Adieu.......


Back then it was fun.... Spending the entire day in school without having to attend classes.....The endless shopping trips to get a new saree...The planning and re-planning .... The blue and white atmosphere taking on a colourful look.. The ceaseless singing and dancing and enjoying......... Back then Farewell was just an entry point into the fascinating and eagerly awaited world of college... I never really understood what farewell meant...........

College was not very different... There was still nothing more to life than having fun and having a good time... The end of college meant the end of good times... the end of college meant no more late night parties or no more wild impulsive acts... The end of college meant taking on responsibilities...Back then it was a little unsettling... The endless promises to always keep in touch... The solemn decisions to meet in the near future... The tears.. The hugs.. The kisses.. The promises that I knew would never be kept. Farewell hurt a little cause I was old enough to understand that moving on in life meant things would never be the same again... I thought I grew up.... I thought i was old enough to understand that this was what life was about.. Back then I thought i understood what Farewell meant.........

Now... as I bid adieu to you... I realize that i’ve never really understood anything till now... Farewell is indeed a heavy burden to bear.........

If there is something called “the other world” I hope you get the best of that.........

FAREWELL MY DEAR FRIEND..............

  1. Very true from heart.. A helpless realisation of the dawn of reality cos of the confrontation with the enormity of a misconceived notion.. A farewell is by all means a bye bye with (I agree) no probability of meeting again. But then, there rests atleast a meagre probability.. But not in this case.. We cant find the friend.. The guilt of all that could be done when the probability was high.. Share the feelings..

  2. Very well written. I wish I'd known him more, but I know we will see him again and it's just for a short time here on earth when it would be otherwise. Hope is is happy. Farewell is just temporary ....
