enjoying myself

Last Day as Software Engineer

today is my last working day in the company n i m feeling nostalgic . i had joined here on 15th July 2004( ya i can remember tht date..). just a engg. graduate,ready to dive in the world of coding,technical designs and presentations. from a happy-go-lucky chap to a responsible ( this word usually doesnt rhyme well with me ...) software enggr. but all my concerns were blown away on first day itself when we had a big bash at 32nd milestone. this was the best way of entring the corporate world, tht i cud ever imagine.


i hv formed some really good relationships here, made some fantastic friends. everybody here seemed so different and yet so special. first of all our fresher group ... Somnath,mitali,suresh,purnima n myself.. we bonded well right from the word go. in fact even sales n marketing people complimented me a few dayz earlier fr having such an amazing group. then there was rohit, the guy who handled my module during my interview prepn. this helped me to focus solely on the interviews. thank u rohit fr tht. he is very experienced guy n i learnt a no of things frm him though his company turned me into a passive smoker .....). then there was Vikas, who blended his tech skills well with his extra-tech skills( read party skills..). The team has total faith in this guy n they can do anything he asks fr. this is amazing as this ability did not come from position in company but frm the trust people put in him . this is what anyone can only dream of. Abhijit is also very friendly guy ( inki tvacha se inki umer ka pata hi nahin chalta.....)).


Mona is the most enthusiastic gal we had in R & D . party hard n work harder seems to wht she is following in her life. tht enthu drives other members including 'masoom'. 'masoom' is pretty cute but i wud like her to be a bit more proactive. may be in a mould of kanika who is usually a bit reserved but when she speaks everybody notices. n she knows when is the right time n right place to speak out. kakkad wud also be soon joinin another B-School ...he takes sumtime to open up....how can i forget mutthhu, whom a taught a few lines in hindi like 'thank u' can be said in hindi as 'mein tujhe bahut maroonga' n cudnt control my laughter when he uttered same in front of another person.....).


i did not hv much interaction with the node side. but my little experiences hv been pretty gud. manpreet is very approachable n wud help u in every possible way he can. then amar,vivek,amita n dhiren r also quite outgoing and friendly people. amit kumar helped me during gd/ip prepn. Our admin-staff - vani n saya r also pretty cheerful persons.


the 'system testing' team is the most 'zindadil' team in R & D. these guys r really cool n amicable. sood is there to send those 'different' kind of fwds in mail. i formed good bonding with dogra n dhiren while playing tt. dogra used to generate work ( read troubling MRs... ) fr me n then i had to really convince him pretty hard to get them verified. ranjan,ravikant,bansalji n pathak hv all been all very wonderful persons.


now my manger...... i can see the smile on all ur faces. i hv heard people saying a lot of nasty things abt their managers. but i hv been lucky to get a pretty considerate n sympethatic manager.... a person who gives u a lot of freedom to work with.... who puts a lot of trust in u..... n u simply cant let him down. really vishal is a gem of a person n the manager whom anybdy wud like to work with.


kehtein hain a person doesnt forget his first love n his first job. i havent experienced my first love yet. but my experiences at my job hv been really wonderful. n i m goin to cherish them all my life...... wud be writin abt these experiences in my blog later. i m too overwhelmed with emotions right now.

Just humming :
'Chalte-chalte mere yeh geet yaad rakhna
Kabhi alvida na
kahna rote- hanste bus yuhien tum gungunate rehna
kabhi alvida na kahna'


achha doston.......alvida....... phir milenge.....
