My "adieu" mail while leaving my job at "CSC" ( Dec 2006)

Today, I was digging through my e-mails to find the e-mail id of a friend back in India and I chanced upon this piece of writing I had penned down as "goodbye" e-mail to my friends while leaving my job (CSC) for MS at A&M.

//reproduced without any modification//
// I had to send this e-mail from my gmail account. Reason: I had gotten so late at my office ( past 12 am) doing last minute things on my last day that by the time I got back to writing the adieu e-mail, I had already got my employee account revoked ( past 12 AM).:( talk about perfection!!

Adios - Time to say 'Will Miss U'!


"My wrist watch stopped ticking at sharp 10:59 PM 22nd Dec,2006 and I never knew why and how? But it only meant when 22nd Dec was preparing to pass the baton to 23rd Dec, my watch chose to play game with me by being stuck at 10:59 PM , 22nd Dec.I misjudged my transition from being an employee of CSC to a visitor of CSC and the price I have to pay is very obvious to you - mail not from Manish Kumar Singh/FSG/CSC !!

It's been a great experience working at CSC for the last 2.5 years. More so as the road traveled wasn't level and straight. But I surely enjoyed the roller coaster ride and it was fun-filled and enriching.

Shall never forget the fresher training days with all my great buddies, Days of leisure and slogging at work, Canteen gossips , Soccer Fridays and every thing else that touched me. Moments spent with my team mates working as well as partying are unforgettable. My team mates rocked!

Life is a journey to explore the unexplored with convenient halts. With this zeal and having explored what CSC had in store for me, I move ahead chasing the bigger and taller dreams. Seeds were already sown in my Undergrad years and I could watch them sprouting during my stay at CSC.I have decided to pursue Masters in Wireless Communication at Texas A&M University, College Station in TX,US.I am excited about the impending student life but will always be reminded of how it is at Work Place.

I am grateful to all of you who bumped into me and accepted me as your friend. Friends once made are always missed in their absence and so shall I. Thanks a ton for all your love, care, consolations and encouragements!

I remember one of my college friends writing in my Slam Book, "To meet and depart is the way of life but to depart and meet is the hope of life. We meet to create memories. But we depart to preserve them and that is Life..". And so I say to all of you.

With this note, I wish you all the best in all your endeavors in your personal and professional lives. Do keep in touch.

Wish U all a Merry Xmas and a great New Year ahead!!

Ta-Ta. Will Miss U! "
