The Final day in Amdocs

Time and tide wait for none, and today it didn't wait for me either. Its 23rd of April 2010 and I am physically present in Office T12 N2-416 (thats the place I sit) but mind is on the clouds. You see, I am actually not supposed to 'work' on my last 'working day'. So its been a cool morning today in the summer of April and I have all things to do but resolving the BANs. This blog deserves a special wishlist since the words in this blog comes directly from cloud9 (not that stupid drink).I have just to clear the check list for exit form and I need to do it in morning hours. I have not taken any vacations and I have my joining in TCL on monday 26th April. Hectic weekend, since I also need to shift my belongings to new home.
I am stuck now with stuff; I think I am running short of them, but at the same time, my mind wishes me to write more. I am exactly not sure, how I feel at the moment, but I must admit, there is a sigh of releif and my apprehensions are subdued. Blogging has become my favourite way of communicating with my self. I feel I express myself more clearly when I happen to jot down whatever comes to my mind and which my fingers find comfortable to keep typing on and on...
Once again the the Good-bye mail has been written and is on its way to recepeints. I was actually unsure if I could convey how I felt leaving amdocs, and with what thought I was parting, but thanks to some developed skill, I did feel my message was conveyed. Here how the text go:
"Writing a Good-bye mail is not actually a wishful task to do. But then there are stages when you have to choose for the next step in life. Needless to say, working in Amdocs was one of the greatest learning experiences and most importantly, working with such a group of wonderful people had become sweet memoirs of my short experience here.

As I write this email, I have mixed emotions to share; some flourishing wishes and some apprehensions. But I am leaving on a gainful note. I have had moments of happiness and concern and truly I always had trusted the opportunities I got. Today I decide I need to choose my opportunities.
Thanking you once again for your support all through my stay here. Wish you good luck."

So I end here for today. Hope is the only thing I am carrying with me, as I enter yet another stage in my life.

Cheers
Bhola

Its a Breaking News....

And finally some good news coming my way. I have put my papers in amdocs last week and currently serving the notice period here. I resigned on 23rd March and have on offer in TCL for a very good position and a decent package. (Ofcourse if you get a nice role and a calm boss, who would care for profile?).  The decision has been taken and my wife is all settle to come down here and settle in Pune. All the ifs and buts had finally to be taken aside and our life needed a change for a stable life.
Finally we are looking forward for a settled life together, am to come out from the 'married bachelor' status. Its fresh like starting things all over again - looking for house, all the house-hold appliaces, TV, fridge, bed, crockery... and the list continues. We are excited. Making a new beginning all over again would be a welcome change and this has more promising things in life. Was waiting eagerly again to make a 'happy-blog' entry after long time. Had I posted this blog a couple of days earlier, it might just not have been in tune with the striking chord of my sentiments. I didnt want a date as April 1st to state something of utmost seriousness to our life. Notwithstanding, every word I type in this blog would carry a special sign of promise for a better life ahead. Meanwhile, things are only promising now and I scorn divulging too much on issues as has always been the case with me. I think I must confess to my little known facts about me. Sometimes I feel I am a guy too complicated even to myself. Seriously. I understand this could be a common issue, but then given the mind I carry my thoughts, there has always been pre-determined concept of apprehensions, which I just fail to give away. Whatever it is, I take it and accept for what I beleive. Not to make it heavy, I know I am a simple guy above all. Fine with the start, I look forward to continue this journey 'as it comes by' mode. To throw more light on how things materialized, I knew I had to go for a change in job and hence I went for it. Given that I had two offers, patience only demanded me more to get the best deal for me. Surely my wife is too happy at the prospect of a change for she too is ready to come and settle down at the cost of her job for time being. Family matters matters a lot and nothing could have been more pleasing than to prioritize family over anything else.
