Happy New Year - 2009

May we all have Many working days in 2009.

Oye ,..It's Friday...

Ya ya ,...it's Farhan's new show on NDTV Imagine...

after a long time ...I ahve something to watch on TV...I do not know why I like it...It's different I suppose...anyways...Roadies is losing it's steam...and I had too much of laughter challenges too now...

so... I am sticking to Oye...It's Friday ;)

enjoy the show...

I will be...

I promised to myself today, "I will be happy" or at the least..."I will sound happy"...

I realised that I have survived difficult times only by being happy .... That's the only strength I have in me...Thats the only source of light for me...all these years...

So now Hirdu will be tasting his own medicine...

Be Happy...No matter what comes...

Losing Friends at Work...

I never thought, I will feel so sad...someday...

I am losing my friends at work...

With Markets going grim and Software Industry going haywire, it's now normal to hear companies laying off employees for benefit of who will survive.

As I am writing this blogpost...Some of my friends are getting pink-slips in distant land. 

I met few last year and never met most in-person. But all of them were always connected to me...very near to my heart. 

We laughed together, we worked together, we got frustrated at times, sometimes at each other...but we were always together...we might have not shared the table at dinner...but we always wished each other "have a great weekend"....we cared for each other...we were more than colleagues...we visioned together...we celebrated small wins and we mourned even smaller losses....We were afraid at times, we were concerned for each other....and we were together...

Going to work won't be fun anymore from tomorrow...I might be searching the soul of work all together again...

I am sure I'll feel stranger at work...the cubicles will somehow become walled cages...and I don't know...while I am writing ... how many of us will survive...and even if we survive...will we survive "Human"

I am sad, and I am angry too...and I feel helpless...

I want to wish them Happy Christmas...I want to believe that they will keep the spirit, I want to hope that I will find them again...someday at work...

I want to work with them more...and enjoy working with friends...

Call Reinit ()

So I called the reinit () in my life...it's almost full circle....
The market is back to recession...as it was when I started in software industry....so I have called a reinit () and then started finding all the contacts I had lost touch....
Yesterday I was able to track three of those contacts from linkedin and today ...I was able to talk to 2 of those...and to the 3rd gtalk contact has been made...

It was such a fun to reconnect...
I was talking to 1 after 7 long years and to another after 5....but while we talked...it felt as if we never lost touch...somehow we were able to track each other somewhere...we were able to relate to each other...although many things have changed....but life underneath is still alive...that is what counts...
