It feels very odd, to say good bye, officially. Personally, I couldn't wait to say it to someone recently, but then that was because things had gone from bad to worse and there was no way out of it. Officially, its been very long since I wrote a mail with a few words of thanks. And to get not one but two farewell lunches... Well, it felt weird. I was (or am) the one who was still up and about in the same place for the past 10 solid years and I have said good bye's and farewell's to quite a lot of people, including my friends who went away and came back. But this is my time to say adieu to my friends and acquaintances in Hyderabad. Of course, I am not much for those feeling-emotional-sort-of emailing person. So it was said with some simple words, but which comes from my heart nonetheless. The people I said 'thanks' in my email are the ones who really mattered to me and who definitely made my stay here a memorable one. I have long lost the art of missing someone or something, more so that I have become a little careless even. So it goes without saying that I don't feel much emotionally leaving this place, because I know one day I might have to take that decision and I would have to move ahead. The only unexpected thing was that this happened even before I completed a year here. Even though the technology has shrunk the world, there is nothing like knowing a person in person. And I am glad that I got to know a few people here in person and have become close to them in the duration of my stay.
To my friend here in Hyderabad, whom I have known during my first stint in U.S, getting to know her more has been a real pleasure. Thank you once again (I know you will read this post some day :)...) both for letting me know the amazing person you are and also including me in your group of friends too, who have since then become my friends too and have welcome'd me to their quirks so whole heartedly. May all your wishes and dreams (at least all your iWishes) come true and I am eagerly waiting for the month of November :). Hope you can make out for a trip to Bangalore before that.
The manager of the team here, who helped me out with my hostel hunt and all in the beginning till I got hold of this place and was comfortable in my skin, Thanks to you. You and your team have been very very supportive and I am glad that I was able to help you out in my own ways with my knowledge of the domain which was pretty new to your team. This stay here has made the release of our product a much better one.
To my tea-friends. I did not say it lightly when I said that I have grown much when I have been here. Because to get myself acquainted with new folks, the way I have got to know you people, is something of a miracle to me. But most of that credit goes to you folks, for making me comfortable too. Thanks for that.
I haven't had much chance to go around the place (I don't think I will do that, because being in Bangalore also I never did that..) but to watch the places I had wanted to, like the Golconda Fort, Zoo etc with my sister, this time, well, I am glad I could take my sister's family around here.
Now that my vehicle and luggage have already been transported, the only remaining piece is me. I will be leaving Hyderabad today and this is my 2nd stint in this city, after around 12 years. I am not sure what future holds or actually where my future is, but I am glad that I was here this time around.
y'all take care, Until next time....
