Personality
edit
Arjun was a man with strong principles. He was a fierce Atheist and was reproachful of moral policing in the name of religion. He was known for practicing what he preaches. He also has an incredible charisma and it his juniors at school, like the author of this article, always looked up to him. He enjoyed a succesful stint at his school as Cultural Secretary. Arjun has an army of friends ready to lay down their lives for him. He has never let down his friends, and is even tempered with everyone. He was a favorite of all the teachers in his school, who unanimously acknowledge his charisma and sense of responsibility. To many, he was a mentor, giving them self confidence when they were down.
For instance, Yeshwin, who was two years Arjun's junior wanted to learn the guitar, but his classmates told him he didn't have the attitude for it. Arjun, being a supremely talented guitarist, was the one who guided Yeshwin and instilled confidence in him. Yeshwin is now in the process of becoming a very talented guitarist. This is one of the many success stories where Arjun had guided his peers, old and young. In fact, Arjun was the one responsible for killing the "killjoy attitude" of the author of this article.
