00:15But I was telling a lie.

00:17And he just waved, and I waved, and that was it.

00:21I knew that he will just go after that.

00:26He always used to sit next to me in the class once a week.

00:52So the friendship just grew nicely, there was no romance involved at that time.

01:15We started from scratch, there were no big hospitals anywhere at that time.

01:21We had to start from scratch with hardly any bank balance.

01:43He was in the midst of Covid, he was sitting in a war room every day.

01:50There was so much of crisis going on, and he was dealing with it every single day.

02:25We went to Darjeeling, and we had a nice Holi together.

02:35On the video call, I used to paint one flower for him every night,

02:59But I was telling a lie, and he just waved, and I waved, and that was it.

03:16I will carry on with the good work of the hospital.

03:25Now I don't miss him at all, because he is with me all the time.
