That was the day, weirdly I did not feel weird! I was not angry on Infosys, unlike many of my colleagues, but I wasn't even happy. This was the place where I came almost 5 years back. It was my life for 5 years! Traveling 31Kms (1 hr to come and 2 hrs to go..) daily from my home to Hinjewadi. Spending minimum 9.15 hours was mandatory now. So I used to spend my about 12 hours of the day in my service to the company! But spending time is not difficult is it?
I had a group of friends, many of them still are my best friends! Spending time with them in Food courts was a bliss! Standing in long queues for everything was a daily routine for an Infocion, like me.Yet none, except one was there to bid me goodbye. All had either left Infosys or gone onsite! Writing my last day mail was painful experience. I was separating form Infosys. this was the last mail for #56129 :

It happened so fast yet so slow…..
I am so happy and yet so sad…..well, these are clichés from my side….but these are my true feelings..
I was taking things as if nothing is happening but as soon as I got my E-separation approved my heat started beating faster…
Now I know I have finished a part of my journey of 4 years, 6 months ,21 days, 4 hrs…. .It was a long one at some instances and short one at others .
And soon I will start a new journey into this cold world again. Far from “comfort” of Infy , Far from friends , some more than friends , some colleagues…..
My journey started from Mysore…..I really have fond memories of it…
Slogging in nights, Perception, Arun Nair, hostels , gazebo , Loyal world , Compri ( fortunately no re-compri)…
I got the desperately wanted Pune DC phase -2 with just 4 buildings in May 2006 ( SDB1-2-4 and FC1 )
I joined WellPoint in FPA, working for almost 18 hours a day even on weekends .I made few friends who still are with me…The FPA night shift of 3 days I can never forget ( everyone slept including the PMs for last 2 of the 3 days). It was a fun time with equal hard amount work.
In 2008 I went to Denver it was a cold and a pleasant experience. I will miss that place the most.
Blues café, Starbucks, 83L, Le Central, 7-11, 11th floor, conf room 11-11 , P3 parking, Chipotley, Jeff Capilitz and most importantly the people…..it was all very great
I will soon meet them anyways…
I had a brief time in Aetna… it was insignificant but a learning experience.
I am a normal infocion not too good neither too bad! I had my share of ups and downs…and I hold no grudges..
I will really miss BB, Infy_rockers , Queues for spoons , DARTs, queues in FCs, Heat of FC2 in summers, the far MLPL, 9.15 hours rule, WellPoint, coffee group,
Sparsh ahh…. And the list goes on.
I know its time for me to go…As they say in INFOSYS…Best of luck to you , for your future endeavors.
I hope our paths cross soon.
I always thought that Friday was supposed to be my last day!! But it seems it’s not :)
