Sifar - Every end is a new beginning.

When I left Motorola I felt bad for a lot of reason....friends, comfort zone, influence and mostly my skeptisism about change. Change which not only affected my comfort zone, but also my future...so it was natural to be skeptical. However I decided if I ever want to be someone more than what I was, I must accept change. So I setforth on my journey to a new city with number of friends I can count in one hand with holding a pen in it :-)

Seven month down the line...I am here, rocking and rolling.

Today suddenly I came across the mail I sent on the last day of my Mot stay. Just thought to post it before completely losing it. probably only letter I put a lot of thought into...:-)

Hi Friends,

Its a goodbye !!!

I am leaving Motorola and today is my last working day. It has been three wonderful years here, yet it feel like yesterday when we moved from college to this place with lots of apprehension. Fortunately things turned out to be great. The knowledge and skills that we acquired still doesn't feel enough though they were too many.

I made plenty of friends and acquaintance, but I am sad for some friendships that I couldn't make in short time. I really hope it doesn't end here and in some cases I am pretty sure it will never end. :-)

Well coming to thanking people :-)) My thanks to all the people here who know me and made me part of their lives. A large part goes to two people with whom I worked, Partha and Ramki. Well it was really great working with you two. Again let me not forget Manish, Ankush, Rahaman and Prabhu who shaped and influenced my career a great deal and to all my team members to be patient with me.

Lets be in touch !!! :-)

Thanks,
Shakti

P.S: This is one of the best poem I've ever read which perfectly describes me at this time :-)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
