The last couple of days have been depressing....workwise. But yesterday was a great day.Jackie knew that I was depressed, so she, Kico and Volker decided to take me out for lunch to cheer me up. It was such a sweet gesture. By teh time we came back to office....I had a broad smile on my face.

The lunch conversation put me in to thought. We discussed how lucky we were to be working together, because there is so much of an understanding between us, that its amazing....each one knows when to speak, when to shut up, how to cheer up the other.....its brilliant.We just have maybe a couple of months left to work together....after that each one will go off in a different direction and the possibility of ever working together in the same team is 0. What amazes me is how people from totally different backgrounds, nationalities, colours, ideas can come together and build such a relationship which transcends the work relationship. Jackie- Caribbean, Kico- Italian, Volker- German, Myself - Indian .......

I have been really lucky in my work life...I have had the opportunity to work with so many nice people, who started as work colleagues, but ultimately ended as friends......
Gauri - Microland
Ashwin, Parag, Vimal, Sanket- Focus
KT, Pallavi, Rachna, Priti - CIT
Jackie, Kico, Volker,Medhat, Vaishali, Amresh, Sibashish, Kaushik - KPIT

So KT if u are reading this.......we have known each other for 7 years......believe that......cannot believe that 7 years just passed....

When I think about thes ethings I forget about all the stupid work problems that I otherwise keep worrying about. These relations are so important as compared to any work issues and it gives a warm feeling to think about these friends ...ofcourse everyone is all across the globe and we hardly meet, but the thought that these people will try to help u when u need them is a warm thought.....


so 3 Cheers to friendship.....
