Masum.His work, objectives and dedication of achieving goals are out of comparison. Many of us want to learn something. We may try it twice thrice and maximum ten to fifteen times. But I strongly believe that Masum is able to spend his whole life if he desires to learn that thing. According to me, a man with that much determination is very rare now-a-days. Another quality that touches me is that he is not skeptic in any matter at all. He thinks of a particular matter at the right point of view and then he reacts. The man who possesses such quality should be admirable.

Once I became very sick. It was a severe stomach-ache. I had to go to hospital. I had no family member with me. At that period, a big brother and Masum were with me. It does not even matter to take me to the hospital or to be with me or to buy me medical accessories. In fact, I had many friends who would do that for me. But the way he told me that everything would be just fine and I would be recovered very soon gave me a heavenly moment. I did not remember how he told me or what exactly he told me, but I do remember that at that period I found my guardian who was always a helping-hand for me. Maybe it was a little thing. But sometimes small thing can create a much bigger impact. I also found some other qualities in him such as Voice Mimicry, Artistic and Scientist mentality etc. In a word he is a large factory of innovative ideas.

Oh yes! I can tell one of his characteristics that I feel bad about, which I am unable to judge if that is really bad. It is the sacrifice he makes to achieve his goal of life or to satisfy his thirst of knowledge. He can create a lot of troubles to his closest relatives for this kind of sacrifice. So he should do that for the greater good. Because if there is no greater good then all the sacrifices he has done will go in vain. I strongly believe that one day he will give the human kind such gift with his potential which will be far worth than his sacrifices…
