Farewells

I Spidey

A: Sunscreen laga li?

S: Hahaha, Haan bahut si. Chal nikalta hoon. (Awkward half a side-hug)

A: Chal. Pahunchkar chhitthi likhna.

S: Hehe.

A turns and walks back to the hostel gate as the auto pulls away, hoping that he doesn’t run into anyone before he reaches his room.

II Mishu

M: Chal yaar bye bye.

A: (Lying on his stomach on his bed, totally shocked to see a formally dressed Mishu
waking him up) Ja raha hai?

M: Yup, bye bye.

A: (Still half asleep, puts out his hand for a handshake)

M: Chal so ja, bye.

As sleep clouds his mind again, A thinks damn, is this how I am gonna say goodbye to mishu? The thought stays, but sleep refuses to return.

M: Tu kahan ja raha hai?

A: Holistic jaoonga yaar, tu nikal.

M: Theek hai. Chal bye.

A: (Raises both his hands in a weird un-wave) Bye

Damnit,damnit, damnit.

A to world: IS there a non-gay way for guys to bid non-pathetic farewells?

A few more farewells to go. Why was I not the first one to leave?

Welcome to adult life, chapter one. It sucks.

Farewell friends, you shall always be my bitches.

Farewell

Taking my stories off-net this tuesday. A big thank you to all my readers, and to those who left the site without reading a word but still gave me the satisfaction of an inflated hit-count.

I will probably replace this with a standard,non-fiction, random rants blog.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
