And as the taxi pulled away
tears rolled down my cheeks...
The moment I had dreaded of
Stood still in front of me!
The day seemed a blur
But it made things much clear
Obtaining the ICC from PSM seemed a task
But after obtaining it began the real agony..
the pain that was hidden behind a mask,
For a lifetime which would last!
Went to acad to submit those papers
And to my horror they told me
"ID submit kara"
Didn't know this would be such a heart-wrecking moment
I submitted my ID with much resent
He put across it a big cross with a blue pen
And at that moment it seemed like a sword!
As if cutting off the umbilical cord
As if stripping off my identity!
In a moment, all seemed lost
And I wandered out of the office
helpless, aimless, worthless....
When the ICC came signed
Felt the bad times are over,
Cuz Internship was done forever!
But who knew...
the pain of leaving college would sting harder
Walked out of gate number nine
To find a taxi to carry back all that was mine
all my "sansaar"... as I called it always
from hostel to home...
blessed was the moment
when on my way back to hostel
i met my teacher from 1st yr
who was all praises for me..
i wondered aloud..
"i couldn't have been what i am
wihout teachers like you mam"
grateful to such souls
who have appreciated and inspired me
to work hard and stand strong!
she also mirrored my feelings
of the painful farewells that have to be...
The packing the day before,
had already made me nostalgic...
With one of my bff leaving,
Had made me cry loads alone...
To think of leaving campus, the hostel
The fun days, the sad days
The exam days, the outings
The college fests, the fiascos
All just pooled up
The memories of five and half yrs
Made me feel burdened....
The path ahead seemed more difficult
Than it ever had...
And my heart screeched with every tick of the clock
I belong to this place, this is my identity
This is my second home, this is my alma mater,
My friends here are my second family...literally..
How am I gonna leave this space, this comfort zone?
With so much happening in the day
The time came to lock my room
Might be it was forever!
My bestie asked me...
"How's this moment feeling?"
And within seconds it felt
That I would burst into tears
And the volcano of emptiness would erupt!
But she pulled me away saying
"i am kidding, chal ab jaldi I fear your rotlu face"
There was no time left to express
All the emotions that had been supressed
The taxi had arrived and putting all the things in
My bestie bid me farewell as soon as she could
To save me and her from our saddest mood
Trying to be at her bravest best
She did not spill a tear, not even a farewell word
My puppy face I let her see
but knowing the emotional me,
she rushed through a hug
And suggested "taxi me baith ke ji bhar ke ro lena"
I just sat inside amazed
Wow I didn't cry!
Waving the final goodbye
To all the happy and sad moments seen...
To all the buildings that passed by...
That were a part of the era that has been
all the emotions choked up my throat..
And as the taxi pulled away
tears rolled down my cheeks...
tears rolled down my cheeks...
The moment I had dreaded of
