And i was expected to cry at the GB farewell. I had finished shedding tears at the beginning of final year itself and my friends were on the lookout for another burst as they all had missed the first one. However, i was happily talking to my juniors and consoling my batchmates that evening.
After that day too, there have been many times when I expected myself to come close to tears but surprisingly have not. That day at the farewell, i wish i had a tear in my eye to show that i cared that we were leaving. Tears express the extent of emotions. but i had no tear, only a smile. I dont know what has changed in me but surely this is not the normal Mad.
It somehow feels inadequate to dissolve into tears now. This parting requires much more than a few drops of salt water. And i am overcome with emotions to such an extent that i dont feel miserable that i wont have my closest pals with me in a couple of months. I dont feel that familiar knot in my throat when i am reminded of something that happened in these 4 years. I just feel calm, like a transparent ghost absorbing the happenings in an unconcerned manner.
It does not feel human.

Just shows that you are normal.
I mean, with the zillion ways available to keep in touch, it's really hard to believe the phrase "Will we ever meet again??".
And believe me, in a month or two you will be so engrossed with your present and future that past will look like some distant memory ( if you have time to think about it)
So, enjoy while it lasts :-)
