I was lost with the thrilling words of Patrick Jane (Simon
Bakar) who was playing a role as consultant in California Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) an American police procedural television series THE
MENTALIST.
WELCOME OR GOOD BYE: WILL MISS YOU ALL. |
My room burst out with the nokia ringtone. The image of
Sonam Dorji with his number flashed out on my mobile screen. I hit the space
bar and received his call. He wanted me to do some programming stuff for his
friend. I never was better in this so called programming and my craven instinct
hinted me to say no at that instant, but he was persuasive. His tone seems so genuine.
“Auufff I forgot both matlab and C programming” I reacted. I was so embarrassed.
I knew that he noticed, but I tend to be normal saying sorry. He broke out with a huge laughter, at that very
instant I felt that tones of weight had been removed from my chest but I was
more embarrassed this time. He is laughing at my incompetency? “Come on Sonam
every one forgets” was what I was about to shout at, enshrouding my
incapability. But before that he said we are organizing a farewell party for
three of you. I was excited and relieved too. He wanted us to be ready by 11 am
on April 6, 2013.
THE VERY GATE THAT WELCOMED US |
It was only on this day, it triggers my mind and reminded me, of the time for good bye. It brought me a sigh of joy and
sadness too. Joy because it’s time to close another chapter of life with coming
convocation (long awaited dream indeed!) and enter to another stage of life, and
sad because I have to part with my indispensable wonderful friends and Alma
mater which has moulded and shaped my life at the impressionable stage of my
life.
Four long years had gone with the blink of eye. How short is
our life? I can’t believe that I will be leaving this place. Somewhere in corner
of my heart it still whispers that I had been here only yesterday. But that
yesterday counts to eight semester of six month each. I wish I could stop the striking
time, but the cruel hand of clock won’t dare to do it.
To my juniors, we don’t have better adjective that we can
think of at this time other than Thank you. Thank you so much for whatever you
have done. We were so proud to have you all. Thanks for your presents and
gifts. It was staggering. It was heartbreaking. It was so wonderful.
To Vanathy and Vibu
you were always there for us. Your presence added extra flavor yesterday. I for
one was so happy that you were present there. We are from different regions and
came at different times but our fate forge the way to this close and we shall never
forget for your kindness.
The journey of life changes with sharp turn ahead, but your
names are engraved in our heart, and we shall treasure it forever.
