Thank you & Good Bye

Posted on September 26, 2005September 26, 2005 by Surya

Today I bid adieu to many things that were a part of my life – the blog being just one of them.

This blog turned out to be a much better experience than I could ever have imagined, mainly because of the many unexpected visitors and commentors I had. I appreciate it, thank you.

Some of you emailed me and we continued our conversations beyond the comments on this blog. Drop me an email, if ever you feel like. I think I would really like that.

Some of my long lost friends found me again after they stumbled upon my blog. Lets not get long lost again.

As I realise and accept once again that change is the only thing that is constant in life – the silence of silent eloquence will just be yet another change.

Auf wiedersehen..and I pray our paths will cross again.

    Surya, may we ask “why”?

    I too would like to ask why, but won’t. I am sure you have thought through it, and if the reason was something you could share with the rest of us through this post, I am sure you would have.

    But I can certainly ask you this: can you reconsider? Please …

    Abi: Thanks for not asking why and Paappan, I am gonna leave it at that =)

    But its been a tough decision. I have thought hard abt it and wouldn’t have decided so unless I had to.
    But I will see you at your blog =)

    I was almost sure about what you were going to say; but still I had to ask.

    I wish you all the best, Surya. I will miss your (silently) eloquent voice …

    Hi Surya,

    I am sad to see that you are stopping your blog.

    I have one off topic question for you: I am studying in Berlin now and I was wondering if you knew the best (cheapest) way to call India from Germany.

    Thanks,

    Vikram

    Vikram,

    Try this: http://www.eurocallingcards.net

    The “GlobalLine” card is what I have found to be a good trade-off between quality and price. You can buy this card in some of the shops too, but I think its slightly cheaper to buy online.

    Hi Surya,

    Very sad to see that you are going to stop blogging. I am sure it was a difficult decision to make.

    I enjoyed your blog a lot; thanks for all the interesting discussions and insights. I wish you luck for the future!

    As Abhi said, will miss your silently eloquent voice.

    I went back to your very first post and I found this …”So shall be born Silent Eloquence – a blog that celebrates the beauty and power of words.”

    And in the next post you say this, “It sorta helps to record stuff. You know, maybe fifty years later, I can laugh at this and say – ha! how immature was i”

    The more you write the more there is to treasure. Why limit the treasure. Wouldn’t you agree ?

    Then there is this quote by someone …”We only part to meet again”

    Oh Dear! I missed this farewell! Now is too late to pray you to get back to blogging! Sigh…

    The Dark One

    When I first heard the sounds of
    Darkness and silence meeting within me

    The little mind argues for light
    The virtue, the power, the beauty

    Light a brief happening could hold me not
    All encompassing darkness drew me in

    Darkness the infinite eternity
    Dwarfs the happened, the happening and yet to happen

    Choosing the eternal
    Darkness I became

    The dark one that I am
    The divine and the devil are but a small part

    The divine I dispense with ease
    If you meet the devil you better cease

    Love & Blessings
    Jaggi.

    Now that I come here after a long time, I see that your blog is shut down already. I certainly enjoyed my occasional visits here :) Good luck!
