You have resigned..

Today, I was told
that you have resigned.

First, I was in shock.
Then sadness followed.
And finally…
I felt happy for you.

I was in a shock
because you won’t be there anymore
in our professional space.
No more support beside me.
No more machine allocations,
tender compliance discussions,
conference coordination,
demos, clinical evaluations—
and no more arguments with me.

The bigger loss is theirs hence mine
They never treated you right.
And you…
you always leave
places that fail to value you,
people who fail to treat you well.

That is your strength.

I am happy
because you have received
what you long wished for.
Your moment has come.

It actually came long ago—
I knew it. My soul told me.

The Almighty tests great souls,
but never abandons them.
(Just like you test me… and still stay.)
I hope you won’t give up on me either.

A new environment.
New people.
New learnings.
And I am truly happy for you.

But I am sad too.

Your name will no longer
pop up in my mailbox.
No longer appear on my official phone.
People will slowly stop
mentioning you.

Though we are not talking—
whenever I saw your name,
heard your name,
I smiled.
Hopes stayed alive.
Memories flashed for a second.

I will miss that.
At least that much.

I am sad because—
who will fight with me now?
Who will block and unblock me?
Who will debate, argue, challenge me?
Who can guide and mentor me?
Who share jokes and makes me laugh?
Who can replace you?
No one.
There is only one which is you.
And you are leaving.

How your absence will truly hit me?
I do not fully know.
Maybe you trained me for this too.
You always prepare me in advance.

You are magic—I was fortunate to witness.
You are wisdom—I experienced.
You are an asset to those who love you.
A friend who genuinely cares.
A mentor who guides.
A fortune I was perhaps destined to miss.

You made me softer.
You revealed my inner self to me.
You showed me the child still alive inside.
You brought me closer to myself
to my own wisdom.

Remember—
beyond everything,
someone is always there for you.
Someone who loves you unconditionally.
Someone who misses you quietly.
Someone who prays for your happiness
even from a distance.
This birth…
or any birth that follows.

Today, I was told
that you have resigned.

But 
Never from my heart
Never from my soul
Never from my thoughts
Never ever from my life
I give all my blessings to you 
Take your curses if any.

Go.
Be happy—whether up or down.
Do well—I know you will.
Conquer the doubts that challenged you.
Conquer the world that made you cry.
Prove your worth and help others rise.
And carry that dopamine smile.

Just remember, somewhere,
there is a slightly unlucky,
slightly crazy man
who was always mad at you—
and always on your side.
