It is surprising how fast one gets used to things and to people.
Chats near the coffee machine become a routine and pulling
one another's leg becomes a habit.
And memories of the friendly group. A dimpled smile,
a curly head shaking in vehement disagreement, a voice with
a charming regional accent, eyes that crinkle in a welcome smile,
hands that spin your revolving chair to startle you, the chorus of
giggles as someone gives a deadly accurate imitation of your voice,
a booming laugh that earns stares of disapproval, a trademark cap
and dozens of other insignificant details that evoke the fun times
spent together.
Parting is inevitable, so
I will try not to feel blue.
Outside, heaps and heaps of jhendu flowers glow in the golden
sunlight, while bright colours splash joy on doorsteps. : )
HAPPY DIWALI !
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!!
diwali,
parting,
new year,
friends
