So Long…Farewell…
We are after all visitors in each other’s life for just that brief moment and the time shared is what you make of it. Its time for me to leave for sea and I just thought I’d type this one last post before I leave, this is not me saying "Good-bye", its me saying "See you soon", coz I have never believed in good bye’s.
Leaving someone behind is not the easiest thing to do, I have been doing it for the past 10 years now and I still haven’t got used to the fact that it hurts, leaving family, friends, loved ones. Its just not something we get used to, yes after a while we get so immersed in our work that we forget all the initial pain of letting go, but then again occasionally the memories crop up again and we start missing everyone back home.
I am living my dream in every way, I am working as a marine engineer which was an ambition, so my job is not really work it’s another passion of mine. Working hard, traveling round the world, meeting new people, watching beautiful sunsets, the drawbacks well being away from loved ones then again I love the missing feeling too, but yeah if I would have it my way ill take them along someday :)
The shortage of love in the world is what inspired me to start writing.
You wonderful people who have been reading my heartfelt thoughts from time to time this is a personal thank you for all your wonderful views and encouraging comments. I have come across some beautiful thoughts myself ,in your blog’s. Everyone of you have a unique talent that you can call your own and that is exactly what makes people come back and read more of what you have to say. So keep voicing out your thoughts :)
Life is all about waking up each day, to discover something new,
About meeting old people, but making new conversations,
Walking through old roads, but still feeling nice about it,
Realizing that you have grown a day older, but still feeling young at heart,
Meeting busy schedules, but still finding time for old friends,
Being nostalgic about bygone days, but looking forward to better days,
Hoping that I could stay a day longer, yet managing to let go.

wow! that was beautiful!
"The shortage of love in the world is what inspired me to start writing"...so true...on the other hand, being a woman " I had so much Love to offer yet no takers, because of which i started writing".
yes its been quite long...i have so much to write that i dont know where to begin...thanks to you and other blogger friends who missed me so much...will surely start writing again.
I know ur long love" the sea" is awaiting u...I am sure u will have a wonderful time and i cant wait till u come back and share ur experiences with us.
see you soon..and God bless u .i am sure Tipsy will miss u the most!
Best wishes to you, Raj as you leave for the sea. Also congratulations on being able to do what you love- many people fail to pursue their dreams and have many regrets later in life. This will not be true for you.
God Bless & Keep You. :o)
You will be all right buddy.
Go and fly like a free bird. Go fly across the vast oceans. Go visit new lands.Go and cherish the golden sunset and the sultry winds.

True,life isnt about goodbyes...its about 'see you soon'.
Like Maximus says to Juba in Gladiator,"we shall meet sooner rather later.So goodbyes?Not yet,not yet."

beautiful post..! great blog..!
and u r leaving..?
:(
why dint you visit my blog earlier..?
Visitors we may be, but we do make a difference in anothers life, no matter how small, and I think that is what this life is all about. These brief interludes that when woven together makes for a blanket of memories that at times makes us laugh and then at times brings a tear or two.
"Not farewell, but fare forward."
T.S. Eliot
This is such a cool post ( Actually it gives a warm fuzzy feeling ! ) But I counter such emotional feelings using jokes ( sometimes extremely bad ones that you would rather have me cry instead of say that joke one more time ! )
Good luck and Bon Voyage !!

Hey Raj, that was wonderful!
Wishing you a great voyage..lots of wonderful meetings, discovering new places and a never ending thirst for seeking out more in your journey of life..

Wish the font was bigger... kinda difficult to read, you know ;)
Navy and being in the sea was my dream..always..never got to full fill it..but here is all the good luck for you..
your words remind me of this song.. it goes like this..
"pyaar bina jeena nahi jeena..
mujh se bichad na kabhi na...
tu hein sur mein hoon teri veena..
tujhse bechadke nahi jeena..."
passion rulz.. ehehe...
i wouldn't call it luck if the person has me... i'd just say they're stuck .. :D
Raj..sad to see you go even though I met u not so long ago. I am glad you have found what you are looking for and enjoy your wok, sometimes we go through a lifetime not knowing this. best of everything.
vrey touhing and truly heartfelt....
Bon Voyage
