Let's just not say Goodbye

The bygone memories and the present emotions! Both are powerful works of bliss.
Those dewy-eyed looks from the people you love gets you nostalgic. You look at them and feel how grateful you are to have people who make such moments so beautiful and goodbyes so hard.
And then?
And then, people like me, write.
I'm doing the same.

Okay so lets not get cheesy here and start off with the Atankwadis.

Shivangi (Gemini) :
First meet : This is what I remember - There's a girl named Shivangi and she's sick AND she'll probably get you sick too AND she doesn't get out for interactive sessions AND she gets food in her room itself AND I need to go to her room "pair dabane k liye" AND then I get scolded by seniors "pair nhi dabane ke liye". Who in the world would want to meet this girl in the first place!
Message:
You've inspired me to write, that too about you! Feel proud.
I should be the first one to meet your husband to tell him that he has been talked about by this girl every single day of our 4 years together.


Chuta (Another Gemini, duh!)
Pranam Brother!
First meet : I'm in my hostel room, watching all the mess that the room was and waiting for a 'Shweta Tripathi" to enter the room as my roommate and there you are - standing on the entrance - the most malnourished girl in the room!
Message :
You've been amazing brotha! College 'tragedies' wouldn't be as fun as they were, without you.
But lets get things straight - once I get out of the premises, I'll be deleting you. You need to call in order to get yourself out from the recycle bin.
Or else,
"Bhoolna mat bhoolna".
Don't miss me. I won't.


Radha (Thakeli)
First meet : you experienced something paranormal in your room once. You then came running to us to spit it out.
Message:
I know you love me.
Get through that bloody GATE and join me. Fast!
I love you back.


Richa kushwaha (heroine)
First meet : Hey! Hey you! chipkali se dar nhi lagta na? Toh mere room ki bhaga do!
Message:
Frankly, you need to figure out a way to live without Jyoti.


Juhi Rastogi (Chacha Seth)
First meet : I see you, you glance me back. The 3rd person says," you can be roommates!".
I glance you again. You look at me.
"I'm screwed", thinks both of us.
Message : I still can't get over with the care you offer.
Don't get mad on your kid if he scores 96% instead of a 97%.
When someone calls you fat, exhale!


Jyoti Singh
First meet : I get out of my room. You get out of yours and we watch each other.
"We've got to be friends", say our minds.
Message :
Keep your wits in place and you'll reach heights.



Dolly Kumari (Doll)
I love the way you've always kept the best version of yours for me. I get the best hugs from you.
Little devil, you're cute.


Smita Gupta (Gandhi)
Bucked up for the professional life huh? In the course do not lose out the real you (tota dance has been counted in the list too).


Ekta Nishad (Mother Teresa, gigi)
Mummmmmaaaaaaaaa!!!
You once made a dragon look cute. Take this as a metaphor for your life.
Your friendship is an inspiration. Stay the same, girl.



Now for the extended Atankwadis

Shalini Singh (It's funny how I never named you. SHALINI, yeah that's fine with me!)
First meet: I asked you for water in the computer lab.
Message:
If this Biotechnology thing doesn't work out, lets just become writers instead!
"For you, a thousand times over" to you too miss!


Aishwarya Singh
Wait! (you know for what).
Your care is a hope in disguise to this world. Never lose it.
And yes, people WILL stare you (thanks to those bloody features that your face holds), just put the glares on and walk on like a egoistic bitch.


Lavanya
Hi miss! We have a new journey ahead. Lets just get to that now!

Pooja Verma (BHAI)
We met a little late but the time spent with you has been amazing.
The lean on wala dance will be missed.
Shaadi pr aa jaongi mai lehenga pehenkr!

Swati Chaudhary

Vishwendra
Stop over-thinking stuff.
Continue with the shairis and stay happy!

Nitin
Never noticed you in the beginning, but once I did, I was impressed.

Yawan
You and Nitin are an inspiration. I'd love to see this friendship prevail over anything else.

Prashant
You're a great human being. Keep writing and stay in touch.

For a reader like me, how exciting it is to reach the end of a well written literature! After all the time of ceaseless reading stretches, finally it's coming to an end and the best part is that while you're happy to complete the book, there's something that holds you back and you suddenly don't want to finish it. Closing a book is a mixed feeling of triumph and "why did it finish so early?"
Ending of college seems to me as an end of a favorite novel.
