Send off

Emotional Send off…..

Yes it was an emotional last working day for me…well more than me for the people who have known me for long. I was in mixed emotional state of finally meeting my girl it was over an year’s wait and every time we meet its like a vacation, I was happy and excited that we’d be staying together setting up home etc etc. On the other hand little nostalgic about the years I worked here. My parents getting sentimental about the stay and my friends asking me when I will come back for which I had no answer.

There were also people who come up with these brilliant exclamations… “Couldn’t wait huh? You had to go the same day you finished working here”, “someone is desperate to meet”, “hell bent to go to US uh?”...Smile or nodding to what they say was my reaction. I love these people they are perfect for lateral thinking if you ask me but if only they did this thinking over their decisions.

In my farewell lunch I discovered a poor soul’s grudge on me on having moved closely with the person he wanted to talk???(yes just talk :P). The girl was in the team for a very short period and I was best friends with her, much to the dislike of many other colleagues including my wife as I discover from other incidents narrated by wife. Well this guy all along showed his keen interest in knowing my love story and was puzzled why it didn’t work out with his dream sweetheart. He is unlucky not to read the myfariest-lady blog and also if only he’d be the man to speak up to a girl he’d not be crying/cribbing over so much.

Anyways I am not here to teach someone but it feels really good to pinch someone without knowing if only had I known I would have raised the expectations even more. Later that evening had a farewell party at office… where everyone speaks good about me and it happened the same way but much to my surprise there were more tears than words.. Completely swept off by the affection I share with them. I surely will be missed and I’ll miss them too. Blame the Boss I was prepared to stay :-p

Now for the climax, at the airport my parents in laws and my dear friends.... me assuring my parents I will back soon and assuring my in laws that I’ll take care of their daughter and to my friends I was listening and fooling around, it was a good send off until I took my luggage and stepped inside at the entrance everyone stopped by and there was huge emotional burst and especially that of my friends which over took my parents.. They were little shocked by the reaction their son was getting and my in laws seeing their son in law among the thick of emotions from their daughter best friends :P and my wife was surprised and puzzled that why didn’t I get such a reaction when I left…?

I being myself was showing all my teeth for the most of the above and was eager to get out on the flight. C’mon People you all have seen me long enough I need someone to tell me how much I miss home: P
