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 8th 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

Truly emotional......... Feeling like to cry after reading this. Farewell has always been an emotional event for me and that is why I have always tried to ignore everything related to farewell but never thought even in wildest dreams that something of this kind may happen.
Anyway, apart from emotional content, if I have to make a comment on this blog, I will say you have come out as a winner in conveying your feelings through this blog and my wet eyes are proof of the same. keep writing, but this time try to write something different (I mean something on lighter side). Your last two blogs are really in a heavier side:-)
hmmmm kitne moments and kitni baaten .. ye blog nahi hota toh kaise ye bahar aate.. bhala ho blog banaane walo kaa..
Ha ha ha.. As your wish Vishal. Next time you will read something different.
Thanks Vikas for giving your time. Main to kahunga ki bhala ho blog padney walo ka kyoki unkey bina sub kuch adhura hai.
so i think every bye should be a special bye so that we dnt regret about it later,
i really like the style of ur writing and flow of the article you write, ur writing skill are so realistic that i feel i have an image of the incident in front of me.
Thanks siddz for your comments. You are right. If you are writing anything it should be in such a way so that reader's mind must not divert from your story.
We don't think about small small incidents which almost happen daily in our life.We must grab the experience from those incident.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ITS TRULY EMOTIONAL BUT DON'T SAY GOOD BYE TO EVERYONE LIKE FOREVER ONLY SAY "FIR MILENGE"
Shivam,
