Last Day @ Aricent

13 June 2005, i was right there in front of plot 31 gate, waiting for my turn to get my employee batch."your employee ID is 5132,please collect your bag and get into your bus", He said.He was one of the HR guys, distributing employee IDs and bags to the new employees.Bus was almost full,but somehow i managed to get a seat, and we all started our journey with a roaring engine.
"What's up Amit, sleeping all day", Ramya almost woke me up. "What happen to your Pronto 324567".She asked."O god !!!, that pronto has been marked CNN, and please today is my last day, i am going to write my last day @aricent mail, will you please",i said.
"Ya but my treat", she demanded."at 5.00PM in plot 31, now please", i pleaded."Ok baba, i am leaving", She said and moved to meenakshi's desk, probably to discuss PR324567.and i saw around, people moving from one desk to other, discussing TBF make break, BSCPET issues, and
"That journey ends here, Today is my last day in Aricent.It has been around 2 months since i have resigned.Everyone has reacted differently to me leaving The Company. Some are genuinely sad. Some are not sad at all, and are very excited for me.Others are curious and a bit envious. Some couldn’t care less. And I imagine some feel left behind.The lesson here is that everyone reacts differently to change, and you have to be prepared for all reactions.whatever these 2 years have been really wonderful,and when i see myself today I am a much more confident person than I was two years back and all credit goes to this company and my friends here.I am carrying with myself an immense wealth of knowledge and a great attitude." i said to myself.
I cleared my inbox, deleted all of my files from my computer, and packed up my desk. My Manager scheduled my exit discussion for 4:00pm, so I got a full day to browse the internet and tie up any loose ends.it was almost 4 so i started moving towards Vaishali, probably for the last time.It was going to be my job for life! But !!!

I came I saw I won I left !!!

Don't know why, but felt sad after reading it!

Probably, whole of ur gr8 gang is dispersing n that is not giving me good vibes!!

But the best part is you are leaving for better..and see what all you are carrying..
True friends, you met ur life partner in Aricent times, the encylopedia of knowledge from Aricent :-))) and probably much more..that confident attitude you were talking of!!

So here you are..all set to explore another fantastic world..
and ur new company is the dream company of many!!!!!!!!!

Loads of Good Luck your way!!!

A bit emotional ... But awesome writting ... Seems ur own , Not a copy from any SRK's movie ... :).. Just Kidding ...
I remember i met u first time in Shankara naryana's training ... We were sleeping at the back becoz everything was getting OHT(OHT is the word which u quite love to hear offcourse not from me :)) and shankaranarayana was almost fininshing for the day and we were just waiting for that moment Then Suddenly u asked question form SN .. we thought ... O God ...isko abhi ye poochna thaa ... bahar jaa ke pooch le ye sub ... we just got irritated .... :) :) ...
And after we formally get introduced thro khemu and the time 05-06 we enjoyed lots of DPs , Rishikesh ,Vaishno devi trips .. The great unforgettable time we all spent together ......
Sometimes At 1 o'clock I wait for ur lunch call .... "Turant , Lunch , 8-9 ke bahar Shukla :) :) " and miss post lunch BC ....

Have a great time ahead ....

With Best Wishes -- deepak
