So long

What are the ten hardest things I have ever had to do?

Letting go.

That's it. Its letting go all the other 9 times as well. I am bidding adieu to chennai.THe place i hvae lived and loved all these years.No matter how far I am, no matter how happy i am, This is the place i will feel complete for this is home.

The hardest thing about goodbye is you know its something you just gotta do. Howmuch ever you convince yourself that the day will just never come and that you will be frozen in a time capsule, the day does dawn. You need to go on. You need to move on.

I am not saying goodbye in the real sense of the word casue i am not going anywhere. I am always going to be living here. I am leaving the most precious part of me here. Other's memories of me. And I am taking the most precious part of me there. My memories of everybody and everything.

Kuch apnane ke liye kuch chodna padhtha hai,
They are the end result of the choices one makes. one cannot but live with it.
Memories are what we are left with when we have left everything go!

nivi.. i like the way u play around with words like they are lego blocks..

Sure.. memories are something u wanna hold on to when you leave.. and u wanna keep reinforcing the images of what u dont wanna forget in your head cause in the end, when ur alone in bed during the night, these memories are going to be the ones that push you over the edge into sleep..

Hey Nivi.. that was a great ay to start… As always your start was just amazing.. “ten hardest things” and “letting go all the other nine times as well”… yeah that’s a very hard thing to do… Home yeah nothing like home nothing like Chennai eh?.. Ask that to a guy who has been away from home for the past 7 years.. .. can totally relate to it
And yeah the “stupid” good bye always comes and these two lines especially got me “you will be frozen in a time capsule, the day does dawn. You need to go on. You need to move on”.. brilliantly put… only you can convey zillion meanings through one sentence… :),, simply too good…and the oxymorons ( if I may call it that way.. ).. were just mind blowing in the last paragraph… super.. too good da… memories always are to be cherished.. for that’s all there will be na.. shortest blog of yours but it can be no one else but you who can convey so much in such a few lines… hats off buddy!!!

and all the best for the road ahead... for the place you are gonna make your second home..

I have nothing to say except this:

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
-J.K.Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

For what you think you are leaving behind is not a memory, it is reality. We live inside our heads, don't we? And you can never 'leave' reality, anymore than you can leave yourself.

Nivi said...

Thats my favorite line in the book!!!

I must give it to you there! Nah we dont leave reality. The moments just leave us luckily leaving behind an indelible mark!!

I know how that feels like -- but don't worry, you will be churning more memories in your new destination, wherever it may be. Memories are the things that keep us going.
