Goodbye a word which must be hated by the lovers, a word loved by the students,a word feared by the employees, word which appears evil monster for children. Lovers tend to curse time, students taste freedom again when the teachers bid goodbye after the last lecture. Small children begin to cry if someone bids a goodbye to them. Such are the colours of goodbye...

There are many instances in life when we knowingly say goodbye to people, things. When we leave college or some random hangout place, we say goodbye to friends knowing that we will meet them the next day or someday. But sometimes goodbye is used unknowingly or lets just say goodbye happens...HOW ?

Do you remember the last time you rubbed the thermocol piece on a rough wall and enjoyed watching the snowballs out of it. Do you remember the last time you heard a bed time story from your mom. Do you remember the last time you had food fed to you by your mothers own hand. these and many more happen to be memories, habits of our childhood. But even we wont be able to say when we unknowingly said goodbye to these sweet habits.

No one knows when we do a things like that for the last time, when we are unknowingly saying goodbye to some thing we loved. the same happens with people. So what can we do about it ? Well i say enjoy everything you do as if you are doing it for the last time. we never know when someday life says GOODBYE to us unknowingly...

Gkam - Goodbye

Love the idea. Some gooodbyes you mentioned brought a smile initially and then I was engulfed in nostalgia. I am going to bug my mother for a story :D

All the best!

You've chosen a nice direction given the topic. Was about to say that you could have elaborated your post and fine tuned the choice of words. But came across your comment.

After reading this post, I realized that I have said goodbye to many things of past. But change is the only constant thing in life.
All the best! :)

Thought provoking, I should say. Nice to see your posts again. All the best!
