adieu Coimbatore.. how does one feel when one leaves the place?

Tweet

It is almost a year since I came to Coimbatore. My life has been like a nomadic life since my husband is in the Police Department. I have lived in many districts and cities in Tamilnadu. Now I am preparing myself to leave Coimbatore and go to Chennai. So my feelings… it is so mixed. After I finished my college at Chennai I have never wanted to go to Chennai. A stay at Chennai for a day or two is ok with me, but to go and live there is really heart breaking! It is going to be the most difficult thing to leave this beautiful Coimabatore and I have been discovering this for the past few days. Coimbatore had been my dream place to live next to my native place.(Nagercoil). Initially when I had to move to Coimbatore from Trichy I was a bit worried but then I realized the folly of my insecurity. What a great place to live! The cool and comfortable weather… the mercury never goes above 35degrees, Siruvani water, Definitely a neat city compared to other cities of Tamilnadu with less traffic jam. I enjoyed a very good job at Sheela hospital. The timing was very perfect for me from 9 AM to 5 PM with no night shifts. Living at Race Course was another boon to me. Quite calm with round the clock security. I am definitely going to miss so many people who came across my life at Coimbatore. The most powerful are perhaps the personal connections, sometimes even for just a few moments and sometimes in silence. The loving madam(Dr.Christy Ganapathy) who is so dearly called as ‘amma’ by every one, the MD, my colleagues, the nurses, the nursing students, the theatre staff, EDP staff, the senior citizens of Sheela Hospital’s old age home, my husband’s drivers, his police men on waiting, the old man who with a smile but silently fuels my car at the Indian Oil Petrol Pump at Avinashi Road, the banana cart man near Race Course, Scooby Doo our neighbour’s pet dog who elegantly accompanies me while I go for a walk( if some one dare talk to me while he is around, they would just lose half a kilogram of their flesh) …. the list goes on and on…they all made me feel so special. Back to job hunting and house hunting at Chennai and I am hoping to get a good placement at Apollo Specialty Hospitals and a house somewhere near by my working place. Life is always renewing itself in each moment and I'm learning to let go of my goggles of self interest and enjoy the miracle as it unfolds...the journey continues within… Good bye Coimbatore! Good bye to You! I hope to come back again.. Good bye Coimbatore..
