The Power of Internet

Hey Hey!

I have spoken about my first job being Genpact. From what i have known.. u really cant forget a lot of firsts... ur first love, ur first kiss, ur first time abroad and i agree, your first job. I can never get Genpact out of my system. The things that I learnt there, the people i met there, the friends I have made there, the professional I became there.
Genpact saw me working among a team of 11 immediate team members. I remember each of them clearly and can recall their mannerisms and their singular habits so so vividly as if it were all just yesterday we were together.

Now, i left this particular team to come back to my hometown back in 2006. Post that, i have beem in touch with some of them regularly, some of them on and off and some of them not at all. Among us, many have moved on to other companies and jobs, some have stayed back at Genpact and some of us have also ventured abroad for Genpact assignments. All of us are now married, some have even become a parent! All in all, most of us have grown up and learnt our way around the world.

Remember, i had written about Ajay a couple of posts ago. He was the leader of this mad team. A mishap among one of us got us all back together. Taking updates from one of us to me calling up another team member and an email chain got started wherein we started marking the mail to all those who were a part of the team. Regardless of which company they are in now, while we are on the same mail chain, we belong together.

It has been a great get together! All of us have been delighted to be back in touch with each other. the highlight of the day is to receive a mail from someone of this group, either recalling an anecdote or simply reviving an old nickname or mannerism! what fun those days used to be and how in a matter of moments we are all back to the days we call 'golden' and recall fondly.

Ajay, Steve, Sheetu, Vasudha, Himanshu, Anurag, Ady, Manish, Ebad - this is too u guys! U rock!

And this is something i belive in now...
"there will be new friends,
and there are friends that are old...
The new is silver,
And remember, that old is gold!"

Keep the chain moving!
