Writings- Witness to these Words

'G', as we fondly call him is back with his words. When I saw the site, I merely forgot that his full name is GN Abhishek. For good old times and the time I know him, I'll continue with the name I like- G. G maane Genius. In our class there were a bunch of Abhis.  Abhishek G, Abhishek Y, Abhishek C, Abhinay M, Abhinay T. Abhishek G got his name- G, Y left the college after a while. Abhishek C was named C. Abhinay M was named Munagala after his initials M. I was named Renny after my nickname, Renny. 

In september 2012, I saw G for the first time in the new buildings of Mechanical Engineering Department. He was catching up with the sportive senior Siddarth & Rahul. That's the first glance I had of G. Sportive G mingled well with the sportive seniors and by the end of the week, both of us were sharing our first day experiences in big groups. We mostly hung out in big groups at 'hungry jacks' the cool hangout spot in the college and shared conversations. The topics ranged from finding motivations to come to college to all the random stories 

Abhi & Abhi Circa 2015

In retrospect, I feel warm recollecting my engineering days as we spent good four years creating a lot of memories. As I think of the beginning days, I vivdly remember CAD lab conversations and the times we hung out, being there in the present moment, rather than being distracted on phones. I always knew G for his creative spirits and keen observations of the situations, moments and stories. During our college days, Jishan and G had a film review blog where they reviewed movies regularly. I loved reading those reviews. More on the college memories in another post. 

As we moved out of college, we found our own ways to explore this world. After college, we were always connected virtually but hardly managed to catch up in-person regularly as I was always out of town, working in different cities. Over the time, G continued his creative pursuits through photography, words and put it out different mediums. Of many instagram handles, he handle- Witnesstothese is his photography handle where he shares his visual compositions. I'm in awe of his consistency and eye for the story. With a simple welcoming line- witness to these, he welcomes you to see the world through his eyes. He's an avid listener and actively listens to music, reads a lot, got a knack of humour and appreciate the nuances of language, music and a lot more. One who is quite observant, patient and curious can only spend so much time actively to appreciate arts of various mediums. G is active in various social communities pursuing everything that interests him. Thanks to G, through his connections, I also met another amazing photographer friend-Aishwarya in Jaipur. I'm so happy to see him being active in different communities in town and engage in a lot of things he love while pursuing his professional corporate career. 

Keep an eye to witness all the words, visuals and much more G would bring on to his platform-https://witnesstothese.blogspot.com/
