Break ups...

School: Sweetheart...I have loved every moment spent with you. But our relationship has reached a stage where I need some space. I need to explore new horizons and experience new wonders which being with you cannot give me...I love you but I think we need to see other people...goodbye...

Hobby (the wrong one): Well baby, I was young and I started dating you just because everyone around me found you desirable. But Philately let’s face it...you and I have nothing in common. I still have your pictures...may be I shall gift them to a distant cousin or a friend...someone who can value your true worth... goodbye...

College: Sweetums...I had no idea how wonderful our relationship would turn out to be. The memories we have shared would always be with me bringing a smile to my face when I need it the most. But again we both knew we had just 4 years and then we have to part...forever...goodbye...

Food (that causes an allergic reaction): See darling, you know I love you but I cannot take this abuse any more. I think I deserve to be with someone who does not derive pleasure from scarring me...goodbye...

Organization worked for: Honestly honey, (I’m running out of cheesy endearments!!!) I agreed to be with you because all my well wishers felt you would enrich my life in ways I cannot even think of! But the way you treated me and forced me to move to the only place I had reservations against tells me how much care about me. There were some good times...but nothing can make up for what you did to me in the end. I am sorry...I cannot be with you any more...goodbye...

City: My love...we have been together for ages and there have times when I believed that I cannot live without you. But truly we both know that irreconcilable differences have cropped up between us. Let us part while we still care for each other. I want you to know that a part of me will always love you and wherever I am I shall always say a silent prayer for you every day...bye...

Life: The final break up.

How would this one go?

Would it be over before anyone gets inkling or would it be a bitter long drawn fight?

Would it be calm and peaceful or would it be violent and ugly?

Would it be a much welcome relief or would it be a tearful parting?

...

PS: In Hindu mythology if someone starts a journey in the month of Bhadra...he or she never returns. (Famous as "Agastya yatra") So if someone is born somewhere around the middle of that month does it mean she is immortal? Very scary thought!!!

While we are on this, have you ever noticed how the bad guys (in fictions) from Ravan to Tom Riddle are obsessed about immortality? Poor gods...they had to invent a new loophole every time while granting the wishes.

Funny thing...I have never come across a mythological lady observing penance in the hope of eternal life. Some of the ladies did pray for years...at a stretch!! But they had a very different wish...they wanted a complete man. But back then Raymond not being there the gods again had to concoct heinous excuses to not grant their wishes.
