Farewell Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

River changes course
enter new fields
meet new cultures
get fresh identities
still we remember
where it originated from..

We know you have to go
but we are also coming with you
as sweet memories in your Heart ..

हमारे दरमियाँ कुछ तो रहेगा
चाहे वो फ़ासला ही सही..

We hope to find you again
preceding us, paving way for us
setting new records
and making us all proud
as you will remain our seniors..

Tell me you'll never forget me,
because if I thought you would,
I would never leave.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean i will miss you
until we meet again..
