Here I go.. took 2 days 4 me come to terms wid it.. still not out of it.. but I luv writing. So I thought this will relieve some stress… 10th aug… just another Monday(I thought).. usual Monday morning blues… went to passport office thinking tat good things lay ahead for me nu.. everythin went good… d CSP was as always fantabulous.. wid ramas at his usual best… and late in d evening myself sharu and kash was discussing abt how v r gonna read 4 PEGA certification.. BTW v received a mail from our DH to be available for whole of tmrw… at abt 7, without havin any clue abt what s in store 4 us, I went and asked ramas, how abt studying PEGA together..he s someone who wanna always learn new things.. his reply was surprisingly subdued.. I thought he was held up wid some other stuff… then casually I asked abt tat mail from DH… he said its better tat u know it tmrw.. but as always ramas knows me better and one more time I asked, he said the words which I hope I don’t hear it any more in my life.. but thank god it came from d person I adore d most… all he said s there s bad news waitng 4 us.. and tat s d news of lay off of 120 odd freshers who r non billable… not a good thing to hear by any means how good ur attitude may be… and I went back and as always conveyed it back to my best buddy sharu!!!ya she took it well!!!! After all she has gone through d worst believe me!!!! There end 10th aug…. professional point of view.. personally it was emotional… don’t wanna go any further…
D BIG DAY------BLACK DAY
Started from home at abt 8… knowin tat it s gonna b a day to forget… my mom still believing tat some miracle will save me nu!!!! Btw couldn’t control tears.. cried all d way from my home till office!!! Damn it tat 1 hr long journey seam to take entire life time… there I go inside the office,, thank god my access card worked.. I went inside.. sharu as usual was smiling big and asked me to punch in.. I was on to it in a flash since I know its gonna be my last day!!!but all laughed around me… oops then I realized tat v weren’t allowed to… even d slightest hope faded and there I faced reality!!!! I made all d packing… my cubicle mate meena(a studious gal) asked my mobile for callin her hostel.. and good god she bcame emotional and tat s enough for my tears to start d reservoir.. btw it never dried… and then my dear sis at office nivi came… I would have been happier if atleast my sis was retained!!!! in another half an hour d process started.. in my words it’s a funeral for a living one… yup.. tat s how it feels… honestly.. meena, rajiv, ram…. And it continued… and myself and sharu had a bet abt who will b called 1st… fun in sorrow!!! THEN CAME RAMAS, SURESH, PRADEEP, ASHOK AND ALL OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.. ALL R PRESENT FOR D FUNERAL OF 14 LIVING ONES..!!!believe me I am proud tat I worked under these ppl… they r not d usual seniopr ppl… I never felt it tat way during my tenure in AIGSS… I donk know whether I will work for these ppl but if tat comes true I will b d happiest…then myself and sharu decided to meet our big boss!!!! Ashish Johari…. Both of us have a huge amount of admiration and respect for him.. no flatteries.. not at this stage I believe… and knowin him, it was no surprise tat he was down and out… he gave us d best words possible and it was a gr8 comfort when ur boss says tat ur work is xcellent.. he never ever says things just for comfort… and tat compliement from d boss always helps in d sense atleast tat ur work is appreciated and it was a confident booster in d sense tat u can learn new things and shine in it.. then v thanked him for taking us into BPM CoE… Believe me if its not for ashish, v would have never bcome d members of this beautiful family. and sharu won… she went 1st!!!! anyways I followed within 10 min.. there s no big difference…this I need to explain in very detail.. not many gets an experience in this regards… a senior escorting a junior.. heard of it.. ya if tat happens then prob it s lay off I believe..it was a chain. From one person to another d escort changed… and then I was told to sit…I don’t know her name but believe me tat wat she s doing is d last thing she wanna do it in her life.. her face showed it all!!! She asked me wat I learnt… I said wat ever tat came to my mind and btw my fluency was good considering wat I am goin through.. then I was asked to go inside a room.. I went inside wid a smile,, after all u cant cry over there.. inside there were 2 ppl. One d person who recruited me and gave me d offer letter during my final year at coll.. d other was a DH.. very senior person. They were sayin how difficult it s for them nu.. ya I can understand tat!!and without knowing how, I spoke as if nothing has happened and more importantly with lots of positive attitude.. may b God has done tat.. bcoz believe me I was cryin very very badly inside!!!! Then wid a pat on my back from the senior person I was escorted into another room!!! There were HR ppl there!!! And I don’t know I am sayin this… they asked me to right my resignation letter!!!! For me it was as if I was asked to perform d ancient ritual sati!!!! This job s something tat I cherished,,, I luved d challenges and d environment as such… but no other go.. I wrote and signed it!!!!then they gave a hefty compensation(Considering d Company’s financial crisis).. ya I took it.. after all its money alright!!!!and finally handed over my access and ID card… its painful when something u feel proud abt is taken from u forcefully… Then I went back to say goodbye to ashish!!!! Believe me one moment I will cherish 4ever s awaiting me. I went inside his room and told him “Ashish everything s over!!! Deal and Done”.. He got up from his seat and hugged me!!! Oops.. he never saw d tears in my eyes I hope… then d final mournin!!! Escorted back to my floor!!! Thanked my tech lead pradeep!!! He has been a gr8 mentor to me… and ananth.. his eyes were full of tears and I just said bye.. one more min there I would have broken down there once and for all!!!went to everyone’s place and one final adieu to them.. d escort was still waiting… took my bag went to ground floor where other were waiting!!!! Then a top level person came and spoke to us…. Ya we know tat all r feelin bad but d reality s they have a job and v don’t!!! there ended my short(yes) but sweetest and happiest tenure at AIGSS.. yes I am laid off… but still I will say I worked for of d best employers and d best of best ppl inside it.. when d company s gonna b taken over completely, there s very few tat our company can do!!! All along I never said abt a person who was feelin as bad as we were!! Believe it was my PM Nagi!!! Ever since he came to office on tat day, from his face I can say like everyone else he s going through hell as well… a person with such vast xperience s feelin like tat s not something u see often!!! On my final day it was only 3 hrs in d office… Ramas, suresh and both rajesh were there to bid adieu… I have never seen ramas tat subdued from d 1st day I met him.. suresh was a huge comfort on tat day!!! Full 3 hrs there were words of comfort were coming from him…all my family members were devasted tat day!!! It s true and genuine!!!! now u should have an idea abt d ppl I worked under!!!! Ya 4 sure I will get a job else where, each of us will… God will never leave us like this!!!! But 1 thing 4 sure.. d company tat s takin over s gonna miss d best of talents tat my company(Even though it doesn’t exist this moment) had hand picked….(To B Continued)
