It bore a withered look today. That tree about 40 ft behind the 'Lawrence PL' sign board ( if you were standing right under it and looking to the west). As if it had come of age. Any passerby with an eye for detail will jibe with the fact that the tree is now well past its prime. He wears a bloated look, clothed in lichen and wrinkled at the bark. No, barks as such are wrinkled. I agree. But our beloved friend looks older and tired. Felt like another sign off was round the corner.
Sign off....hmm..
Why him ? this winter as such has been one of its kind. Thoughts exiting in chorus, expressions buried, not withstanding the test of times and then friends ofcourse, dear and mutual ones bidding adieu to Mizzou and signing off CoMo. I wonder what role the second type had, to play in my life. What contributions can they boast of ? May be I am being a narcissist here. Mass exodus I tell you, is hard to cope up with। Difficult to replace and fill up voids. Lets learn to live with it. High time ! Another fare well beacons. In the midst of this déjà vu, lets hope few notorious kind sign off in dignity unlike few seasons ago... ! ;)
Few weeks from now this eventful winter will sign off too ! as always...in style.
