The aftermath

Posted by admin on Dec 13, 2008 in life | 0 comments

What an awful, awful week it had been. Unbearable, unforgettable, tragic. All of a sudden we were to bid farewells to close comrades and familiar faces. It was all immediate. Merciless.

The desperation stemmed from the fact that those decisions were final and terminal, right from the get go. With no second chances and no rooms for negotiation, you feel that the basic rights of these people have been deprived. Those long-standing rumors and statistics took on a whole different meaning when translated into the flesh and blood of the people around you who are being devoured. Fairness did not even enter the picture. People speak of the place becoming “fitter” after the event. Quite the contrary. What remains is an array of confused and betrayed individuals, wondering what to plan for themselves when the asphalt that kept them from falling suddenly turned into quicksand.  

May the bright and passionate minds who left be blessed and do manage to come through as fast as they could. Keep up the faith and hold out.
