Strange how friendships just form and stay on like forever! I still remember the chap from companyL who joined dev team and went around introducing himself. :-) That was the first time someone actually broke the official-intro-session-rules@office. The fact that he was a junior whom we could bully around, grew up in some cities, knew a certain language did help him too ;-)
A farewell was planned with the guy treating us to a game of bowling and dinner. It was awesome fun (Wait a minute, weren’t we supposed to give him a sendoff or something first???). The icing on the cake was the Live singing (by a group visiting the restaurant for singing Christmas carols) "I hate to go" especially for him. Brownie points? A certain
The next day Sudks meticulously created a collage, with all of us giving our own 'smart' comments! ‘Savi Nenapu’ it read, with all our snaps in between. [Rings a bell?? Clue: The title of the post!] The greeting card, the cakes (including the egg less one) and the magic candles did brighten everybody's mood and we were off to treat ourselves to some bajjis! Change of plans and we landed up in V.V.Puram - a place supposedly famous for the amazing variety of food the stalls offer - dosas, chaats, rasmalai, gulkand, golgappa, lime soda ( I also saw a stall making fresh hoLige!) ; and also the amount of calories one will have to invariably consume! Lots of gossip, teasing each other from petty things to major ones, some flash-backs - all made a wonderful evening to remember!
It will definitely feel different, walking to my cube every morning and not greeting him with a "hiiiiiii", the afternoon walks and the crazy ideas/plots we come up with, the endless discussion of how-good-pritam-is ( in-lifting-other-tunes , of course!), bollywood movies/music updates (to name a few), all of which will be dearly missed. Thanks for everything :-)
Have fun dude wherever you go and be as charming, enterprising, enthusiastic, as always!
