Adieu 2009 ..!!

The idea of writing this post came into my mind suddenly when I was busy reading my older posts and was completely lost in my world. Really, 2009 has been quite important and eventful for me... let it be in terms of emotions or academics or anything.

The year started while I was in college... enjoying classes, picnics, parties, birthdays and reading novels... watching movies... organizing functions. Not forgetting the academics part, we were busy in our projects also. Then time came, our classes were suspended and exam plans were out. We, bothered least about the sems, were busy in creating memories... spending more time with friends. Future was drawing nearer but we wanted to push it further... such was the time. Most of the quality times were those of the get-togethers... big or small... doesn't matter..!!

Then all of a sudden, the exam started and we got busy in our studies. Last sems are often tough for people having loads of memories. In the midst of exam, friends started leaving the college. I somehow adjusted myself, not to be emotional as I had more exams to give. Special moments came and went in between. Then finally, I reached the last day in my college. Some special friends made that really special. Such was the moment that, I could not help crying..!! Tears drop from my eyes even today when I think of that day. Next day early morning, my group started their trip and I really can't explain those moments (better not to do now, even). I too left in the afternoon... after meeting everyone.. with wet eyes..!!

Life at home then began rushing towards future. I was engrossed trying here and there my luck. And then, my fate smiled at me and within a month, I was again out of home... to a new world... the world of Corporate... almost all software engineer's world..!! Initial days were more or less like those academics days... we had to study... give tests... do projects... give seminars... blah blah. But within 3 months, that period also ended and we were into proper work and are still into it. This new world is really difficult to survive but not impossible.. and I am trying my level best. All that I have now is the memories of my Golden days... my college days... time with my loved ones... with my friends..!! When stressed at work, I think of these days... make myself happy and then get back to work... thinking, atleast I have all these memories treasured in my heart..!!

2009 has been great... blessed me a lot... though, there are still many desires left... yet it's good. As Reshma says,"Put your hand on your heart, smile and say... All is Well..!!". Hope 2010 also brings all good things to everyone. Amen..!!

You never always get what you desire but you always get what you deserve..!!

Golden Palms Special ..!!

After working for days and hours together, finally we got some time to relax our thinking nerves and take a day break from the monotonous schedule. An outing was decided to one of the most special as well as famous places in Bangalore, the Golden Palms Resort & Spa... the one which belongs to the actor Sanjay Khan, who played the dynamic role of the great warrior, Tipu Sultan and also the father-in-law of the superstar Hrithik Roshan.

The trip was quite refreshing and for the first time, I saw the sportive attitude of the Software Developers, who are by default very serious-looking and always lost in their systems. All the way, we cracked jokes and played Antakshari. After reaching the venue, we had breakfast but I was carried away by the beauty of the place, so full of nature..!! I took the snapshots and then moved to the cricket ground. The game was a great show, though my team didn't win :-) After cricket, various other games were tried. It was a great experience indeed. Then we gathered for lunch, which was quite delicious and contained almost all punjabi cuisines. I was quite happy for having good food after a long time (Bangalore food, really pathetic). We all moved to the swimming pool area. Here the whole place looked like heaven. I had a good time here with my camera. The pool here is the world's largest pool in any resort. I must add to it, this resort altogether is a place blessed with nature in all respects. Then there was a session of more fun games but it couldn't last long due to the rain. We all hurried back to bus. In bus also, the fun continued, we played Dumb Charade and read out all the notes of the Fish Tank... the common box, where one can write out chits addressing friends, colleagues or co-workers. And finally... with loads of fun and noise, the day ended. Hope more such outings to come in future..!!

Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong and the other one is right... It simply means that you value the relationship much more than your ego ..!!
