MY THOUGHTS

Last Goodbyes are always the hardest

Last goodbyes are always the hardest.

I remember when I had to leave Chandigarh after 7 years it felt like I'm cheating on Chandigarh. Chandigarh has been a very dear friend. It has taught me everything. I still remember 2013, when I first landed Chandigarh. It felt like amazing. I sure had no idea, how these 7 years are gonna change my life completely. That college classes, those late night rides, that first crush, that first heartbreak, that first fight. The friends I made in these 7 years were a bunch of assholes but have always stayed with me. We still talk about college A LOT. We still miss those sutta breaks, in my defense Microprocessors was a tough subject. That late night hostel parties, playing Daler Mehndi was a ritual followed by dancing like crazy. I bet we can compete with pro dancers.

Then years went by and suddenly it was the final semester. We all got internships and we thought we would make it work. We used to visit campus every weekend and used to enjoy the last semester. Days, weeks, months went by and we did it every weekend until one day, we all got a job and it felt like everything was falling like dominoes. We still used to meet, once a month, but it was all about office this, office that and suddenly we stopped meeting. It's been 3 years since we last met and it sure feels like a lifetime but all those countless memories we had in Chandigarh is still there in that park, on those benches, in that hostel room, in those classrooms, in Chandigarh.

I sure left Chandigarh but Chandigarh couldn't left me. Here's to those amazing memories, beautiful roads, serene sky and probably a million more things, I miss you Chandigarh.

Whatever I am, whatever I intend to be, it is because of you.
