How do I put into words the anguish that eats at me? How do I describe the sadness I feel about thee? Been an year or more since the last we met, an unerring support you were to set…
A friend in need, a friend indeed; But a friend now become two, losing you is now to very rue..!
Know not I if we will remain close… A brother, a sister are what I’ll always remember at the close.
Really silly, actually, when I’ve been out of college for nearly two years now.
In my last post, you read about the friend whose wedding I attended in Kolkata. Well, he’d come to Goa with him wife this last week, and he’s leaving today. It feels all over as if college has just broken and everybody’s leaving for their own homes.
And somehow, for some unknown reason, it feels absolutely devastating! Add my uncertainties to it, and you get a mega mess of sentiments swirling out of control so vividly, a PnJ sandwich seems less messy.
I don’t know when we’ll meet again, whether we’ll be able to keep in touch now he’s married and has a new family, and most importantly, if we’ll remain good friends as we once were… Whether we are good friends as we once were!
But, life moves on. It should! Or it’ll give nothing but worry to my parents and ire to my sister. So I’ve made a list of how life moves on. It’s falling a little short, however, and I hope to supplement as I go on:
1. Join a new gym! – I’ve found this gym which offers lose 9kg in 9weeks kind of thingy… I’m thinking about joining it IF my sis or a friend or ANYONE at all gives me company. Going to new gyms freaks me out!!!
2. My new novel..! – Oh yeah! You’ve read the little excerpts I’ve written haven’t you? I’m expanding it, turning it into a full-fledged book, with the only problem being my office timings and my writing timings clashing! Grr...!!
3. Jogging? – That’s a BIG question. I used to go jogging every evening for some time just before leaving for the wedding. But lately since coming back, I’ve just lacked the energy.
Ditto with the morning walks.
4. Sister Time! – It’s about time I start to devote myself to my sister. Di, or DD Cheque as I call her (she was my bank account during my college days) will be out of here soon. How many days have I left with her here now?
5. New Wedding! AND the grand summary of it all, some other friends will be getting married soon, and I have THAT to look forward to!
And add to it all that I’m still looking to job-shift. Am I sounding pathetic or what! But anyway…
Life moves on, it won’t wait for me to catch up just because I’m mourning my college days. And besides, I wouldn’t even want to go back to those college days. As good as they were, the days that followed after it ended taught me life’s reality.
Life’s importance with respect to having your parents close by, caring for them in the simple way of being there at home just because they want you to…
Life’s importance in having a suitable job, when you know you can easily earn double what you’re earning right now if you take on a simpler job but not bring able to do so because you need to work according to your qualifications!
Life’s importance about always being there when it moves on. Because in the long run if you wait back, you’re the one to lose.
And no matter what may happen, Peridot SSOGGO will never be classified as a loser. That’s a promise.
