Happy 2011!!!

i got new clothes, new bag, a new watch, and a new pen that day...
i was excited, heart thumping... nerves raised as i boarded the bus...
faces looking at me...
i was nervous like a li'l doe... feeling so tiny n puny out there!!!
how is it gonna be like?
wud i be accpeted?
how wud they be like?
had these thoughts all through my way...
then i reached the destination... picked my bag... got off the bus...
every step i took was like a ton as i proceeded towards the address that i had handy...
there it was...
big gate... n a long pathway towards my dream... my first love!!
i took a deep breath as i entered the huuugeeee building with a BIG glass door...
high roofed... black granite floor shinning bright...
a line of smooth cut sofas towards my left...
high ornamental plants in crystal clean pots...
big glass window rt there on the opposite wall... letting the bright sun in...
making the place all the more bright, warm n welcoming...
i went to the lady n asked for the name...
here he was... as if he was waiting for me already...
he made me sat in a comfortable room...
we spoke for a while...
n then i signed the papers...
My first joining papers...
Then he stood up... shook hands with me n with a big grin said:
"Welcome Aboard!!!"

8th Jan 2001... a decade ago... this was how my first day started @ Hughes Software Systems...
10 yrs gone since then but that special day is still afresh in my mind and can never fade off...
Time spent there was the best and I would always be bias towards it as that is and would always be my first love...
I have had and seen a lot in past 10 yrs...
These experiences have helped me grow not only as a person but as an individual too...
They all contribted to what I am and what I have grown up to as of today...
This is my l'il way to say thanks to everyone who has been a part of my journey (no matter how short or long duration has had been) throughout and would try n get in touch with them to say thanx...
I learned something or the other from all of you...

Thanx a lot for even reading this and being a part of my journey...

Happy n prosperous 2011 to u all n ur loved ones!!!
