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..........
My Good bye mail to my team mates cum friends@wipro........
Hi F.R.I.E.N.D.S, (yes that is how I would like to address U all now and forever……..)
It really pains to write this letter this day, my last day at WIPRO Technologies. Believe me; I have lots of sentiments attached with this place because it has been my FIRST STEP in a Career of a lifetime. I got my First Job, First Salary, First Financial Independence, First Office colleagues, First interaction with Clients, First Project and a lot of other firsts.
I have been very lucky to have a really involved and closely knit team and work up to my satisfaction, and I am taking back with me volumes of knowledge, which is a the most wonderful gift I could get while departing. And what’s more is the exposure I got from this company about the whole IT industry and the things IN and OUT.
The question is “why then do I need to go?” Life has certain paths destined for all of us and we need to take each path and keep changing roles to taste the various flavors of life. Apart from that we also need to prioritize certain things in life at the right time. We all must have realized these things every now and then. I am just moving to play few new roles in life and add a few more colors to my life and get some experience of the outside world, so that I can come back and contribute in new areas and bring in new possibilities in everything I do, in the best ways I can. In short, I can call it a short juncture in my path to rediscover myself.
I would like to thank each one of you for your co-operation, always being there and giving me a platform to grow and prove myself and to learn things better. The responsibilities and appreciations I got have done huge value add to my attitude and behavior.
A special thanks to Rajaram, Pradeep and Raji for sharing their wealth of technical knowledge with me. Thanks to Vikas for being a manager with fantastic flare. He has managed to keep my morale high as a true friend whenever required! Gunk, Deeps- Though the Charlie’s Angels in goanna split, but we will still be best of friends forever… Namz, Shobhana, Sucheta, Shreeja, Sailaja, Ariv, Shifon and Raji’s (two right!): To be more precise, the gal’s gang: I would definitely miss the typical gal’s spicy chit-chats with the hot sips of coffee! Thanks to all those people who had to bear with me while enforcing the six sigma rules on them...specially Srihari… Joyce, Hanumanth and Mendhe ji, thanks for bearing me during the KAP sessions! And of course Shailesh, Srihari, Anish, and Vanesh who made my life at work cheerful and bubbly with their tease and fights! Thanks to Rangan, Mujeeb, Shyam and Nasir for showing me the true definition of sincerity and dedication! Ravi- Thanks for the million arguments on mails without which I would have forgotten to fight! Though I dint get much scope to work with u- Mahesh, but whatever li’l I have known u, it was great! Thanks a million to all the onsite folks for the extended co-operation that you have provided with extended hours and extended calls with me! J
I have mixed feelings while I part ways and a strong feeling that destiny is gonna give me lot of chances to be around the block, accidentally hitting up somewhere in this small world or through voice mails. Though I can’t take anything from here, but I am taking along with me the immense wealth of knowledge and the memories of the really good time I spent here…
My stay here was a blend! I had so many designations and titles. Ranging from build Engineer, sysadmin, Event Organizer, News Letter editor, Go gal to Hitler, chatter box, khadoos, kapper to kappie etc! J
Needless to say, more that 1 and half long years of stay here was a conglomerate of myriad experiences, both at professional and personal levels. I wish all of you continued success and a lot of happiness. Thank you for such a warm farewell (I was touched) and the valuable gifts.
I can always be reached at swatisanganeria@gmail.com and would be pleased to be in touch. Just for the ending note, I'll miss you all.
All the best and wishing GOOD LUCK for all times to come.
Swati Sanganeria
P.S: Bidding adieu with the quote, “God often uses small matches to light up great torches and no matter how small we feel in this world, he has something big in store for us. We just have to wait for the right time and be alert to recognize it, when it strikes”.
At this juncture of life, the thoughts in my mind are scattered and dispersed.
On one side there is a plethora of joy about being independent, of the realization that I have managed to create a space for myself in this over crowded world. I have confronted all my fears and allowed my self to become more productive and still moving on the path of attaining perfectionism.
And on the other side, my mind struggles hard to find “Is this is a viscous circle??”
Is this the way life is goanna be. Is this mundane routine goanna continue for the rest of life? I hate it! This is what I call “Cycle of Life”. Isn’t this job robbing me of my free time, my hobbies, my unrealized dreams with worries about scripts, defects, code, bugs, network problems, issues, server down time and deadlines. Is this the life of a S/W (sleepy Weepy) Engineer??
It was just yesterday that we were setting the trends. May it be clothes, dance, drama, music, sports or literature; we were masters of all. There was no space for
the word “NO” in life.
And today I can say with conviction, not one hand would volunteer for either of it.
Where has the passion got lost?
It was just a year back that I was the heart and soul of my college functions and today I find it hard to sit and watch a function because my mind is bogged with the thoughts of reaching office on time tomorrow, of the unfinished task on the queue. Only yesterday did I realize how this slow poison has done its reaction.
But then came a strong realization which bought a sudden enlightenment. It’s the benediction of the lord that we are given the path to success as an easy piece of cake. It’s just the attitude that has lost its place. All you need is a little time …………We just need to plunge in deep into our heart and find the passion still intact! And that’s promise friend!!!
Food for thought:
What we do during our working hours determines what we have,What we do during our leisure hours determines what we are.
I can conquer the whole world with one hand as long as you are holding the other!
A positive avalanche pours in! One moment you have nothing and the next, you have more than you can cope with.
One moment you are struggling hard with whirls of paradoxes, with extreme emotions and the next moment you are full of composure…
Yes! In the recent past, peace and happiness was a like a mirage…Things looked faded, colorless and blurred. The road I chose was dark and deep, and I was walking there in solitude with just my soul with me….. There was just a stir of sadness and I found a hand holding mine with compassion, love and warmth. And I turned to find my soul mate, standing neither behind nor ahead of me, just along with me. It was that moment, which gave me assurance of life time.
I could feel a different me! I could feel the courage to cope up with everything and I actually coped up with all the sadness. Neither did I just leave the old things, I discovered a better life. A life, the way I wanted it to be! Just a big decision to walk towards the tough road for the first time and then all is smooth…Life gave me all the happiness I desired for…….
We realize how easy and simple the toughest hours of our life are only after cracking it……
Today on my way to office, just looking out of the window...soo many thoughts got over my head! The journey to office seemed soo long.......I realized an element missing in my life..Yes, that was my friend Shri...Never before did I realize how much I wil miss her..How Imp had she become in my life....
Last nite, I was fighting with thoughts....had a bad and long night! The person with whom, I use to talk every nite before sleeping, was no more there beside me...It was a sad night!
:-(
But then, I realized how selfish I had become...I should be happy that my friend is starting a new life...A beautiful life...Life with her soul mate...He is fortunate enough to find a girl like her...She is atrue friend..! :-) Yes, she proves the fact that Scorpio's are the most loyal friends on this earth....would just like to thank my friend through this post of mine! Thanks dear!
Wish u all the luck in life! :) miss u!
