Never ever say Good Bye.

Its not in Indian Culture.

We always say - "Jaa Ke Aataa Hoon", "Laters".

There is NO Hindi equivalent of Good-Bye.

There is no equivalent of the word "Religion" as well in India.

One must realize that Western civilization is uncivilized in evolution.

the fallacy in this logic is that everything in indian culture is a-perfect. 

goodbye is a pretty strong sentiment. no wonder desis are so pathetic when they split. leaving w/o a word, crying, tearing clothes, declaring each other as forever enemies, forever bad mouthing, never at peace, never moving on. The closest they get to saying goodbye to a living person is - 'u are as good as dead to me now'. Instead they can just pick up and say a graceful goodbye, and get a closure and move on. 

PS: the song above was just something i liked as a concept. While I have had to say too many goodbyes, i don't think i got any better at it ... i never let myself get so cold that i cry less and less at every heartbreak. Nope, I go through a full gamut of a friendship/relationship. Giving it my all, fully trusting, and if it doesn't go well, then go through a full period of mourning. To me, that's saving my innocence. I hope i am not a cold person now. Careful, yes. Bitter, no.

I read long ago that the word / phrase "Goodbye" evolved from the parting words "God be with you", a kind of a well meaning wish during parting and going different ways.
