Bye-Bye mail at Reliance : Ooops I did it again .. a Poor song even when I depart

Memories remain memories when you remember them :: So my farewell mail etched from one and half years of doing nothing good at reliance except sneaking out with bunch of friends always available on call, to carry out covet operations like extended breakfasts at nearby malls, matinee shows of all those movies which score less than 2/5, and ofcourse making the best use of office bulletin board... so here it goes
===================================================================
The waves were rough, the clouds were dark , and all we did was anchor, cuddle with fear and be together
but then we dissolved the differences; fought hopelessly, bruised, bled but emerged out stronger.
Now as the weather is getting calmer, and shore is getting closer, questions flounder
" will prosperity ruin us more than the devastation" " " did we just jump, to fall down deeper"

History is Amir Khan of GHAZNI, Hefty, Rich and lots of learning but less of retention
It has an undying mission but clouded with inchorency and digression
A Resolute short term goal, left helpless because of faded vision
So efforts are enormous but they cant pull one out coz are in different direction

The key is putting the jigsaw puzzle together, to see beyond boundaries and synergise
Its not how deep are we in; how high we need to climb, But a spirit relentless to rise
Persistence and a united front, have helped us win when we could have failed otherwise
and if this mail could just bring a smile and a breath of hope, it would be one of my most wonderful byes

Bye Bye Reliance ADAG



As my tenure with Reliance ADAG approaches the end, the emotions wrapping around has shades similar when I left Tata Consultancy Services, in summer of 2007. Undeniably there are comparisons:




  • I joined both these organizations, from campus. So I carried the carefree attitude of a student and walked in the board room with a set of friends with whom you had shared late night Maggie or gulped mugs of coffee and shared stories before. There was a companionship and support structure with you when you enter the gates the new world. The platform where you were before joining the organization and set up you need to get geared to are same for all these campus hirees, so the degree and steps of adjustment are same, example living together again in same or near by apartments, the same mode of commute, the same period of shopping spree and lot others.

  • Both of these organizations are conglomerates, so huge, so much so that, even a set of 200 campus hirees could get lost and its becomes difficult to be pin pointed, your group becomes your camouflage. One refers to you as MT ( Management Trainee) or GET ( Graduate Engineer Trainee) or simply Trainee. You are given space of time and comfort, nursed and treated with series of programs to help you assimilate to main stream.
    The noise and color of excitement level, when 200+ invade offices straight from campus is so vibrant. The rest of world looks on with curious eyes and sometimes with eyes of interest.

So I move on to take the first step of my corporate life, to move from one organization to other rather than a campus. I think, Change is inevitable and 6 years after graduating from REC Trichy, it is too late an experience. As I leave Reliance, I look back to those times when I had been cribbing about the culture and work ethos, quite a similar way to which I had done at TCS, also the lack of opportunities and grooming but also losing a set of close buddies who made the journey look so beautiful and memorable.
But this is inevitable and confrontation is the best way forward, so “Keep walking - Move on “

"Missed me" - Song

They say lose it to gain it ... same goes for love..
get bruised .. get the pains .. to relish the sweetness...
This poem is for those who miss their beloved ones and who are on their return path
for you always return back at least once to those you love..
********************************************************************************




Life is a cyclone
Minus you
I am all alone
without a glimpse of you

Seconds are spread across mile
If I cant find you
Jokes are without " the cute" smile
If I cant share that with you

Wish you cared
how much I missed you
Wish you wondered
how much I felt for you

World wont have been dear
Had it not been for you
I was a stranger in my mirror
But only for you

I always dreamt
I was beside you
I always thought
I walked along you

What was it that hurt
And I still cant blame you
What caused love fall apart
And I still dont wish to realise it was you

For you .. and it was only you ..
who awakened me to what was love
and then again it was you
who has filled my waiting eyes with love
Love ....
a sweet bitter thing called Love ..
a roller coaster ride called Love ...
Find it .. lose it .. and find it not to let it go....
and call it LOVE

Poor Song gets poorer

Poor song for those who stay in house, lock them up, are stingy and just not like the vagabonds ( including me )
=================================================================
It is such a wicked thing to do
to spend your youth in home and loo

Arise , Awake Mr. Singh
and realise that life is to sing
to spread a smile
and walk a mile
than confine
and shrugg to dine

out and hard, coz you misthink
that it would stink
if you dont hoard money
for your dreams and honey


But do you realise
that these long life filled with years is small in size
so it should be filled with smiles and fun
and not with the tension gun

Dont be the busy bee
or the caged poddling of the pea
Kill the inner Lust
Get out, explore, and dont just rust
