Smoking - an adorable evil

Jus want to chill out from the entrepreneur world.... A story of my friend best friend shyam ...
Life went like a family ice cream pack, full of cream much sweeter than anything in our college days.we used to bunk classes and go to ground and smoke ... although smoking is not allowed n our campus.shyam used to bring 3 cigars and rahul and I used to share with him.... It was a gret feeling .. when we smoke we used to forget everything ... mind used to relax a... its a different feeling and only people who smoke can feel it .. lide went well ... been from the same school we moved with each other well .. shyam and i were from same class and so were so close ... but this cigar hour everyday made rahul closer to us ... As we moved to second year our subject difficulty also increased ... so our relaxing hour ... it gave us immense pleasure .. and our chit chat for that hour was priceless ... we used to comment on everybosy ... mock at our proffessors ... especially on Mr.Ram our Machine design lecturer .. one cannot forget those happy hours ...after all these mischievous we used to score 70% .. although we have some book worms scoring 90% ..70 was great for us considering the fact that we bunk classes ... oh yesh after all these we had our last day farewell .. and i couldnt believe life went so fast .. we three musketeers went to our favourite place and decided to have a last fag ... we spoke everything what we had for these 4 years ...
We were about to leave and i said " guys,its high time now ... " .. they dint understand and shyam asked me " Whats the matter dude?? " ... " Shayam dont you think we are going above the stipulated limits??? .. i mean smoking .. we almost smoke a packet everyday ... hmmm .. its the last day and why dont we take a resolution like to quit smoking" ... shyam burst into laughter ... and so as rahul ... but i could see rahul was giving a second thought ... shyam thought i was joking and dintsay any word and started to leave .. i held his shoulders and said "hey tell me an answer" ... he said " its off topic" ... i was so annoyed and we left the place where we stayed often ...
Life went well after that ... we joined a mechanical firm ... shayam's father was a big shot and so we got same firm with his influence ... work pressure was so high.I kept my word and i din touch cigar from then ... daily we used to meet 3 times at a tea shop ...due to our work we hardly meet ... when we meet shyam used to fag but rahul and I didnt ... we quit it way before ... One day we were asked to stay back at office since we had auditing the next day...that was external auditing and we have to set everything perfect ... it was 2 AM and we thought we have to chill out ... we went out and the climate was so cold ... shyam immediatly took one cigar and lighted it ... i said " Shyam please .. could you stop this idiotic habit? ... " he said " Anand,please dont compel me in this" .. I said " This would kill you shyam .. this is not good for your health" he didnt listen to my words and he continued his nasty habit ... i didnt like to stay there and so i left that place and suddenly rahul shouted "Anand !!! Anand !!! " .. i ran and found shyam fainted ..
We rushed to nearby hospital and we admitted shyam ... i was so worried ... i wished what ever i told him should not happen ... doctor came out and i rushed to him ... he was very sad and i asked him " Doc , what happen to shyam? " ... he said " calm Mr.Anand, shyam is suffering from the highest stage of lung cancer.He should have been here atleast before 10 months " ... i was shattered .. i felt as though a big pin pricked my heart ... i cried like anything when he said this ...i din even sleep that night .. i informed his parents .. his mom rushed to hospital ... it was a havoc seen there .. shyam's father did not turn up as he was busy with his business ... his business was his first son ... i know i am goin to lose my friend ... my dearest friemd ... all because of this bloody habit he had ... damm smoking ... shyam killed himself .. and so many lakh of youth ..
shyam left me 4 months after that .. In these 4 months he always used to tell me " i made a mistake.. a blunder ... i should have given light to your words and now i am an example to all those who smoke".yes he was an example for many people who smoke.An habit which started to be a fashion statement killed his life ... there are people who smoke and live for 50 years ... but there are also people like shyam ... why take chances ... live life happily ...
Guys .. please quit smoking ... before its takes a toll ...
