Valar Morghulis ... Valar Dohaeris

"Are you going?" You had asked.
"Where?" , my response, to which you had replied..
"Under the chair to cut the hair..."
Lameness, from the very first day I met you, till now, you are full of lameness and sadness. "syed"
But today as you bid your final adios to Quick Heal, I ask you "you going?" and I wish the answer would be so lame. But you are really going, for greener pastures, and I sit here feeling the exact same thing- like how i felt when Luis Suarez Left Liverpool for Barcelona.

Today is your last day and NO , this post is not to tell you how good you are because you are not. Nobody is. the world is not a perfect place, people are full of imperfections, but somehow over the last 2 years we gelled so well, our friendship connected to the whole different level.  * Okay okay. no more philosophical shit. not today*

Now that you are leaving, I am having a stark realization about the things I will miss about you. and whoa! the list is endless.
So, this blog post is about me, like they always are. I am selfish you see...:P

Ok, before you go all emotional and sentimental I want to clarify few things.

A) No,  I did not shed any tears, but you ought to cry today.
B) Ofcourse you are still in Pune, and we will meet often for Live screening of Liverpool -Manutd game and Euros.
C) Skype is life saver these days. But 9 x 5 , that's roughly 45 hours of our life we are in office and it sucks to the core that you are not going to be there for larger chunk of it. Hence, the whole emotional missing drama.
D) Now that I have finally written a blog post and done my part, you gotta give me a quilled caricature of Tyler Durden.

13 things I will miss about you 

1) Pao calls.

Who will call me pao now?

and most importantly, whom will I call pao now?

Not everyone will understand the significance of having at least one "paon" colleague , but Goans certainly understand it. 

I will miss being called pao.

2) GOT references.

Thank you for forcing me, literally begging me to watch this series. and thank you for keeping me intrigued throughout with striking information from the Book. 

I will miss our Valerian talks.

Valar Morghulis.   You know nothing Chloe.

3) Tyler Durden.

First rule of Being Tyler, don't talk about him, 

Second rule of being Tyler, you don't talk about him.

Only you know the Tyler in me. Tyler in me is not diplomatic as you say. he ain't. Thank you for recognizing the Tyler Durden in me and accepting him, Tyler is going to miss you. *inverted smile*

4) Goan Snacks

Thank you for stuffing me with so much of cashews, dodols , bebincas , coconut cookies every time i missed my home. I remember you used to keep even a smallest bite saved for me. How will my craving for Goan snacks in office be fulfilled? :(

5) Football 

Discussing football with you was so much fun, and teasing you when man utd lost, even better. ofcourse that was very often .. :P   Shahh , Manchester United is going to lose hell lot of games from now on and I will miss the sadistic pleasure I get in teasing you.

6)  your tantrums

Your tantrums about calling me sad/gay (sometimes both) and what not.

asking me "have u seen "this" /"that" ?  when "this and that" were some serials / movies which 90 percent people haven't even heard of, and then when I say no, calling me sad, it was so unfair you know, but still, i'm going to miss it, it was fun,

About me coming late to office (which is very rare :P) and about me being insomniac.  

who is going to tease me now ?  

7) Movies.. (ENGLISH movies)

Discussing movies other than bollywood, I should put it as this. Seriously. Who is going to ask me about all the superhero movies now? and how will I get evil grin when i lie that i saw "cute kaminey" instead of Superman vs Batman.  Speaking english, walking english , talking english and discussing english, you are taking away a hell lot of English out of me, I hope you know that  ;).

8) Gifts , gifts and more gifts.

The amount of gifts we  have shared, i think not even my all ex girlfriends combined have given me so many things. :D   Out of every thing, Mella remains my favourite, my quilled mellisandre. Night is dark n full of terrors. And jurgen klopp.  

Yes yes, I will water the fortune plant daily. I wont forget, promise :D 

9) HIMYM references.

Saluting when the word "major" comes up. Or you calling me Ted and me explaining you Barney's graphs about everything. It was fun, nobody else got how I met your mother jokes better than you do.

"Major missing" 

10) Linux commands.

Thank god you were there to save my ass everytime my lizard brain kept forgetting Linux commands. Our grand hacking plan is still ON , very much. But i will have to google every Linux command now. When you were around, everything was so simple, even the toughest of linux related query was just a phone call away, from taking the remote of my machine and turning off my Kali's firewall, to installing vine, everything will be sorely missed.  My beloved Kali is going to miss you. 

11) Telling you stories. 

Oh yes, you were always an ear to me blurting out about all my women-escapades, ex's , crushes, and all the time i failed/passed , all the time i screwed up, won over. Reading my emails and giving me advice about all that was wrong/right in it. i will miss sharing all my stories with you, (mostly girl(s) related.:P)  but still, other stories as well, about global warming etc :D

12) Hearing stories

Damn, this is the worst thing. getting to know so many theories, (ice cream theory, rings the bell? ;) )  hearing out all the gossips and happening in office. who is after whom and who proposed her, all this girly talks , shaah, i am going to miss this the most tbh :P   you were like my inside agent in QH.  Plus, also, which girl gave me compliment and what was the compliment, detailed information provider you were. I am never going to know all these stories now, I feel like an outsider without a trusted insider already :(

13) 13 theory.

Oh ya!! like I always say , everything in my life finally boils down to 13. this number 13 is everywhere, even this list i am unknowingly ending on 13th point. you were the only one who believed in my 13 theory, its hard to explain it to anyone else you know, people call me mad :P

See, the list is not even half done, but i am ending it on 13. (just to prove my point maybe)  and having said all this i genuinely want to wish you all the best in future and you will be missed badly. stay intelligent, smart, like you always are and lame and sad like you always are.  

You understood me like nobody else, the time i was sad in Feb and prior, the time I was happy, the time I am Tyler, the time I am Cornelius, the time i am Jaqan haguar to the time i am Daisy , you just knew who i was and what i am. you were there for me in the happy times and sad. We started as Goan colleagues in this company and friendship connected to the level of brotherly-sisterly affection, where you understood me, accepted me and saw me for who i am, confided in me and told me i am not as weird as i come across.

Okay, i know you would want to kill me for making this dramatic post even more dramatic and only thing you want is the poem on your weird theory, and i am getting to it. you will get it soon., :)

This post though , is just to let you know that within the numbered days we had so much joy and laughter and memories, and for that I will always be grateful.. :-)

We all gonna miss you a lot!

Take care, adios!!

And have a wonderful Life ahead scripting Linux.

All the very best :)
