To My Dear Colleague Neena on Her Farewell

"Good byes are not forever"

But friends are forever

You are the fire that lit the torch inside me.

And harnessed my thoughts

As the poet says,

You are my friend, philosopher, guide

My nurturer and advisor

You are the chosen one,

Who like the scholar (reference to 'Scholar Gyspsy')

Is on your way out in search of knowledge,

The unquenched thirst can never stop you.

And who am I to do the sin by stopping you either?

But all that I can pen down is this...

A small gift of words that will be with you forever

And my prayers and well wishes

Together we can cherish those sweet memories

Memories are forever.

Though "good byes are not forever".
