5 years on.......

Its exactly 5 years since i left REC -A Heaven on earth . I prefer to call it so. Left the gates of the place 0n the 16th of may with tears .. All set to embark a new journey.

We set out with our offer letters ( for some of us ) to explore the outside world. hardly did we know how the world outside the gates of the great institution would look like. But as kamal said in Anbe Sivam 'Adutha Nimidam olithu vaithirikkum athisayangal yeralam' , we were ready to face it.

Personally for me , these 5 years have been a real roller coaster ride. A lot of funfilled momments. Exciting challenging.. name it I had it.. lots of new friends ..lots of contacts but yeah at the same time some bitter friends too..

Stepped into the wonderful world of Infosys. Wanted to become a chemical engineer but ended up becoming a software engineer :-( . but now i have no cribs about it. Infosys has been a good experience. Got caught in the very first month for the fault of possessing a Question paper and came to a situation of almost getting terminated.. Thank god P chandra was kind to us. Flunked in the training and again was back to square 1, was about to be thrown out of infy ( those days u fail in training u were out of the company) . but luckily cleared the re compre and was back in business..

October 1 2003, got into RBS.. turned things around for me .. came onsite. did what i like the most - Travel like crazy . But what turned out to be the key was my move to teh most dreadful place for many of us - M city .. I simply love this place .. it has given me everything including my recent MBS admit ..vso All smiling..

In these 5 Years i would say i have come a full circle. Had my share fo ups and downs , lots of travelling and yes lots of fights with some of the craziest characters on earth( i will post about them later)

The same has been wth my friends. Every one from our Rubygang is now well settled ..each of them have fouht their own war. One of them has just won a war that he fought for 5 years - Yes he is an IPS officer...

One thing I am really proud of our gang has been that till date all of us have been in touch with each other , still maintaining the respect and affection we had for each other when we were in college. Hope we stay the same for the years to come.

After 5 Years , i have put down my papers on the same day i left REC 16th May. As I set to embark my new journey of a student again , I am ready to face my "adutha Nimidathin Adisayangal' .. At the same time my I-pod is also reminding me ' Meri sapnon ki raani kab aayegi tu ' :-).
