Though it may be an irony to call one's farewell day as "D special day" in the organisation, but for me this is the Truth!
I was befuddled and lost...It was just an hour for my farewell meeting to start at Wipro-My first company! I cribbed a lot about the kind of work I did regularly,unfair managers, sad compensations & monotonous work but the fact of the matter is when you are going to leave the company, all these things seem irrelevant & fade in comparison to the amazing friends you’ve made & the memories imprinted forever in your life…And on this, the farewell meeting was like icing on the cake. It melted my heart like the butter melts with a hot knife on it....It made my move a pugnacious one!
Each mouth spoke, spoke good which I never discovered. One heart was in so much pain that it blurted..tears rolled over our eyes..Had never realized someone had become so special for me and I had become so special for someone. She's a true friend.I couldnot believe when someone spoke from the days when I joined till date. He was so observant and caring! He was none other than my manager. We shared a special bond. I am glad I met some one like him.....There were mouths saying that I was irreplaceable..not technically but the life and joy I filled in to the team. There was one guinea pig of my "quality initiative" tortures and felt he hated me to the core. But saw a different him that day! He is one of those shy guys, so took time and pulled in all the courage and alas spoke when we were about to close. We all were zapped. People laughed as he started but were still when he closed. I was taken aback!!!! Y am I leaving them??????
Then came a voice- Be glad and delighted, coz this is what you carry along with U. Technical knowledge is something you can gain anywhere, but this is something that makes U special and your stay here a success.
Food for thought: There are times in life when u stand empty handed and the very next moment u have more than u can cope up with..........

Well, that IS how it works Swati...our careers (or lives?) are divided into "transactions" and it is best to learn from each transaction and move on...
Good luck with your new role. Spread the energy and fun the way you spread it here to make FCAT FunCAT!
