Tale of Two Kauls

Well, this is a tale of two Kauls I know. They both are totally different, have never met each other and the only thing that connects them is actually their surname.

Let me start of writing about the first Kaul that walked in to my life, Rishabh Kaul. I rememeber, a boy walking in with his dad and just staring around the class. There was this mischievous grin on his face (that still remains)and a spark in him that made him stand out (and still does! Now it also could be because of the oodles of weight put on by him.) As a tween, I despised him to the core but as time passes on, things change. Today, we both are 18, and I can say he is among my closest friends. He has been there for me all the time. He makes me laugh like no one else does. It is always a pleasure talking to him. I guess, he is among the few people I can chat and chat for very long time without even one moment of boredom. Thanks to him, I wake up at two in the morning to study for my exams. He without flinching gives me those wake-up calls. Over the years, opinion about this Kashmiri has changed a lot. Earlier, he was this hollow menace maker of class and now he is a mature dependable friend of mine. Readers, this is Rishabh Kaul.

The next Kaul did not walk in with his father but rather was added on orkut! I am yet to meet him and top of that have a proper telephone conversation with him. He is Aditya Raj Kaul. This Kaul has achieved so much at his age, it is just incredible. 'Justice for Priyadarshini' is his soul and I am sure he will become the activist he wants to be. He is involved with this and that. Everytime I chat with him, he amuses me further. I am trying to absorb how a 17-yr old can be so opinionated on various things? Behind this hardcore activist, there is (thankfully) a funny side. Well, the only one I know who thanks the creator of the abbrevaition lol. Otherwise, how will he ever diplomatically handle, 10 windows at once?! Also, he has never heard of modesty. (Kidding! He knows that it exists!)

Thanks to one Kaul, a lazy student wakes up at two to study and thanks to the other a family and a soul has peace. One Kaul, is a dude at BITS (I think I can affirmatively say that) and the other is dude of DU. One is a non-veg and the other a hardcore veg! They both know what they want in lives. They both have different views on almost everything and enrich my life with varied experiences of theirs. Here is a cheers to them who are winners in their own right.
