Till we meet again..

Two people quit from my workplace last week.

Coincidently, I have had the pleasure of working with both of them.Both are really good at what they do.

Another coincidence , Both have really long names...16 and 13 alphabets ; an absentminded biologist could have mistaken them to be their biological names...err...!!!

Zee (really abbreviated form) fowarded my resume to the HR department when I was looking for a job a couple of years ago & I got it(Still working there). We were together in college and I remmembered her for the girl who was so engrossed in doing her C/C++ that she once put a semi-colon instead of a full-stop when she was taking some notes for a quiz we organised for an inter collegiate event.(Now I remmember her
for the girl who kicks really hard on the shins)

So after fowarding my resume , I was called for an interview.

I called her up in the morning of the interview.

'Hi Mistry!'

'Hey'

'Do well , okie ?'

'Yup'

'Best Of Luck'

'Thanks'

'Okie , chal!!'

'Bye'

I called her up again.

'Mistry !!' (please note the double exclamation and the absent Hi)

'Hey Zee'

'Nervous kya ?'

'Nopes'

'You'll do well.Come fast'

'Errr..Zee..actually I called for that'

'For what ?'

'Where am I supposed to come in the next 30 minutes'

'WHAT !?!? YOU DONT KNOW.You have been passing the office everyday on your way to college for 4 years.How come you never noticed' (For someone who was so sincere and peculiar abt the details of her plans...this must have been hard)

She realised that she had answered the question ,gave me the address.I got through.
I am not sure she got the referal bonus yet.

(Approximately...A year later)

'Kapil , you will have to goto Chennai on a knowledge transfer'.My manager informed.

'Okie'

'You will have to leave this Wednesday'

'Yes'

'Any problems with that ?'

'No.Whom do I have to co-ordinate with ?'

'Mail Shyamala (abbreviated again)'

The obedient & sincere lad that I was , I updated her about my travel plan.

I started my preparations for Amma's land 'Mad-ras'.If anyone is having a really hard time in choosing what to pursue - Movies or Politics or just be deified - Join the film industry - Alls included in one package.

Since I had completely forgotten about what I was supposed to work on. I asked Shyamala for ADVANCED DOCUMENTS which I could read.

Well, next day I got her marriage invitation.

She shifted to San Jose into a new home and I had got a small momento for the same when I reached San Jose this Sepetember.

I was supposed to give it to her when I was supposed to leave back for India.

Well ,Shyamala decided to leave first.

Zee's mail had a nice line - 'Till we meet again cause I am not saying Goodbye :)'
