Things to Do – Part 2

It is that time of the year when you would be bidding your farewell to a lot of people you spent time with. Some say First Impression matters, I say

"Last impression is the final impression"

MBA life has been very transaction oriented in nature, many people you met just needed something from you and you needed something from them, once the business was done the relationship ended or went dormant.  Amidst all this dirt and muck you must have come across a few crazy diamonds, crazy enough to call "friends". You might have a friend for everything else you do, foodie friend, social media friend,’ music and stuff’ friend and what not ; but this diamond person is someone who has just been there always and forever (after all diamonds are forever: P). Have you seen a diamond ring judge you? , no right!!, these diamonds / constants are the true gems of your life. They just stayed watching silently, like a secret guardian, like the Dark Knight. They probably have seen you cry, and deep down they just cried with you but on the outside wore a smile, they could see you make mistakes but just stood by to make you learn the hard way, they just let you be yourself, untouched and pure. They are rare, don’t let them fade away.

Go back in time a couple of years and just remember the good times and bad times(specially the bad times because only when it is dark enough , the stars show up ) and some faces will appear who were just stuck in your thoughts and in everything else,who were there every time you needed them to be ; these faces  are the diamonds/constants of your life. Remember all the quality time you have spent with them , hold them close , tell them how much they mean to you and thank them for every single instance they stuck out and you will come across a smile so warm and heart melting that you might even cry(you can thank me later) .

I remember how after chicken pox a person (won’t name you ) offered to go that extra mile to help me , I remember that person who would just listen to all the cribbing I had to do and just give the best advice. I remember that person who partied with me when nobody would, I remember that person who with a smile would make my day, I remember that person who would just offer me to teach guitar and be my punching bag, I remember that person who even after all the personal troubles would always smile and give me the best advice. I remember those persons who made Scandi happening, I remember that person who literally saved me in Germany and that person who kept me fed in Europe. Most of all I remember that #one single person who didn’t and couldn’t let me go, even when the odds were against.

In a nutshell, go break your precious bubble and let go of any reason holding you back, do what is just and right(be a little less selfish) and spend whatever time is left with these constants because frankly speaking nothing else matters and it’s time to polish those diamonds. Somewhere down the line I did forget and made a lot of my friends unhappy, so here I am doing the one single thing I should have done a long time ago #JustLive

For all other non-serious stuff read this other entry I wrote during the final days of BTech.
