Au Revoir !!!!!!!

Today , when its time for birds to return ..... Sun says bye for the day ......... in the book of my professional life , a chapter comes to an end. Journey , planning of which was done on a cold chilly night  of January three years ago , and commenced at an entirely different end of mercury level seven months later , is about to come to an end.  Sailing was not smooth and had its crests along with troughs ,  which is as expected with life  . First day is still fresh in mind and haven't yet forgotten Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows read during training.

The sense of achievement , though a minor one , at the start of your career ,  after days of  burning midnight oil and making a release is always a refreshing memory. News that all  our efforts were futile the very next day was the down side to it. Loved the challenges all along and take pride in the ones I overcame and I believe the failures , if any , were a learning and only added to my experience.  There were many days where it was pure slogging at its best  On few days , it was like  a craftsman  at work. Joined as a freshman and have grown in all facets of life. Got to meet different kinds of peoples with varied characters.  I truly believe this played a huge role in my personality development. Had loads of fun and enjoyment in team parties. It would be a grave sin if I fail to mention our tea time chat , the best half an hour of the day where we discuss pretty much every thing . Our " Ashes" between FE and BE teams also was a great experience , though was second best on most occasions. These three years coincided with probably the toughest period yet of my personal life. Few have been of great support in those tough times of mine and  thanks would just be undermining their role.

I have always believed " Change is the only Constant " , One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a long time. I thought , time was finally ripe to move on in life. I would like to take pride in being emotionally detached and believe that glitter in your eyes followed by drops on your cheeks is precious .I , along with two other friends , were the ones to have bid farewell to all our close friends in college five years ago . The precious  couldn't stay inside the eyes and did come out for a few truly special ones that day. Tomorrow the chances are quite bleak ... but you never say never !!!!!!!!
