Infy- A journey equivalent to Bachelors

So, finally cometh the day....when e-Sep got approved and I can now bid adios to Infosys Technologies Limited.. it wont be just a goodbye to the 2nd ranked S/W firm in India.. but to all the memoirs of past 4 yrs, all the bashing and dashing, all those nite outs to find out a single @#$###$ bug, the days which taught how to spend 9.25 hrs in office without doing anything(productive :P) .., the colleagues (many of whom are the best of buddies now), the scrum calls(which used to be the replica of the last day updates), the Mezza9 parties before every Friday deployment(Gaurav S and Ashu would remember), team meetings( where everything was discussed but the project)..RESUE fundaes. (Haven't been able to implement anything till date in spite of being SME.. :$ .. Hope, I can reuse few of the lines from this blog in my last day @ Infy mail),... and it goes on and on and on.....

It had never been easy for a novice programmer(:P) like me (who never knew and for that sake will never understand the abC of programming) to join a so-called development project ; but, when I look in retrospective, it hadn't been that tough as well; thanx to all the ex-NSOians, for whom 'Being Kool or B+' didn't mean anything. The mantra had always been 'Be Agile'; and this is what which kept me going.
The period of 4 yrs has been nothing less than the 4 golden years @ ISM. The different shades of life and emotions learnt during the college days have been realized in its true potential here only. (Basically,as they say, came to know the bhaav of aata-daal..)

If I go for a 'Thank-You' list, it would be quite a huge 1.. but can't miss those....who have brought upon this e-Sep to me... its possible sometimes to run away from your own shadow, but not possible even in your wildest dreamzz to run away from these people... (Yess.. I am talking about managers... Its the same story everywhere.... No pun intended..)Will start in chronological order-- Sameer, Ashish, Ashu, Paresh, Ashraf, Amit, Ravi and Alok. Jokes apart, I have really been lucky to be under their able guidance and can't thank them enuf... So, here comes the end of a roller coaster ride with some good and some not-so-good memories to cherish upon. Wishing all the best to every1 and do wish me the same... please .. :P
