Farwell




Farwell

Again time for one more Farewell, one of those days to again say good bye to someone formally. It surprises me the way life makes us go through numerous emotions. Trust me this one is one of those sweetly painful feeling where you are not able to decide are you really that sad or it’s a momentarily gloomy feeling. (May be depends on our psychological proximity with that person)

We all come across so many people in our lives, our friends, neighbors, colleagues, distant relatives, and many important /unimportant people we meet on daily basis. Take a second and think right from that peon at your previous office to the servant working at your house to the grocery wala  you used to buy or may be still buy your groceries from…  the new receptionist sitting at your  doctors clinic admiring you from distant  in every 15 seconds just because you seem handsome to her and lets you in a bit earlier then others.. ( haha blushing huh...) the Barber you go to every month … and he bores you with the gossips of the area…the sabjiwali outside your house who welcomes you with a sweet smile saying “madamji bas aapke liye he yeh bhaav hai lol….  ( I am sure she must be copy pasting the same dialogue to every good looking madamji and you know it) I know you are chuckling… as you have experienced this) all of them are connected to us … and then comes the Farwell time! Last meetings … and then we never see them around us as we used to…We digest the fact or not but all of them they teach us something in life. But whenever your life takes turns the set of people around you keep on shuffling…



In my preprimary years my best friend used to be swati , I loved her to the core and vice versa and we even promised that we will always be best of the friends even when we are old !!! lol… don’t smile… that was the thinking of 2 little preschoolers.. Again my "die together promise" mentality didn’t leave me … and at the age of 12 I again made a promise to my dear colony friend in front of the colony temple of shiv bhagwaan…lol..(I know what u thinking…now that was too much of a drama… but I was a drama queen since beginning  but to be honest that age was more responsible, not me.)   But after 5 years papa got transferred to some other city and we couldn’t rather I couldn’t keep my promise. We kept in touch via letters.

 Life moves on......Farewells happen, people move on so did I, you and million others in this world. Few people who stayed for ever …? Few for few years… months …. days and yes even few hours. They all have an interesting part to play in our lives and reversal. It’s up to us to which part to remember and forget or which ones to keep cherishing all through our lives.
The the best part is each moment you spent with them is making a memory … moments getting stored the way your images get stored in your cell phones…  you delete the images you don’t wish to store and you  save and keep which are worth cherishing ( depends on the closeness with that person…) We miss them,  yes we do. you transfer them to your laptop and sometimes when you go through them there is a flash back of memories, you relive those moments..

(Unfortunately I don’t have any photo of my colony friend and mine swearing in front of the mandir….. I am sure it would be on FB by now with tagline “down the memory lane” lol….)

Dedicated to all the people I met till now in my life …. Farewells happened. Many are forgotten, some which are still alive in my subconscious mind, but few still occupy a special place in my mind and heart and very few special ones which are hard to forget and I opt not to forget them forever!! The 2 I recently bid Farwell to are from the last category. :-( So lets keep maintaining/posting memories to your  timeline. Do i need to say which time line?? ;-) 
 Miss you all:-)






“So what if the Farwell time comes, I am happy that i made memories… memories which will last forever”


Good luck! Stay blessed – J
