Almost a month into the school and 4 weeks for your friend to die on you forever.

A real depressing clody sunday, you listen to Taarak mehta downstairs as you wonder when did you lose interest in communal TV (long ago), communal dining (long long ago). The robust signs of fall become an eyesore. Dry leaves scatter on the grass as you can slowly see other house accross the street. You wonder at the last remaining weeks at SnS and will you be able to finish them. your work permit renewal receipt is not yet out and you wonder if it will be before end of coming week. Its only a short 2.5 day week. A two well deserved holidays and navratri starting. Just like that 4 weeks will get over and SnS will go on the path of no return. It hurts to the gills . I wont be able to meet my usual clan then. The usual customers are already scattered, going to other stores to complete groceries. I absolutely saw only two of my regulars this week. One of the reasons why I continued working in SnS last year inspite of hectic school work is because I missed my regulars. I will never meet Chip, Revati, Christine, Jackie and Dana...Life still goes on....just like I think "last year at this time"...I hope I will think about SnS this way next year, hopefully without hurt and regrets, glad to be with the store till its life ended.
