Last Working day mail
Vijay and Me
...soon it will come to life
New Endeca Team (Galaxy Note)
Dance Endeca Dance (Iphone 5)
Every sentence “Sir, aap mat jao” was breaking my heart in pieces. But my career growth was mired. I was not feeling sad at all, completing Last Working Day's formalities was just like some task to be completed.
My last working day was 14th Dec 2012 Friday. I got up early and started to plan my day. I created my LWD mail and got all documents arranged for Finance clearance. But realized few things were needed to be taken care off before I start for office and for that Anoop's(friend) help was needed. So I got ready n waited for Anoop, in my car, who was late as usual. And now it was rush hours plus in addition to that fly over construction near my house made traffic horrible.
Somehow huffing and puffing, I reached office. I know you must be thinking why huffing and puffing, that’s because I rushed to my desk from parking as I wanted to send LWD mail from my system before it gets disconnected by IS (Information Security). To my surprise system was there but disconnected and wrapped up. Supriya(Team mate) said we saved it from IS. But sadly I was not able to send mail from my system, all my efforts were in vain. So shot mail from Shivani’s(Team mate) system. Thanks Supriya and Shivani.
Few hours later Mandar(Team Lead) said lets go to Mc Donald’s and he will pay. I got the hint; team was ready with farewell arrangements. It was good to cut a cake and get is massaged on face by Vijay(Team mate). Shivani and I were thinking for a song since Thursday, which I would be singing for my farewell and we came up with this song just 15 mins early. Now this was the awesome part about my song, which never happened in Team Endeca’s(my team) history, a song with chorus. I had Shivani and Supriya as chorus singing “Aashaayen Aashaayen Aashaayen…“. Yes, it was song from Iqbal movie “Aashaayen”. The song started with giggles and I was hoping it ends well and so it did. It was followed by my 2 mins speech. Well in short my speech included what I learned from everyone in team. Endeca Team also gifted me 2 gifts and I am happy with both of them, a miniature of Honda CBR 600 F4 and sketching equipment. No one till date has gifted me prototype of a sports bike which I always hope while unwrapping my gifts. Hold on hold on…this doesn't; mean from now on everyone starts gifting me bike prototypes, I accept cash too and cash is my first love in gifts.
Later, after finishing my clearance from Cybage I joined team. Mandar and Shivani were solving a ticket and I to wrack my brain. This was the last time I was giving suggestions in resolving tickets for Endeca Team. After this we all headed for celebrating my farewell.
I planned to throw a party at SOHO’s Restaurant. I deliberately thought about it because it had dance floor and we have two dance fanatics, needless to say they are most flexible people in team Shivani and Vijay. We enjoyed sitting at lounge with snacks and taking snaps. This was the first time I felt Iphone 5 is better performer than my Galaxy Note. Iphone 5 was giving us very good results in low light. So we used it all the night. After some time we hit the dance floor. I am a toddler in dancing. Sometimes my hands move but my feet won't coordinate and if feet move my upper body will just refuse to sync. Dance floor was somewhat similar to which I have seen in movies…dim lit ambiance with green and blue laser crawling every face and body. People enjoying, waving hands, stamping feet in weird manner on loud music beats. Oh is this what they do on dance floor… this is not foreign to me; I do it all the time in shower. As my eyes moved to my team mates, they all were dancing on steps of Hollywood to Bollywood, Ganpati to Gangnam, Macarena to Johnny Bravo and Nagin to Shakira's belly dance. I knew Mandar,Vijay and Shivani can dance well but to see Supriya dancing was new and she did it pretty well. I tried my level best to fit in but my dance was nothing less than throwing hands and legs in all direction. I was happy as I missed gym that day and was losing calories in different manner.
After getting exhausted we went looking for dining table, but all were occupied. I was doing regular check on my accessories… mobile…hmm checked, wallet… hmm checked , ID card…huun… ID CARD I skipped a heartbeat. Wait a minute where is my ID card and then I realized I am no longer part of Cybage. It gave me a feeling of being an orphan and different form Endeca team. But soon it passed away in hunt of a table.
We didn't get table so we went to another restaurant called Northern Frontier. I hoped it was not the last time I see all of them together. So I was trying to leave every moment with them, enjoying every joke, gazing every face trying to create a memory. Time was moving fast but I was struggling to slow it down and persist every moment. I recollect the collection of all LWD mails I had which say about missing friends in a fancy words. Those all words were coming to life.
After filling our appetite we departed. Dropping Vijay, Supriya and Shivani to their home was my responsibility. Vijay and Supriya one by one every one left and a sad feeling of not able to meet these guys again gripped my heart. I shared it with Shivani, she gave me taste of my own medicine by saying “You won’t miss us for a long time”. Well that’s bitter truth of life, time and life moves on, healing wounds and fading memories, sometimes this feature is in our favor and some time it’s not. Then she told me one of her favorite song which cheers her up always and no sooner she played it on her mobile. It was “Aashiyan” from Barfi movie
Itni si haseen itni si khushi
Itna sa tukda chand ka
Khwaabon ki tinkon se chal banaaye aashiyan
Well the magic of song worked in cheering me up and I was smiling again.
Today morning when I see my mobile gallery it’s filled with nothing but Team Endeca’s birthday pics, and funny videos. Till yesterday they were pictures today they are memories.
P.S. We all missed you Suvarna(Team mate) and Shashank(Team friend).
