Goodbye friend, see you again if alive
Went to campus today to discuss closing classes. The campus, which is full of laughter, songs and chats, has suddenly become unfamiliar. The atmosphere is thumping all around. I feel a cool silence on campus.
At noon, the government announced the closure of all educational institutions. At the same time our doubts were dispelled. Semester exams, session jot are something that came to mind. But everyone had to accept, 'Study for life, not life for study.'
I was watching the news on television in the evening. Every news report seems to be crashing into the heart. One day is going by and the situation is getting worse. There is no war, no clanking of weapons. It seems that surviving one day seems to be our biggest battle!
Many of the friends have said goodbye and gone home, again many are preparing to go. But this time the farewell was not like any other farewell. Everyone had a last word at the moment of farewell, 'Goodbye friend, see you again if alive.' Tears came to my mind when I heard that. I have never seen anyone say goodbye in this way in my short life.
