A jiffy

is actually a unit of time, some fraction of a second. But I shall post this short note and be "off in a jiffy" to my daily classes. Have started work, and ten of us new college graduates(NCGs) as we are called are being "trained"
In the midst of all this, we had our convocation and it was weird seeing the life in the campus go on without us. We missed the campus a lot, but when we went back there, it didn't seem that anybody missed us all that much. (or maybe they knew that we didn't really go anywhere) They might have, but doesn't really make a difference. Similarly after death, it is us who will miss life, not the other way round. People might grieve for a day or two, but nobody will miss you as much as you will miss life. On that nore,

Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone

Close your eyes
And bow your head
To rest your soul
And to praise the dead

Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone

Dry your eyes
And stand upright
Put a smile on your face
He wouldn't want us to cry

The sun will rise
The stars will shine
Turning day to dusk
And night to dawn
We'll pass on
But until that time

Say Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Say Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone

Have mercy
It's a wonderful life
Eternal rest for the weary
Mourners party tonight

Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone

Wave your hands
But don't say goodbye
We're all gonna meet you
On the other side

"Say Hallelujah"
