Places

There is an overwhelming demand about the next blog ( if you can call 2 people asking as overwhelming ). This two men army has asked why there is such a delay in writing and I already feel like a king. The fact that there are people expecting you to say something is heart-warming.

Just that I don’t have much to say. Been busy! That’s also a reason. Hey, this is not to say that I was idle in Sify, you may presume that at your own peril but you will be right in your presumption, just that I don’t want the guys who paid me handsomely to have some kind of remorse. But anyway they aren’t those types of people. If there is something called as remorse, there would be something called as conscience and that means they would atleast rarely do some right things. So let’s not worry too much about this. Yes I was having a lot of time while I was at Sify and now I find myself doing decent work.

Life is one funny thing. You seem to think that you belong to a place and grow a feeling of sadness about leaving the place. Only to come out and find that there are other places which are simply great. Places where you are seen as a human being, an intelligent one at that and give the respect you deserve. And I think maybe because you are new, people go out of the way to smile at you, please you and you get stuff like a new laptop, Datacard for remote connectivity blah blah on the first day, so you also start feeling pretty special.

But the fact is places are nothing but people. You feel sad about leaving the place because of the people there. There I can’t have any other feeling but sadness. And despite the respect in a new place, till the time the people know you as a person as you had been known, it is just an alien territory.

There is always a piece of heart that is left behind in every special place, a place made special because of wonderful folks. And I am not ashamed to say that I left a piece of mine at Sify.

This is dedicated to all you wonderful folks. May you all find special places for yourself pretty soon. And here is a stanza from an amazing song from Beatles about places.

There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all.
