"I am going home today with Rhoda...",said Rini.
For a moment I didn't know what to say and how to respond. I just nodded by head and quickly made a phone call to let the others know. The next few moments were a blur as we had to go to college for a few formalities.
Moments passed and she was all set to go. The others hadn't come yet. Rhoda and Rini decided to wait a few more minutes. Rimjhim came back early and both of us waited with Rini.
An auto pulled up...Sangeetha, Gincy and Lisa emerged. There was a lot of hugging and emotions began to flow. One of the first people in this group of close friends was leaving.....That is when we realized...the course was over...we would all go in different directions in the next few days...we would all go to different places...
As time passed by we kept our emotions in check and our conversation turned to other things. But bit by bit, others came up and said they were leaving...People came and hugged and wished each other well and promised to keep in touch as they left the campus...
A few have already left and a few will leave tomorrow...As the new day dawns many will leave...And in each partaking it seems as though the heart grows heavier...
People have become so close...many memories have been formed...many friendships made and strengthened...many bonds created....
As I leave this place...I carry forward great memories...great friends...great relationships....and the best two years of my life....

"dhadkane khaamosh hain, kuch kehti nahi
ReplyDeleteyeh aakhari alvida na ho
chaahate aankhon se behti nahi
yeh aakhari alvida na ho
iss dard dil mein, dil mein rehne do
jo khauf hai aankhon se, aankhon se kehne do
dukh ki nadi chup chaap behne do
jo kehna hai tum dheere se keh do
yeh aakhari alvida na ho"
Life has to move on. Good luck with your future endeavors!
