"ATI"

 "Ati" as the name suggests means "too much" is Shardeya's friend... 

They have such bonding that they can complete each other's sentences... 

And at times even before an act is initiated they can completely neutralize their intentions and motivations...

Their lives together is the crux of matter in this blog... They both are reflectors of what happen around them... In Creative perspective they are both useless because of their education...

Ati is ashamed of the certificates that he has earned... Because he is not given any more credit than what his certificates suggest... "Imagine getting disqualified because of over qualification..."

Ati is a confused lonely fellow and from his conversations all the demons inside him talk... He is stupid, mischievous, cruel and very blunt when it comes to give an opinion... 

To his credit he can hardly take anything as his identity comes into existence just in attempts to criticize the world or in criticizing Shardeya... The best part of his life is in his desire to influence Shardeya... 

The anxiety of Ati keeps him at loss or in state of deprivation all the time... For him the source of infinite strength is "indifference", an only way of getting things done is "will"... 

To him - Fear, Adjustments, Love, Compassion, Tolerance, Society, Family, Relatives are just saprophytes... 

He doesn't trust anyone, police, doctor, stock brokers and has a little more intense aversion for the priests... Teachers are Owls of the society and common people scavengers like Crows... 

His favourite books are many but he has special interest in Pancha Tantra and a few crazy ghost stories from the past...

To him people are more honest when they are excited - in anger while abusing... And gets alarmed by those people who talk about virtues and other subjects depending on level of their creativity in presentations... The more a speaker is creative or articulate, the more alarmed he becomes...

If you want something from him wait for his mood to change... Material to him is as good as dust... but again it depends on mood...

Example: These two occasions happened at a time... Windowpanes of his home was broken... He was along with Shardeya trading in the market... They were carrying a little larger piece of glassware and had to get them cut into size...

When they took it to a professional, he heard him say that the glass may break if he attempts... Shardeya at once got alarmed... But Ati supported the professional... I remember his argument, "Everyone should be given a chance to begin... Experience comes later... And if he still ends up breaking the glassware, it will be a loss of fifty rupees... You will still carry your luck back home..."

Then later a few minutes later I remember him arguing with a vegetable vendor over some sum of fifty paise... 

Then a few years later there was an event for which a collection was made... Ati was interested in paying only Three Hundred Rupees... Someone tried to influence him by suggesting that Five Hundred Could be a very good help... And Ati's response was fabulous, he said, "One thousand Rupees could be an even better help but; when you are asking for donations you shouldn't tease modesty of the donors..."

Most of his insights are worth taking guidance from... His only worry is Shardeya... The poor fellow who is trying hard to make for his living... Shardeya for whom he can make any compromise, for whom he can lie his life, earning and object in his possession that Shardeya could name...
