''What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks disappearing? - It's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."-- On the Road, Jack Kerouac
I stumbled upon these lines today as I was searching for a book to read and couldn't get them out of my head ever since. You can blame my present ‘’grounded in bed’’ state (all thanks to a really bad fever and a more worried mom) for these particularly melancholic thoughts. And if you are hoping to find some unusually sensible stuffs here, this post is no different.It is nothing more than another of my many odd musings ;)
Goodbyes are something that has always been very difficult for me and something that's happening too often and too quickly these days.The last being for one of the best times I ever had and may be the shortest too.The days of my ILP training….It's one of those times I wish I could just return to and also one of those about which I would like to change absolutely nothing…It was perfect in a way, unexpectedly so! Perhaps it has given me more than what I expected..It taught me some lessons the hard way which my 4 years of college life couldn't..gave me some friends for life time….a new direction of thought …made some old friends even closer…. some self realizations..my first salary….some great moments of careless innocent fun ,an unforgettable new-year and much more…
These lines from ‘on the road’ exactly suffices my thoughts on the day I was at the railway station, all packed for home..It was one of those moments when I knew that I was actually bidding good-bye and there is no coming back ...But still there are no regrets coz it has given me some of the most wonderful gifts to carry forward for my next crazy venture…
And to all those people who gave me one of the best days of my life : u guys are simply awesome…and all those moments of laughter , smiles , pranks , silly jokes ,those night strolls ,food fights, times at the coffee machine ,the combined studies, and those fun at hostel wouldn’t have been this special hadn’t it been coz of you people…And though I might not get to meet many of u again, the memories you all gifted is priceless..:)…and I still secretly hope that someday I would just bump into some of you and we could just start off the conversation from where we stopped... after all, to expect the unexpected is something that life has taught me these last few months :)
