adios.. to a great life..

I just wish this passing stage of my life gives me a lot to ponder on later in life, when am in the normal routine of life, in the hustle of catching a train back to home, just to reach early to my baby and then to cook food for my family, may be I will think of those days when we all used to return from office in car, taking the longest route possible, munching on the vada pav and mirchi from sewri, held up in traffic, still wanting to reach as late as possible, cracking all PJs, eating each others head, cursing Rajiths burps, tolerating Ambulys repeatophobia, helping Rajith to irritate Sowmya and being in the comfort of my dear Saurabh, me just beside him, his palm on top of mine, to change the gear.. Ah, I wish I think about these days then as the sweetest memories of my life, the college or school days were similar, but everyone of us came a long way ahead and the tears of farewell we shed then seem to be forgotten now, nevertheless the friendships, the promises and relations remain.. Somewhere I feel this time its not gonna be like that, yet another farewell may be, but then why do I feel the impact is gonna stay.. why do I feel that these days cannot be replaced.. Life has only improved for me, from school, to college, to now.. I have met wonderful and more wonderful people, have had good and better company around, but suddenly am feeling its all an end now.. Nothing more is in store.. All that has ended..

I may be having lunches and dinners on the table, with the closest people of my life with me, but will I ever get back those lunches I had with them on the floor, newspaper spread, eating like animals, attacking food, grasping from each others plate at the most untimely hours of the day.. Will I have the same thrill of kicking Rajith and running behind Saurabh for protection, when I will play with my kid.. Will I not miss the hours of chatter spent with Ambuly in bus when I listen to songs and solitude and go off to sleep, on the way.. Sowmya and me may be playing host to our guests at our homes, but will it ever be the same as what we together did..Salu may be a serious mom with her kids, but I wonder how can I help but not tell how she was, when she was with us. Breakfasts wont be bread and omelette then, Kuldeep wont be making them too, and there wont be ten of us to have that from 4 plates, still life will be beautiful, but will I be enjoying it as I do now? Movies I will go then too, but the no of tickets will be just two.. How will I not miss the chain mails sent for nothing, other than to pull eachother/pass time in office/choke the network.. How will those chain mails be possible when my day is someones night in that country, my leisure time is someones study time in hostel..

Things will change, wish it never does.. Cant help but accept some changes as life moves on.. Wish my mind knows these too..

  2. wel. growing old with friends is going to be another experience. they might not be around, there will be lesser calls. but you can always fix your daughter's marriage with saurabh's son (if at all he has one) and feel happy about the fact that she couldnt have got any better home.

  3. Hi there! Cheer up! Doomsday is only on 12th of December 2011 (that makes it 365*2+50 days). Time enough to have a party all over once again. The only thing changed in your life is your status from a single bird to two birds! Isn't that fun? Have you watched the sparrows? if not, start watching them from tomorrow onwards (unfortunately the crows seem to be eating up all the sparrows..but still you might be lucky to find one or two). or maybe you could observe the pigeons. see the fun they have in carefully building their nests? have you noticed how selective they are in picking up twigs? not all twigs but twigs that measure exactly right.

    have fun...

    btw...thanks for inviting me into your exclusive circle. am proud to befriend all you gen-nex'es.

    and oh! i can relate with you 'cause my wife too is a taurus.

    sorry for the anonymity. it is not by choice but because i have no real identity on the net.
