Farewell.

I’m not close to or attached to anyone here in particular. But living in such a small community, were all like a family. Everyone knows each other well, though you don’t really talk, we have each other’s back. I always call them as my “Little Dharwad family” and that’s really what it feels like.

We’ve known since ages that we’ll be the last Malaysian batch sent here, but out of a sudden, in our final year God send us the amazing 12 boys who somewhat changed the dull atmosphere of the Dharwad community that’s getting smaller. They’re lively, bubbly, they made everyone happy, including me.

Like I said, it’s unfortunate that our goodbye came earlier than expected. Though I might not show it to any of them, I am actually deeply saddened that they have to leave for somewhere else, and I know they do too. The last 3 of them left a week ago.

And tomorrow, the seniors will be leaving. The time we dread the most is finally here - being the very last and only batch here in Dharwad. Once they left, the Dharwad family is left with only 13 members. From 50+ to 40+ to 30+ then to 40+ again and now, 13.

It’s not this place that I’m gonna miss when I leave, it’s all of you, the ones who share the same boat, who saved the stormy oceans together with me. I wish all of you all the best, and I can’t wait to also bid my farewell to this place.
