New girl in my life !

New girl in my life!

Adorable, true fighter, mood swings, shopping, travelling, difference in opinion, vegetables, backlashes, love, tender, soft moments, friendship, sense of belongingness, partying and partying hard…
Yes life has been full of all these and I am writing about my better half... Anamika after almost 1.5 years of marriage. People say life changes after marriage, yes it does and for me it changed 360 degree but for good.
Lost some friends, won some… Lost some hearts, won more hearts…
When you travel in Volvo bus and give up the window seat to your better half, then yes you are in love…
When tired coming from office and again you have to go back and buy something and you do it with a smile, yes you are in love…
When you try to cover up your wife's mistake... yes you are in love…
At times you give up your favorite programs then yes you are in love…

Very happy to commit always, yes I am in love…

Last few days @ Steria

Last few days @ Steria

More than a couple of days left in Steria. The energy is down, taken myself on the backfoot dont know why... Yet there is a ray of hope of win-win situation for me and Steria.
I will remember the lush green lawns where we celebrated many events and breaking ice with new members in the team. Playing cricket in the play-area till today could not discover whether the play-area was actually meant for playing basketball or tennis. There is also a faint memory passing by that we won a match against one of the process teams, well I don’t like to praise my captaincy in the match but the medals are the testimony. When irritated used to walk down to the waterfall area, water resonates from the top and produces a genuine expression of nature which eases all the worry, tension etc. and gives lot of energy & vista. We also used to have B-day celebrations at this place. Will miss the gossiping at Phase III, all wondering @ Steria Pune we have only Phase I and Phase II, where does this Phase III comes from? We call tapri as Phase III, where we used to break for tea in morning and in evening and discuss topics ranging from cricket to Indian economics to General elections, yes it’s the year 2014 and a ripple effect of NAMO travelling across.
Will remember second stint of my cubicle, yes I changed my cubicle post my below average performance in 2011, where I was best at cracking ideas, well that’s my take JJJ….
Most importantly shall miss the people be it Managers, Business, and various other stake holders…
There was a new learning whilst working with each and every individual. People elder to me taught me patience, professionalism while the younger lot taught me how to build relationship faster.
I shall remember recruitment reviews (Video conferences...) though am aware will have it in my new organization.
The most difficult task came to me when I had to prepare a handover folder; my mind was not ready to accept that there are few days left to be with those wonderful people. However, I had to do so I have started preparing my handover task.
I can go on & on ; on and on about my experience…… but everything has an expiry date…
Though there will be a ray of hope in my heart when I walk down on the last day that I could meet all these wonderful people again...

Cheers………………….
