‘GOOD-BYE’ a simple farewell remark or an Unforgettable moment.

GOOD-BYE”, a lovely word that means a lot for the life of each and everyone. It is true that we use this word so frequently in our daily life but it is also true that we have forgotten the sense of this beautiful word.

Whenever we go away or we leave office, simply a word good-bye comes out from all of us. 

How do you react, if today you say good-bye to a person and that is your last good-bye to him/her?

Shocked??  

Yes the same incident has happened with me.

He was not in the list of my best friends but we studied together in the same class.  Rashid, yes this was the name of that boy. Blue eyes, fair color, dark black hair and nobody can forget the beautiful smile that always appears on his face. He was very shy and this might be the reason he used to sit near the last corner seat of the class.

I undoubtedly remember that Rashid used to come to the class before anybody comes. Other boys always fought for the front desks but he never used to sit on the front desks even he used to come first in the class.

Only 15 days were remaining for our summer vacations, all we were very happy. We just finished our 8^th class examinations. We used to study 15 days for the next level before the summer vacation.

When I reached school it was 7:30 in the morning. I was very much exited about the summer vacations, which was going to start from tomorrow.

After the last class we met with each other. I personally wished each and every one. On one hand I was very happy for summer vacation but other hand was bit sad because of going away from my friends.

I saw Rashid, he was looking outside of the class. He was not seems to be happy for summer vacation. 

I took my steps towards him. Hey Rashid, What are your plans for vacations? I asked, nothing Shivam, he replied.

Are you not going home? I asked again.I shall go Shivam. I am waiting for math teacher for next year tuition.

Oh! Carry on then, I replied.

I remember the moment when I was returning to the home.

I shouted, hey Rashid “GOOD-BYE”, Happy Vacations. 

He passed his beautiful smile and replied, GOOD-BEY Shivam. Happy vacations you too.

Next day morning my father told me that one of the kids from my class met with an accident while coming out from school.

An unbalanced truck dashed with that kid.

After vacation when I reached school. I didn’t see Rashid in the class. He was the one who always used to come before anybody else. I was bit surprised.

Suddenly a beautiful smile of Rashid and the word “GOOD-BYE” appeared in my mind.  I was able to engrave the whole situation in my heart.

Oh God! It was Rashid.

Tears came out from my eyes. Rashid’s face was appearing again and again in front of me. I moved towards the seat where Rashid used to sit. I was feeling that his voice was still echoing in my ears and saying “GOOD-BYE”, “GOOD-BYE”, “GOOD-BYE”

14 yeas have been passed after this incident but Rashid’s face is still fresh in my mind. That echo of “GOOD –BYE” is still present in my heart.

Whenever I say “GOOD-BYE” to anybody, it always memories me the smiley face of Rashid. 

Nothing more to say but now you can choose what to say

‘GOOD-BYE’ is a simple farewell remark or an Unforgettable moment.

Never let your heart break. Keep smiling…

Heartbreak is a very strange distress. It is exquisitely painful, and yet we cannot find an injury on our body. It is like one big emotional pain but it also seems to spark off hundreds of other emotions. We hate the feeling of heartbreak, and yet we find ourselves compelled to go over and over memories, ideas or fantasies, which make the feeling worse.

I still have a clear view of the time when my heart was broken first time in my life. I realized the pain, grief and distress inside my broken heart, which is bit difficult to express. Lets take you to the days of my childhood. I was 6-year-old very funny and active kid. I hardly used to request for anything from my parents.

One day I was in my class. Teacher was telling us a story of 3 kids. They go to the circus and do lot of enjoyment. “CIRCUS” was the new word for me. I didn’t hear about the circus before. I asked my teacher, “What is this circus mam?” She explained this word in such way that I couldn’t control myself to see the circus in reality.

Whole night I was dreaming about the colorful and amazing story of circus. So many animals were dancing. Jokers were showing their amazing and funny shows. I was very much excited to see the circus. Next day I started asking my father, “Papa circus jana hai, Joker dhekney hai.”  My father didn’t know the feeling that had actually started coming in my heart. He simply replied, Circus who told you about that? My English teacher, I replied.

She told me everything about circus. I want to see the circus papa. My voice became gruff. Papa was looking at me like I had asked for very amazing thing. How could my father bring me to the circus? But I couldn’t understand that. I was 6-year-old little kid. 

Papa tried a lot to convinced me. But my heart had already developed a colorful picture of circus in my mind. I was not getting convinced. Atlast Papa said, “I would bring you to the circus in the evening.”

His approch for convincing me was pefect but he didn’t know the feelings that had built up like an Everest in my heart.

Whole day I was thinking about the circus. I was not able to give the concentration on my class. I was waiting for the evening. I told all of my friends that I was going to circus. I was very exited.

I was staring at the door. It was the pleasant moment for me when papa opened the door and entered inside. His eyes skimmed my face. He internally realized that I have not convinced yet.

After having his evening snacks. He called me. I was very happy. He said, “There is no circus in our city that’s why we are not going anywhere. Don’t cry. Go and play with your friends.”

I didn’t know what was happening to my little heart. A storm was coming inside the Everest of feeling.A little heart was broken.

It was the very tough moment, which cannot be described in words.

A smile comes to my face whenever that old moment comes to my mind. We actually don’t think about the current conditions. Whenever our heartbreak, our condition become like a small kids. If we analyse the situation and the current circumstances, we can come out of sadness and the feelings that we have developed in our heart.

Today, whenever my heartbreak or I feel sad. I recall that old moment and it always console me.

Never let your heart break. Keep smiling…

“SORRY!”… The word which is not limited to just a word of English dictionary…

Incidents happen in our life, which we simply ignore. Is it possible that one incident can change the meaning of the word “SORRY”, which we use so frequently in our daily life?  

Yes. For me this word is now not limited to just a word of English dictionary…

I saw my watch. It was telling me that I was already late to office. I had to cross the road to reach my destination. But it was huge traffic on the road. God knows what has happened to this beautiful city Bangalore. I was murmuring to myself and started crossing the road.

Suddenly I dashed into someone. I simply said “SORRY” (A normal word that comes to every human being when something happens wrong) and started walking towards my way. I was in a very delight mood and couldn’t analyze the upshot.

After crossing the road I found out one voice. Somebody was literally screaming. I turned back just to know what had actually happened? One man was lying in middle of the road and people were crossing him like he was not a human being. My heart started thumping wildly. 

I forgot that I was getting late to my office. I started running towards that person. One question was running in my mind that who was responsible for his situation. When I reached there and turned his face. OH My God!

He was the same whom I dashed just 5 min back. Blood was coming out from his mouth. Everything was now clear in my mind. When I scooted that person, he lost his balance and fall down to the road. For a pedestrian, signal timing was only for 2 min and everybody wanted to cross the road within that time that’s why nobody took care of him. Everybody smashed him like a toy.

Suddenly I saw one stick that was 5 feet away from that person. OH My God! One more shocked for me.

He was blind…

I was very depressed at that moment. I was the one who was responsible for his current condition. I called 2, 3 people for helping him out. Blood was unremittingly coming out of his mouth. I took him to the St. John Hospital. I was thanking to the GOD that hospital was very close to that place. After half an hour that person was perfectly alright and could talk easily.

When that person came to know that I took him to the hospital, he was very much delighted to me. I told him the whole story from starting to end.

While returning to the office I was thinking on the way, in spite of saying sorry to that person if I had balanced him then he would not have faced such a horrible situation.

When I reached to the office a full satisfaction was appearing on my face. I couldn't understand what had happened to me but later I realized that the word “SORRY” was not limited to just a word of English dictionary…
