Nostalgic!!!

Hi... am back again... Its been months that i didn't pen down anything. I was so busy with my work schedule, I just could not sit down and write down my thoughts. With my day starting at 6.30 in the morning and getting over at 12.00 in the night with a 9.00 am to 8.00 pm job, i find it extremely difficult to keep blogging... But yes, I make a promise to myself now to keep updating my blog.

It so happens that you come to a new place, start criticizing it, praise the old one and then start slowly loving the place and liking the people around you. I am going to write down about the same kind of feeling I found myself in the midst of today.

I left Hyderabad 2.5 years back and took a job at my hometown. I didn't leave a stone unturned to criticize the Goa office and the environs here. Always fussy and comparing things with my office at CA Hyderabad. Missing my group and friends and Hyderabad became part of my life.

I had an apprehension about the kind of group I would find here at office. I remember the first day I joined here, I went with Sriman since he worked here too. I hardly knew people here. I went to lunch with Sriman's group. That was the first time I got introduced to Saif and Sonal.

Saif, a Chubby, bubbly and talkative fellow and Sonal, very attentive, naughty and with a very sharp memory who is always ready to grill you with her questions. I just seemed to strike a perfect rapport with the group. Though i missed being with my group. Days passed by and we started getting along so well, I wouldn't feel missing Hyderabad the way i felt before.

It has always been fun ever since with this Group. Though it is not the way like how it was before with my group where we would go out for dinners and on weekends, it feels nice to be a part of it.

It was the last day of Saif in the Goa office today. He has taken a transfer to Pune. We knew about this for a month or so, but it didn't feel weird or bad about it until today. Today when we said bye to Saif, it felt real weird and sad. I started remembering all the past 2 years and the fun we had in the group.

The name calling, the silly arguing, the secret talks, the secret code names... It felt like the group was being ripped apart. I was remembering the day I left Hyderabad in tears. My group must have felt the same way when I had left. I could feel the same way how Sabita must have felt bidding me adieu.

It was a nostalgic feeling for me. People meet and people part, but memories remain forever. Wish we didn't feel the pain of parting and wish it was always full of smiles...

In the same kind of morose mood, I thought of penning down these thoughts and guess what, I hit Sabita's blog wherein she just was missing Hyderabad after joining at Kolkata.
I just happened to login into Facebook and there goes Krushna's status... "Missing Hyderabad".
And it continues... I thought.

Wow I say to myself, today should have been declared as "Nostalgic feelings day". Jokes apart, I'm sure Saif will not life the Pune environment for the first week or so and then slowly will start adapting to it, and finally he will fall in love with the place. It always happens that we start liking the place that we stay for long and we get attached to the people we spend time with.

So here's wishing Saif a very eventful and happening new life. May his wishes come true and luck follow him where he goes. All the best Saif!!!
