FAREWELL MY FRIENDS


HIS IS THE LAST BLOG WHICH I WRITE FROM NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY, JODHPUR, 

DEAR ALL,

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
and the bells in the steeple, too and up in the nursery an absurd little bird
is popping out to say coo-coo …..
 Regretfully they tell us but firmly they compel us to say goodbye to you …So long farewell…. I hate to go and leave this pretty sight……. Adieu, adieu to you and you and you…..

These are words of song “So Long Farewell” from the movie sound of music but so true are they.  

GOOD – BYE TO ALL OF YOU………..

It has been great and fabulous two and half years studying with you and as I type the last message to all  my friends  I know that future is bright for all of us. 

I wish everyone the best in life and to have a fabulous life and a great life and to enjoy each and every moment of life (as one of my favorite poets Rabindranth Tagore, had once said to count the moments just as a butterfly does and due to which he has time enough) just as we have enjoyed each and every moment spent with each other.

 I will cherish these moments all of my life. 

With heavy heart I bid adieu to all of you and would like to bid farewell with the English Translation of Rabindranth Tagore Poem "Purano Sei Diner Katha" (Remembering the old days)


The memories of the good old days
Can you ever forget it?
It was seen by our eyes, was voice of our life
Can it ever be forgotten?
Come back once more, my friend
Come and be a part of my life
We will talk of smiles and tears
And will feel very good about it
Together we have plucked flowers in the dawn
Together we have spent hours on the swing
Together we have played the flute
Sang the songs under the shade
We parted in between, never knew where we went
If again I see you someday,
Come and be a part of my life.

GOOD BYE –SAYONARA – TATA --- ALL OF YOU……

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna ………….Chalte Chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna ….Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

Adieu to you my friend.

My memoirs in National Law University, Jodhpur.

Today is the last night at National Law University, Jodhpur where I have spent two and half years of my life in pursuing a maters degree course by the name of MBA –LLM.

I still remember the day when I had come to this college and the as to how I was mentally fragile but slowly as the time went by I became more and more strong not by myself but by making some great friends and spending great moment with each other which I can never recount or those moments which would never come back to me.

So  many myths where broken during my two and half years and especially about friendship and I again realized that friendship  is  not a gift which has to be acquired and gained and these friends again made me believe myself and for which I would be always thankful to them.

I again got back an old - lost friend and that was my music, which some-how I had lost it and for that I would be always thankful and will always cling to that. 

Some-how I had fallen in love with this beautiful city of Jodhpur, which is really a romantic city filled with tales of the past of great valor and a city with which you really want to fall in love and most beautiful was the setting of the college among, the old mountains of  the past, which has always fascinated me and most romantic  was the chugging of the train cutting the silence of the night, of how I loved that sound and how would I miss it. It is a place where you want to fall in love hope-lessly.

On this night as I get ready to leave this place, my mind is racing back to all those moments spent and for which I have no words as some thoughts have to be said unsaid and unspoken as words  destroy the beauty of the moment.

Adieu National law University, Jodhpur and thank-you for making me and also for the transition as I have understood one thing over here that, that college is not about studying but about having friends  and I have had some wonderful moments which I can never explain.

I would like to remember you in that way in which a lover remembers his first love in that just that way the exuberance of youth never dies, just as old wine is always sweeter, just as the sweetness of the first song of the bird of the morning, just as the freshness of morning dew...............

You where not a college for me but a friend to me and will always remain that way.
