to my superhero !!!

"Who is your superhero ?" someone asked me ... ...Superman... Batman... Spiderman.. or even Hanuman.... these are the names that pop up whenever you think of a SUPERHERO.... some might even go down to RAMBO, Terminatior, super commando Dhurb... Bhokal... Nagraj... etc etc ... the list goes on.. We have grown up with all these names ... all these superheros from the characters in the comic book to those running on the TV sets to silverscreen.

They have been the ones who with their super strength overcoming the evil forces ... stopped the burning train... saved someone from falling off an empire state building...fought against all odds to save the one they love... revert the alien attack... and what not.. might be if these superheros weren't on a break they might have stopped the 9/11 ....really awesome aren't they?

But as i think more to answer "who is your superhero?".. i not only considered the phyiscal strength .. and if i look at the names that came to my mind initailly they all had one thing in common... they were superpowerful... with some superspecial ability they could climb walls... were able to fly like a bird .. like a plane .... whose stunts never went wrong ...but they were all the comic book characters.. nothing real about them ... not what i wanted in my superhero... the closest was ..Spiderman with its split perosnality in Spiderman 3 ( I havent watched " the dark knitght... and hancock surely doesnot come in my list ).

Then this guy came to my mind... he is not a superhero who stopped the running train .. not the one who can fly or has spiderwebs coming out from his wrists every time he twitched it ... he couldn't even climb walls.. but surely he did climb a 50 meter tower in NT building ... saw Machapucchre from the middle of Tarai...and he had one special quality .. which most of us lack .. which is not common to all .. not even the all the superheroes i mentioned... he could make anyone SMILE...

He taught me how to smile.. even in the hardest of time he did it himself.. he always smiled... he shared happiness... more than his sorrows, ke kept it to himself.. and thats why i call him strong .. its not just physical strength that makes one a superhero..its the mental strength in those testing time that counts ... and he also had that ability to bring out the best in anyone... and most of the time he set an example by delivering the best himself ( there aint no person who is project manager, technical expert, support engineer,labor.. all in one).

And if there is any one person in this world who i will bet my life on .. then he will be the one.

Lately he flew to Amrika ( on a plane sutpid !!! ).. and he is being missed ... i guess everone misses their superhero and its not just me.... he have left a mark into everones heart .. and he will be the one who will be talked about whenever there is something to be happy about .. something to cheer about .... and also in those hard times.... wish he was here ....but as he walked upto the departure in TIA .. he looked back and with one last superhero dialouge he said " I will be back".
