Its time to say good bye...

Two colleagues and my little sister..

I hate to say "Bye.. Stay in touch" to my close ones when my they are moving to a different place or if I have stayed at
a place for a days and I am to leave. I should not be saying hate, but I feel really sad.

This week was a "GoodBye" week to two of my colleagues and another colleague's sister with whom I got very friendly in the last few months. Both my colleagues are leaving for the USA. Even though I never spent much time with them I generally am feeling sad.. thats the way I generally feel when I have to part from people. I know thats how life goes on... we meet people, make friends then part and another group of friends and the cycle goes on. Till a few years back this "mourning" period used to go on for a a few days but now it lasts for a day maybe. I remember how depressed I was when I had to return from Manali, where I had spent 4 days with my family when I was a kid. I have grown up now :)

And Jahnavi, my colleagues sister - I met her around six months back. She had come to stay with him here in Hyderabad to prepare for her exams which are due in April. We spent good time together,mainly we shared many cooking sessions . The lovely meal preparations from from a little girl of her age were amazing.. especially the "junbais". Junbai in assamese means "half moon". Junbai is like a biscuit in the shape of half moon. She is generally a quiet girl but as she says "its difficult for people not to laugh or talk when you are around". (I dont know still if thats a compliment or a comment. :)). She is leaving day after tomorrow for her home in Assam. She must be really happy about getting back home after so long but I really feel like holding her back with me. I wish my pretty little sister all the best in life and I hope she overcomes any and everything that comes her way. Be happy always, Jahnavi :)
