THIS morning at six o'clock, my cell phone rang and there was my friend, Jay, who had just returned from a monastery in the south. He stayed there for a month.Jay and I were good friends in college. He was one of the best writers in our class. He wrote poems and essays that had the clarity of water. He left us all biting the dust. And then in fourth year, he just vanished.A month later, I had dinner with him. There were dark yellow blotches on his face. He looked pale, even bloodless.
Jay would later fall in love again, this time with his good-looking flatmate. I wanted to scold him. First, you fell in love with the hunk in college. Then you fell for the Matteo Giudicelli of the subdivision. But he told me never to worry, for this time, he never told his flatmate about his feelings. He just quietly left and sought out other lodgings.I would occasionally invite him to lunch or to the movies, but he always avoided me. I think he didn't like people like me.
