hasta la vista Datar

So finally today Datar Left...... this is what Rathi Wrote for the Occasion

Farewell Datar

"We're sorry you're leaving and going away,
It's with sadness we're saying 'farewell' this glum day,
To our witty funny Datar,
the boy with the jelly,
But at least when you're gone it will be much less smelly.

This place will be quiet and dull when you're gone,
We'll miss all your jokes and your stories so long,
Your dodgy political views we will lack,
And pretty soon we will be wanting you back.

But then we'll remember what you're really like,
And be happy you went for a very long hike,
And left us in peace to get on with our work,
Because, after all, you're a bit of a burk.
So farewell Datar, we wish you the best,
We're sorry you're leaving and flying the nest,
Your job here is done,
and your role's come a cropper,
But at least in our college there'll be one less ex-copper.


Datar was more like a batchmate to me than a senior.. spend the complete 3 years with him.. starting from our first movie in the group which happened to be XXX .. to the days when he was searching for jobs after the graduation .. to the days when he came back from TVS (where he used to give missed calls to nos in his phone book hoping someone will call).. to the days when he came back again to apply and finally go away..........

His departure gave a feeling of Depression but also motivating. Sounds like a paradox but is so true... on one hand i will b missing him and the thought weather i will b able to meet him sometime, leaves me sad and thinking that i hope the airport scene is not the last time i ll b seeing him...... but also it encoarages me to study harder for CAT and be in par with my peers (sounds ambiguity... )..........
