Today is our 6th Anniversary

I met her when I was in my final year. It was a short meeting where I answered few questions and was generally rambling about myself. Exams arrived and so there was a long gap. We got back together immediately after my final year engineering exams. I liked her a lot, for, she was the first one to truly accept me for what I was.

There has been no looking back ever since. There was lot of love, loads of passion and bundles of commitment from my side. Relationships are built with no favors in return, but she reciprocated for every action, good or the otherwise, of mine – a reason I never looked at anyone or anything outside of this relationship.

She taught me the need to persevere. I have had my tough times with her, but I pulled on. She has had some bad times with me, but she decided to hold on to me. In our six years of journey together, I have grown mature and have learnt a lot about life and the challenges it poses.

June 1, 1999, when I started my professional association with Sify, I never knew I would come this far. We are entering into our 7th year together and it feels like it was just yesterday

  2. Hey J, yeps am for real. And there are two others who joined with me with whom am gonna celebrate this day.

    I wud love to change jobs too. But here, I have got complacent with what am doing. And that prevents one from seeking challenging oppurtunities, right ?

    The fact is, I have been fed with challenges all along and it never got to a point where it got boring. But then, there are days when I felt that way, but got over it when the next project was assigned... Am waiting to see what my breaking point would be !

  3. Thanks Smyta,

    No Champagne and no quiet evening. Just planning to break the trend of watching movies on weekends. It's already 7.00 PM and am not sure if we are gonna stick to the plan. In which case, it would be a quiet evening at home without the Champagne...Ammakku ithellam pidikaathu !!!!

    Ha ha ! First year anniversary and feels like hell already ? Enna vishayam... No one seems to be stable :o(

  6. Hey Krish, welcome to the club. Am sure it is an awesome feeling growing up in one place. I have known people who have worked in the same company during their entire working renure. HCL Tech Vadapalaniya ?

    Smyta, sure did have an amazing blast. Scrapped the movie plan and went out for dinner. And the Champagne suggestion was a cool one. I did manage to guzzle a bottle of beer. What makes me so dedicated ? Lol, maybe the fear of taking risk... :p

    Ashish, celebrated my day with 3 other friends dining and wining. Btw, where were you ? I thought you would be there too ? Aww Do I have to wait another year to treat you ?

    This was a good one. This reminds me of my first job- tea master. I did that for 2 days still enjoyed every bit of it. It still stays close to my heart. My second'un was also good- paper boy. only that I went on a RX100 for everyday paper distribution. Those were the two jobs that taught me what life is.
