From :Smruti To: ????????? Subject: Adieu

Hi All,
When I WAS in the company (yupp..!!! from today onwards all past tense..or I should say..all tense moments are now past..;) …) initially when I used to receive mails from colleagues or other known people with the subject “Adieu”(NOTE:all these before THE 7th JAN..:-D)…I used to feel sad .. because It’s always tough to see people leaving place ..and while reading their mails with all the Sento stuff (Ahaaa…I value sentiments …but this word is out of frustration that I dint get chance to share my emotional and memorable moments of the place where I have lived my dreams .ofcourse with a nightmare which woke me up at the end …nywayz..coming to my write up outside bracket ) …

I used to connect myself with their memories..and used to feel happy/sad according to their words written in the mail ..and there my writer-mind (oopss!! I know this word will create two doubts..one-2 posts likh li and Writer..and other does she have mind!!..Ahem!! don’t think much..read my Adieu mail….:-P ) ya..so there my mind used to think that one day when I will leave the company I will write about my experiences of my journey with the company which brought me to the pearl-city with all new hopes ,my routine of ELTP days, great friends who supported me and guided me as and when I felt gap between my electrical nd IT field, INITIAL bench phase where we enjoyed at STC cafeteria, zoo and club house ..

(Now..INITIAL in CAPS ON because our batch was fortunate that our initial bench period lasted till the VPP letter ..and though internal projects did give us chance to be in touch with the technology..the feeling of real project never came..and slowly the enjoyment of bench became Forceful enjoyment and it became worse after THE day as all kind of security checks –like our fixed timings of breakfast and coffee breaks at the time where we were not on any internal projects and simply we used to kill the time by blogging, talking, chatting and reading..in short time pass but with a full proof check on us for ‘not to do any time pass’..) ohhh!! Again am diverted from my planning of ‘adieu’ mail..

ya soo as I was telling about my thoughts on “what I will write in my Adieu mail?’.. my memorable moments like getting first place in training, my first LOA letter , my working as a cultural rep for ‘spot light’ and doing anchoring for the same , my happiness after getting appreciation mails for contributing in satyam foundation, internal project work and my smile after reading comments on my poems in Xpert blogs.. I used to jot down all these wonderful moments and used to think..yeah! I will definetly write all these in my Adieu mail..
Sometimes after getting Adieu mail from people I used to make a list in mind ..list of people who really were/are my biggest strength and I shouldn’t forget their names in my mail…as they really have a great impact on my career at my work place..

Hmmm…but all these lists..memorable moments..remained in my mind only..as when today It’s my time to send “Adieu” mail..they have blocked my iMail since 5 days and above all because of THE day and aftershocks after that like VPP and all…things changed drastically…making everyone’s life different…

Also this was merely just a formality of “Adieu” as the real ‘good-byes’ have already done on sad notes on the day when we all friends left HYD for home..without leave..and without ‘aasha’ of arey! Is bari gharse kya khana le k aayegi??’ fun…with all doubts about what’s next and when all will be together again..

As Time is the biggest solution..and 8 months is a long span to get along and digest the abrupt ending of the journey of around 9000 people…today with God’s grace all my friends have found another way towards success.. :-)

But yesterday while pressing ‘EXIT’ button in eSupport portal ..All my lists and planning of “Adieu” mail came into my mind..also all the splendid moments spent at the company flashed into mind…I also thought that no matter what happened the name will be always remembered as my first job place..and smile will always come to face thinking about all the wonderful memories the company gave..

But…
Just one complain I have with it is..It dint give me a chance to thank people and also took my chance of sending “Adieu” mail…and yeahh!! I missed my farewell party L at STC cafeteria with cakes and Puff-samosa and cold drinks… :P :D

Chalo..koi baat nahi…life hai..chalta hai… :D

I would like to thank blog-sphere for giving me at least space where I expressed my sadness ;) of not able to send my Adieu mail.. ;-)
And yeahh..now as all Adieu mails have last common line so here is mine
“Enjoy life..keep smiling..and be in touch “ (yupp!! Same like all mails..no creativity in that as before I start thinking on my probable ending of ‘Adieu’ mail after reading some1 else’s I was at home with my VPP letter..soo dint get time to think about it..hehehe)
Now formal mail-ending..
With Regards,

LEAVING OR LIVING LIFE!!!!

When I was in Hyderabad ,I used to go at STC..It’s a long journey and you need to cross some villages to reach there..so you find combo of nature and technology along your way.. And while coming back from office ..I used to think about the whole day and usually I used to write my thoughts as a text message draft..And If I am in mood on weekends I used to write it into my diary elaborating the message ; )..Yesterday was just flipping the pages and found these two observations I wrote long back..
That day also I had not written any conclusion and today also I am not judging anything..these are just some of the thoughts ..situations..which we come across in our journey called life..
Here we go… my observations of that day..on my way back to home from STC..

Scene 1: Usual office end timings..perfect corporate outfits..properly combed hairs..hand bag with multiple credit cards ..discount coupons …bills of some hi-fi malls… greeting people ( in spite of cursing them on their back) …pretending that they are the most “cool” ..care free dudes/gals of the town…showing off 2-3 mobiles which they carry..and yeah not to forget the “Tansen” part of their personality..arre!!! the “I-pod” effect ( acting like as if they know all raag-sur-taal)… In short a ‘perfecto scenario’ of a modern life which was the most awaited wish of them..
But wait a minute………
All those stuff are external features of some creatures which we call mankind ooops!!! Urban –modern-knowledgeable breed of the society..but what’s going on in their upper portion of head that’s also an interesting thesis topic..
face with the plastic smile -can measure in ‘centimeters’ …mind in tension of the next day..or “what to do after going home?”..list of “To do’ things…pending tasks… listing the chains of relatives need to be called that day…recalling that whose b’day or wedding date they forget to wish..planning what reasons to be said after calling…
that’s it..the usual day starts with a lot of worries..and ends with them..oh!! of course not to mention every day bank balance gets new green food as well..so only the troubles seems smaller sometimes…but then too cursing destiny for what they won’t have…aiming aimlessly ….

Scene 2: End of the day..cloths smelling ..disheveled hairs..one kaput bag with wage earned that day..walking as if thanking God for the day and enjoying the transition of evening to night…watching the setting sun ..sometimes humming the folk track or some prayers…
Back of the mind thinking about their loved ones waiting for them at home..thinking about what they’ll buy from the li’l amount they earned today…smiling silently with the thought that one of the necessary things they can now afford to buy…and telling one’s self that tomorrow will be another day where they will go for work and will help the family in being happy..
No cursing destiny…accepting the simple normal routine life and smilingly enjoying it aswell…..

Sooo……these are the two observations..extreme one…..!!!

But As I always believe ..at the end of the day what really matters is how much smile you have spread among people.. :)
So don’t worry much If you are not doing the job which you like the most…but atleast try to be happy ..as life is special..and It’s our right to enjoy it..:)
Isn’t it??…
So..Keep smiling..and keep rocking!! :)
