Hey there,

We know each other for a mere 2.5 years, but you and I both know that we had journeys to remember for lifetime. Who knows better than you, how I would break in the middle of the road and start clicking pictures on my way, of the same places, of the new places all the time and you would never even make a screech ;)

I know how you didn’t like it when I would take you uphill, forcing me to eventually stop and walk along with you. How you made a clink when I was going too fast for you. How you would show tantrums and stop on the middle of road when you’d need some attention and I had to pull strings. I know how you didn’t like rains and snow. We saw many seasons of rains come and go. You would accompany me even on harsh cold wintery days when almost everyone was forced out alone. You took all the hardships and never gave up, no matter how the weather was!

Last evening just like many other evenings you dropped me home safe and sound. We bid goodbyes, I covered you to protect from rains.
I woke up and found you gone…and how they took you, from me!

You have been a solid companion on our journeys together. I know no one knows you better than me. I still have a part of you with me, also literally and you have my impressions.

Today as we go our separate ways I only wish and hope that you have the best journeys ahead of you.

So long, will always fondly remember you.

Basanti
