Parting thoughts...

Its 20th of Jan'09 & I am in a new city & in a new company & yes I took a long time to put this as a latest blog entry. You can well understand my plight, all throught this time, though I was not so busy frankly; but I had to wait for facts & ideas to make a blog entry.
The last day in Tata was calm & I didn't make it an emotional affair. There were sentiments of old emotions which tried to hit the strings deep somewhere in my heart, but I subdued them all inside & happily made merriment since I was leaving for a good cause for myself. The farewell get-together was touching & comforting. I realized people had actually a genuine concern of me leaving them by resigning from the company. Few words of genuine appreciation were expressed & I too humbly expressed my gratitude to all members. Special advice to my team members to work smart, for they are already hard working enough. All things apart, I will really miss those guys a lot. Cant ever get a wonderful team as the ever hardworking, sincere CLR team.
I will take another blog entry to describe many of the new aspects of a new life in a new city in a new company. Right for now, I would like put excerpts from my last parting words to all colleagues in the email I sent to them. This is just for a rememberance point & recollections of my gratitude & thankfulness to them.
Here it goes:

"This could have been one of the most sentimental mails I could ever write, but I choose to let the words flow straight from my fingers. There is indeed no much enthusiasm involved but certainly I felt my parting words should not be too much of a formal affair. Of all the official communications to many amongst you, I knew this mail would not be a thing to be read for the sake of reading, neither it could be thought of as a usual forward mail straight from the mailbox of unique source of resource, Bhola Prasad, the name was so famous for.Yes pals, fortunately or unfortunately, this date happens to be my final day in Tata Communications.The 3 & half year journey saw me transformed into a professional team lead from a fresher straight from college. It was a no special journey & it actually is no different from many of my other colleagues who started from the same line. Like others, I found it easy to get to the terms of knowledge acquisition & made significant advances in both professional as well as personal front. It is true my journey during my stay here had moments of happiness & remorse; I don’t deny that. It was a long period & I had witnessed a change in environment from VSNL to Tata Communications; not only that I also saw my section changed to Back Office Provisioning from the famous group TM -the Traffic Management. Oh yes, I had even witnessed all members from my old section changed to different ones (some even changing the company) & I only thought I had all the more reasons to be much loyal to the section & to the company.It was indeed a fortunate opportunity when I got involved into the CNMS project & got to work on the network IMS dataload, the Cramer tool. The project provided me the platform to showcase the best of my talent & expertise. It was a crucial phase & required completion in stringent timelines & amazingly it helped to improvise my technical & professional skills. Bhola Prasad like many others became a famous name involved in this project. I must thank to each member who was involved in the CNMS project, for it was a sole team effort & nothing individual. Fortunate enough I was to move back into the Provisioning section & yield the fruits from the seeds we sow in the project. Well time has set limitations for all things & my luck too wanted a change for me. So here I go & this is the e-mail signifying just that. Needless to say I could ever forget such a wonderful company of co-workers. You were ever helping directly or indirectly & this was the way I took all the things I dealt with any member. Let me just thank to each one of you for contributing to my growth. I wish you all the very best in life & in all your endeavours.Lest I should be allowing more of my thoughts to consume your valuable moments, I just bid you a good time ahead."
Cheers
Bhola Prasad
