Snow Fall

My First snow Fall, I gazed, I enjoyed and I played like a kid when I was finally let out telling me that when it snows its actually not as bad as you think.. :) .. it was a light snowfall though.

I starred at the snow for almost about 2 hours from my window right from the time it started took me a while to figure out what actually was going on , as it started to get little heavier realized the dust of wind was actually snow and I jumped and got all excited, opened up all the blinds of my room and roamed all around with cam to get a good angle but couldn't. This was at 6 in the morning and was still having the jet lag and what better way to kill time so woke up my wife from her marathon hours and started getting excited and shooted all sorts of dumb questions for which I could only hear little hmms as she was still in her deep sleep.

A faint voice came as I observed the winter bird flocks having fun and the seagulls taking there stance facing the snow, and she said "go down and have fun!". I was damn excited, sorry if i am exasperating but it was the first time I saw this wonder call snowfall right in front of my eyes. I couldn't dare to go out and was too lazy to go out with that 10lbs jacket of mine but from last night's chilled winds and freezing cold weather I was also scared that if it snows it got to be more freezing and I didn't want to dare.

"What nonsense, you should experience this", said my wife and dragged me down, "its not that bad as you think just grab a normal jacket of yours and we are good to go", she added. I went along but hesitatingly but all excited and once I got out I was freaking happy that it really wasn't that bad and the snow felt so good to the my slipper-ed feet like a velvet carpet. Its a nice feeling which got out the kid in me.

Sporting a new avatar this winter !!!

This is the look I go out with and yet feel terribly cold. Last time I came was in summer and I saw all the species go half naked in paths, rails and public commutes and as I wish to see again I gotta wait for about 4-5 months. This is the first time I am exposed to such chill winds and cold temperatures and its gonna take a hell lot of a time to adapt. I was wishing to see some snowfall before I came and was all excited but .... not any more not any more ...

Send off

Emotional Send off…..

Yes it was an emotional last working day for me…well more than me for the people who have known me for long. I was in mixed emotional state of finally meeting my girl it was over an year’s wait and every time we meet its like a vacation, I was happy and excited that we’d be staying together setting up home etc etc. On the other hand little nostalgic about the years I worked here. My parents getting sentimental about the stay and my friends asking me when I will come back for which I had no answer.

There were also people who come up with these brilliant exclamations… “Couldn’t wait huh? You had to go the same day you finished working here”, “someone is desperate to meet”, “hell bent to go to US uh?”...Smile or nodding to what they say was my reaction. I love these people they are perfect for lateral thinking if you ask me but if only they did this thinking over their decisions.

In my farewell lunch I discovered a poor soul’s grudge on me on having moved closely with the person he wanted to talk???(yes just talk :P). The girl was in the team for a very short period and I was best friends with her, much to the dislike of many other colleagues including my wife as I discover from other incidents narrated by wife. Well this guy all along showed his keen interest in knowing my love story and was puzzled why it didn’t work out with his dream sweetheart. He is unlucky not to read the myfariest-lady blog and also if only he’d be the man to speak up to a girl he’d not be crying/cribbing over so much.

Anyways I am not here to teach someone but it feels really good to pinch someone without knowing if only had I known I would have raised the expectations even more. Later that evening had a farewell party at office… where everyone speaks good about me and it happened the same way but much to my surprise there were more tears than words.. Completely swept off by the affection I share with them. I surely will be missed and I’ll miss them too. Blame the Boss I was prepared to stay :-p

Now for the climax, at the airport my parents in laws and my dear friends.... me assuring my parents I will back soon and assuring my in laws that I’ll take care of their daughter and to my friends I was listening and fooling around, it was a good send off until I took my luggage and stepped inside at the entrance everyone stopped by and there was huge emotional burst and especially that of my friends which over took my parents.. They were little shocked by the reaction their son was getting and my in laws seeing their son in law among the thick of emotions from their daughter best friends :P and my wife was surprised and puzzled that why didn’t I get such a reaction when I left…?

I being myself was showing all my teeth for the most of the above and was eager to get out on the flight. C’mon People you all have seen me long enough I need someone to tell me how much I miss home: P

Checkout my farewell gift

Thank you

Thank you to my 1st company, I share a lot of experiences with it and have the most fun filled years. I got the biggest promotion in my career thanks to you ... Marriage!. Below are few memories in my small tenure of 68 months....

Initial days when I joined this was the huge group isolated/restricted on one floor now its just 9 of us in a container :)




Client visit in Salt Lake City, Utah




Road trip to canyon, Steve n Shanna my two best friends in SLC made the trip ever so memorable without their company my trip would have been very very very boooring.




Out Bound Learning(OBL) programming in the same year gave me an opportunity to open up with the rest of the members of my company(gals in particular) and i never looked back :-p



Was mostly in the thick of team outing and celebrating birthdays :D giving b'day bumps was the icing in both the cases.




Aarku Trip being the trip to break free from work, this was fun and went perfectly according to plan .. the jeep ride sitting on top it was the highlight...



A Photographer was born :)




at the company day.. company days were always fun except for the last where we got completely isolated.. but nevermind....




Thick friends ... awesome threesome =))
