Farewell is not an easy word!!!

Separations from anything known is always difficult coz you would be treading into an unknown territory from there on. Am going through a similar psychological upheavel right now as I have had a number of times earlier - when I lef Lucknow to settle in Hoshiarpur, when I left my school and joined college, when I left my engg college to join a job, when I left my first job to prepare for CAT and then when I left Indore to join Infosys.

As all knew associations bring in opportunities unexplored by you, the separation also creeps in the feeling of uesasiness for what you are going to miss there on. Though the feeling is not new but surely the differences in opportunities and the sources of uneasiness.......always make it a unique experience.

As I once read -

"To survive separation of loved ones-We must have no regrets,Because when the ineffable comes,Guilt-free memories are our only salvation. "

When I contemplate my 7 months in infosys, I am sure I am really going to miss -

  1. Ganesh's Simplicity and Passion
  2. Vijay's attitutude and aptitude
  3. Nitin's experiential Observations and learning attitude
  4. Arun's killer smile and soft hands
  5. Krish's innocence and RFID-GTIN mania
  6. Nandita's maturity and "I-will-talk-only-through-messanger" syndrome
  7. Sunandan's patience and argumentative style
  8. And Yeah, Blogging for sure..........am not going to get so much of free time as I did in Infy

This post is a special thanks to all those wonderful people who made working a real pleasure for me in Infosys. Am surely going to miss the guys a lot.......

Normally I would never write something so senti-mental; But surely Nandita's mail did provoke me to do so. I am sure right now I don't fit in the words she used to describe me but surely I am going to try to be one.....for the words are really wonderful -

"You were born to walk the road less traveled
You knew you were born to be different
From the time when you lay on your back and stared at the clouds
Biding your time before you touch them
You knew you were born to be different
When you travel the roads and paths
On your machine
When the world make way for you and your bullet
Ride away my friend, Ride away to your dreams"

- Nandita aka Ayn Frost

Thanks a lot for all your love and support......
