A Season of Goodbyes
Well, the time has come to come to bid goodbye to my friends, one after the other. Someone’s leaving today, someone tomorrow, someone a week later, but everyone is moving apart. It feels bad to let someone go, someone with whom you have shared four years of a journey. Some of us have homes in Bhubaneswar, some of us are getting transferred. So the possibility of all of us meeting at the same time gets dimmer with time. If either of us is in the same city, whether Singapore or Bhagalpur, its manageable. But the whole group together will need lots of coordination. Now considering that it was so difficult to plan a group outing while we were here, planning a group meet after some years is surely gonna be an uphill task!!
Even in the sadness, I feel a bit of happiness too. I feel happy that I have people around me whose absence has the power to sadden me. It seems like a very convoluted emotion, but that’s the way it is!! I hope it’s the same feeling in my friend’s minds too, hope they’ll miss me as I miss them.
Everyone says 2 years of MBA life will pass away in a jiffy. I wonder as to what kind of friends I’ll make there. I had great friends till 10th. Then when I went to a new school for 11th and 12th, those 2 years went away in a flash. Classes, then tuition, then more classes and more tuition, IIT-JEE preparation et al sucked the life out of me. So in this rat race, I did not make too many friends, though certainly a few good ones. Then came along 4 years of engineering studies, which were very fruitful in terms of the friendships I made- not too many in quantity, but certainly in quality. So I guess I’ll make friends of a professional nature there, going by the past record!! But I have kept an open mind about it.
So it’s a season goodbyes for now..

It was touchy. It says a goodbye, but along with it, it said many unsaid words – words which might never be able to express the sinking, yet uplifting phase you might be undergoing now. Friends, they are always rare to find.. and time , its a seemingly impossible wheel to turn according to our wishes.We do wish, we could turn back and visit down the memory lane and relive those wonderful days all over again- those carefree times and a life full of life… But as you once said, you need to crave for it badly, real bad.. and some unseen “Thing” shapes it all for you… We will meet, for friends are forever .. love
