Where is the "Good" in "Goodbye" ?!

GoodByes have become a part of todays life. And we use it too often now ..as we keep moving...moving on from one job to another...from one place to another...one country to another...and so on !!
But right from the time I was a child , I hated saying "GoodByes". They were always "Bad Byes" for me especially when I had to say Bye to friends and family whom I loved the most. .... (Now guys, Don't start laughing....!!)
I remember one of my friends going mad when I said I was scared to say "Bye" . But now, even when I have to say this often, I really get this funny habit of eluding this and instead rather saying "See You". But I suppose this has nothing to do with the word itself ..But I suppose it is linked to this pessimistic thought that keeps reminding you . that it might be forever !!!.
But  those true "Good byes" make you reflect on lots of other stuff....
They really do make you look back on what you've had, what you've lost and what you've been taking for granted. And they also tell you ...that if we ever feel sad to say good bye to someone , we need to be thankful that we have come across someone who was so good that it was hard to say good bye to them .
But I stick to my belief that "GoodByes " remind us that some people aren't meant to be in our lives forever. But that they are passing through our lives to bring us something... a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn ....  You'll have that gift forever.... though you have to say bye to the one who brought the gift !!

Goodbye till I come back again !!

It's funny, because 2010 has a special significance for me. I am always on the run and I think about how much faster time seems to go now and how it seems crazy that a few years back, I had fantasized about a life that I was not at all headed towards….
It's kind of every week turns out to be an eternity and it is too difficult to find a way out !!
Or is it so for everyone..??
Sometimes I feel I am tired running around with cancer patients… and then the rehabilitation programs , the awareness campaigns for which we travel miles on end, then again comes my doctoral research, the sleepless nights when I sit and write a blog while I download stuff for reviewing my thesis......

And the times I go crazy when I lose concentration in my work at the Research Centre….. and then the lecture classes I have to prepare with utmost care… the guest lectures at the university , my club activities…... seminars...oooohh !!! It really gets on my nerves ! Its just one person....doing all this !! And I wish I had wings and 10 hands to do things  and 4 more legs to stand on ,when these two legs of mine get tired !!
You can’t creep into bed at 2 am every night (Or is it morning ???!)
I feel I am going insane with all that’s going around …Chances are good that I won't make it this way for yet another month…So I thought I would give a pause to whatever is real crap and what I feel, is not essential for me right now.....

To start with, I would be giving a pause to blogging for the next couple of weeks  until I regain a fresh mind to write more crap!!
I am happy many of my dreams have come to fruitition and theres one more left to handle and that’s my research …!!! I’ve been working on it for 2 years now and I am too close to it but have’nt crossed the finishing line …So I need to take a step further there and a step back in the blog game !!So I am going to scratch me off the bloggers list for some time …
Thanks for reading my posts patiently over the past couple of weeks ( My stats tab shows me lots of you... butterflies.... visiting my blog-garden everyday ! Thanks a lot !!) .
It's exactly one month since I started blogging and its definitely cool to be blogging on like this (410 hits in a month ! Feels good !!),  and guys... if you don't hear from me for a while, it's only because good things are happening!!
Bye for now…
Love to all of you,
Butterfly Traveller.
