Here I am, sitting in my cubicle all alone, waiting to leave it forever. Today is supposedly my last day in Infosys Pune, well, Pune. May be its natural, but the complete one year that I spent here is flashing right in front of my eyes, so clear, so loud. Thousands of feelings and thoughts are popping up, don’t know how and where to settle them. I remember the first day I stepped in here and I was amazed with the beauty of the Infy campus and excited with the very idea of inhabiting a new city. Living in pune was a beautiful and memorable experience. With all the goods and bads, I would rate it 8 on 10 though around 5 of these 8 points go to one soul reason. Anyways..! As I write this post, I realize how badly am gonna miss this place! I’ll miss its weather. For sure am gonna miss the awesome weather where you can expect a heavy down pour anytime any day while drizzling is almost permanent here, where you always prefer bathing with hot water round the year, where you prefer fan speed to be as low as possible (atleast I prefer that!), where sky is always cloudy and makes you fall in love with the city all the way more. Am gonna miss the hang outs, the CCDs, the restaurants, the places that I had been to, many of them hold warm memories for me, and I will always look back to them whenever I’ll think of my good times. Am gonna miss Infosys Pune DC, for its beauty, for its elegance, for its location which is surrounded by hills on all sides, for its FC1, FC2 and iBPO, will miss the times of ECC, SDB 9, SDB 7, SDB 8 (I guess only an Infoscion can understand these jargons!), for giving me my first project, my first team, my first technology, my first of everything in a corporate beginning, I’ll miss this DC a LOT! Am gonna miss H101, my flat, my first flat, first independent life, gawd I’ll miss it badly. It wasn’t really a flat, it was more like a home, thanks to three amazing partners of mine with whom life was all the way more beautiful. I learnt cooking, I learnt responsibility, I learnt what it takes to manage a home, both financially and emotionally, I learnt how to set the rules, I learnt how to define yourself, I loved my flat! Yes, am gonna miss the amazing people with whom I met and lived in pune and without whom all the above things wouldn’t have made any difference to me, I am gonna miss pune for numerous reasons but I’ll miss it most for the friends it gave me, every other reason is somewhere because of them only. Be it a colleague, a team member, a friend or a special friend, I lived every relation with its complete charm and no matter how things had been, I’ll remember each one of them, I’ll cherish each one of them. And when it comes to cherishing people attached to pune, I wanna say THANKS to the four closest friends of mine who were there with me in all the thick and thins, will miss you guys, will miss every second of our time spent together, whether on the roads of pune in FC, MG, KP, or in Infy, or in our very own flat, will miss you all, will miss the 5 of us together!
I wish something happens and I don’t have to leave today, but miracles don’t really exist, not atleast when you expect them so terribly. Well, here people say, life moves on, as of now, I see mine as still! All I can say in the end is.. Farewells are BAD! :(
