As a part of class activity, one day, we were asked to close our eyes and think of one thing that we would think of, if those were the last 5 minutes of our life. Some thought of their families, some thought of their mothers, Vedu remembered his GF (not to be named) , Sandy saw himself getting married, Kittu managed a 5 minutes nap, while Madia woke up from his slumber. :D ( vedu, sandy, kittu, hardik are my WESchool buddies).
Me? Well !!!
When I closed my eyes I saw the magnificent dome in Hyderabad DC.
Voila !!!!!!!!! Am I in love with it ?
Mmm.... well ....amm
And then I remembered this mail, quoting NRN saying “Love Your Job But Never Fall In Love With Your Company, Because You Never Know When It Stops Loving You.” I am not sure of the context of this statement and neither its authenticity. But then Sir, why did u make such architectural masterpieces, in first place, which made lovelorn like me fall in love with it?
Infy was certainly not my dream company, neither did I intended to join it, but then I miss being part of it, even more, after I quit on 3rd July 09. Distance makes hearts grow fonder. May be!
Standing right at the centre of the hyd DC , camouflaged by lush green ! To me, the dome epitomises, the first time I ever saw Infy, my first day @ job, my first time away-from-home life. We were so naive then, so much more accepting and easily willing to let each other in our lives. Remember how we hugged each other, when we got homesick. The dome to me reminds me of my struggle to establish myself. At the same time, it also reminds me of the leisure to sit in the cricket ground and stare at the skies; spot a bright star in dark skies and feel like one. On top of the world!!! World seemed like a white canvas, all for me to paint! Infy to me meant freedom to take my own decisions and stand by them. (And yet be responsible to care for others). Freedom to be me. To live life on my own terms.
Last year at this point of time, there was so much that, I had put at stake. Even as you wonderful friends congratulated me, I remained half convinced, half confused about my MBA. All I knew was I had to move from there. Which way? I was still unsure. I knew that it was my last chance to pursue higher education and yet I didn’t know if that was the best option I had. Sometimes you just have to take decisions and stand by them and work towards making them right. I did the same. Recently i have heard a lot of my friends complain about their last days @ Infy. Good / bad, sweet / bitter, whichever way u tag life @ infy , I prefer to call it best and leave the rest.
Now as I look back I feel more confident. Life has come full circle. Saying good bye was never a comfortable thing and that’s why may be I have never been able to. Now, as we all tread different paths, I know at some crossroads we will all come Roobaroo (may be with a different song in our hearts).
