Gonna Miss the Good Time We Spent with Each Other - "hasta luego"


Hello all,

All right guys, so here I am known for writing long emails and this time as well, will try to come-up to your expectations.

.. I just can't truly understand why I am drafting this email; but one thing is for sure true that I am gonna miss the quality time spent with you all. I had never planned to write this parting note and wanted to be a little different from mass-public and go the news-article way. But, later something dragged me and pushed me to start typing these words straight from the bottom of my heart. While I sit to draft this mail, I am totally blanked out as what to pen down..

Though with most of you, there had always been a gap or distance in the communication we had in the past but I have realized the charisma of your presence whenever you all used to be around. I am a little nervous and a little confused about this email and little worried while thinking about the repercussion of leaving you all here. Not very sure how the next phase of my life will teat me .

In general, I pretend to be very pragmatic and practical individual but in true sense I am an emotional stupid LL....!! I am still not able to think about what there beyond this team, this place, we FRENZ...!!

Anyways. 'CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING" and hence I have to leave. After around two and a half years of exciting and memorable stint with Evalueserve, I am bidding adieu next week to this company to pursue other career opportunities. As I move on, I would like to take a moment to remember and cherish our times together. With many of you, I have shared a unique camaraderie which I hope will continue in the years to come even though I shall not be here with the company. Even though I will miss you all here, I am looking forward to this new position that brings forth new challenges and adds more diverse experience to my career.

Furthermore, let me grab the opportunity to thank you all for being a great team to work with all these years. It has been an amazing working with you all these years and I will miss your enthusiasm, perseverance, and the 'never say die' spirit and of course the talent that you brought to our group. I thank you for all your support throughout and hope you continue to extend your cooperation to the current leadership teams and the succeeding manager. I wish you all, my fellow partners and everyone in the larger EVS family, all the very best.

Arre thik-thik hai, don't worry there is something more in the basket for each one of you. Read it through and feel the connection J

Ankur - Ankur baba.. hmmm.. 'Mr.ATTITUDE', dost you have all the right ingredients to reach corporate heights in your career. You have always been very nice and supporting with me and would suggest remaining the same as you are now. One more thing was peculiar about you was your unique way of embellishing things/comments about me. In general, I never appreciated or was able to digest them all. But at heart, I think you are a nice person. Please work little around finding a difference between 'Assertiveness' and 'Arrogance' and striking a balance there.

Deepali aka 'Deepu' - Deepu dear.. you are such a darling and has always been nice to me. I am still carrying some faded memories of the first project we did together for the pharma client (*client confidentiality J ). The time we spent fire-fighting on the project, resolving issue between Aman and Bidisha (jus one instance) and than later discuss tensions and pressure situations about our respective projects >>> liaison with Priya, Anubhav, Ravi and Pratyush about your transition to the new team etc etc etc. One things Deepu, try to be a little more aggressive in your career and create your own space in the team.

Davide - 'The funny Bone'; At time I used to call you 'Italian Sardar' (Please take this in right spirit, this is not to offend any person, individual or group). You have you unique ways to bugging everyone and anyone in the team or outside the team. But one thing I really admire about you is you enormous patience and perseverance blended with you enthusiasm to crack any deal. Davide, please try to be a little concise and crisp in your communication. please Davide for heaven sake. JJJ

Sharad - "Babu ji dheere chalna .... mein zara sambhalna" I remember the first interaction we had in the meeting room where you expressed your ambition and motivation in life. I was really impressed and had a feeling that you are quite like me or probably better than me. One problem I had was that I wasn't that great in keep the connection intact with my bosses; but presumably you have those skills as well. Typical Scorpion hmm..!! J Anyways, it was really pleasant working with you. Please say 'HI' to your fiancée 'Saloni Dubey' he he he he JJJ

Mitul - Mummma... bhookha lagi... aaj fruits nahi laaye ho kya... Madame, you are really sweet and prafull ji is really lucky ;) J.. waise u r the real power-puff girl of business team.. sabhi darte hain. raat mn jab govind ji ka 'Sid' roota hai hai wo yehi bolte hain ki "so jab ache nahi to Mitul Aunty aa jayengi"...!!! Waise, aap bhi kaam mn jab leeen ho jate ho to.. sab kuch bhool jaate ho.. arre chodo ye sab moh-maya.. Goa jao n life ko enjoy karo... to Scorpio/Pajero etc etc kab le rahe ho.. kabhi humein bhi ghuma dena.. plz plz...!!! Aapki shaadi mn koshish to zarur karunga. abhi account mn sirf 3.5K pade hain aur meri salary bhi nahi aayegi, agar paison ka jugad ho gaya to zarur aa jaonga aapki shadi mn.. Yaphir air-ticket bhej dijiye and I will definitely be there. JJJ

Aadi - Definitely designed by god in 'fursat'; never has chance to interact with any such personality who is really beautiful at his heart, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone and everyone, self motivated individual who takes up responsibility and always to tries to do justice with it. I remember the first time when I interacted with this guy while I was in London. Bhaker times had introduced me with this charismatic person called 'Chotu'. I had no clues that this guy is going to take such an important place in my life..!!! I love you dost and will always remember all the small and big favors you have done for me....... (hey guys..please .. No DOSTANA.. . hmmm...!!!) Please stay in touch.

Das Babu - Babu Moshay hmm.. ki holo.??? Ami ektu ektu Bangla bolte padi.. he heJJ. Das babu is really a nice person at his heart and is always ready to help others. Thoda sentimental hain Das babu.. Hamesha khafa ho jate hain if we don't call him for lunch or any party. But you realize a fact that, sometimes the gathering is restricted to a particular group or connection and not public - Not sure if you can try and understand the fact but give it a serious thought. But kuch bhi ho. Das Babu is Das Babu.. No cloning possible .. N ye jaldi maaf bhi kar dete hain humari galtiyan JJJ

DJ - 'The Red Phone Box' - Phone always chalu hmmmm..dost kaam ki jyada tension mat liya kar and take up only that much work which is easily manageable. Sorry and thanks for eating up your lunch one fine day.. jiske liye tune kafi dino tak tana maara tha. L

Govind Ji - Sir jee tension lene ka nahi dene ka... kitna kaam karoge 'Mr. Govind Ji Svrepor' aur Sid Svrepor ke kya haal chaal hain?? Arre aap bindaas kaam karo yahan pe koi tension nahi hai. Sab kuch jaldi hi stabilize ho jayega. Aur I will be jus a call away.!!! Sid ka khayal rakhiyega... JJJ

Bali Boss - Sir jee..aap meri farewell party mn nahi aaye bahut bura laga.... aur plz bachon ko jyada pareshaan mat kijiyega.. ache hain sabhi.. kaam bhi kar hi lete hain poora, phir tension kahe ki hai.

I am really sorry.. agar in due course aapko kuch kahin pe bura laga ho.. But aisa hi hooon. 'Mu-Phat' L Anyways, all the very best for all the future endeavors.

Arghya - 'Argo' dost. Aapka ye naam ka funda mn aaj-tak nahi samajh paya.. I don't know spelling itni different kyun hai?? Boss, I really admire your maturity and sense of humor that is very calculated one. Aur, try to say 'No', you can't do everything and thode se aur smart ho jao. u should know how to market yourself.

Thoda soch liya kar kuch bhi bolne se pehle. arrrre nahi dost itni bhi problem nahi hai, sab ek dam perfect hai, bus thoda soch ke dekhiyo. I remember the day when you came to London and we walked together along with Tau d gr8 on the streets of London at midnight. JJ It was lovely working with you. Evaluations mn thoda aggressive ho jati thi bas.. baki sab thik hai.. he he he ;)

Appu - Mr.KK, dost one of the old timer... thanks a lot dear for your friendship and all the favors. Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai that day when you offered my to drop at Rohini JJ, he he.. arre koi nahi dost.. I do understand. Aur haan bindaas raha kar. kaam ke sath-sath frenz and family bhi important hai.. thoda time humein bhi de diya kar. bahut hi selected parties mn jaate ho aap hmmm... anyways dost.. all the very best for a bright future.

Dost, sach bataon to pehle tu bahut pain marti thi when u were Project Officer.. I jus used to hate you.. but then I realized ki that is required from a PO to keep things moving. Anyways, thanks for being my friend and assisting me whenever required. Sorry dost hum.. wo painting competition mn nahi jeet paaye but.. no probs. better luck next time.. Keep in touch.. aur jyada tension mat le gurgaon mn room ka bhi settle ho jayega sson..

Abhinay - Mr.Purnalay, kitna kaam karte ho yaar.. Pure time busy busy...! Though we haven't interacted a lot but I really admire you for your simplicity. I still remember that offsite when we went to Corbett together along with Sunil babu, Appu etc.

Mohit - Sharma Ji aka 'Taklu#1' jyada pange mat liya kar....! tu bahut seedha saadha bacha hai dost...!! Keep you eyes and ears open... And act accordingly.!!!

Sangeeta aka 'Nautanki' - Arrre ye to sach-much ki nautanki hai... I remember that doctor's comment in GOA ki ye nautanki kar rahi hai. kuch nahi huya hai isko. aaj bhi tera phone number mere cell mn 'Nautanki C' naam se saved hai. To ghar ke sabse bade bache.. I am really impressed by your sense of responsibility for the family. Tussi great ho dear...!! Chahe log kitna bhi tujhe bacha ya chota samajh len.. but you really display you maturity wherever required. Aur haan, when I came back from London, I really wanted to interact with you as you were the most fun loving, tension-free, cool, bubbly girl in the OKC but there was no connection. Finally when we became good friends then u changed quite a bit.. dost can the OKC get the old Sangeeta who used to create a 'very hansi-khushi ka Mahaul' all around similar to our great old frnd.. Bhasker Times. JJ

Ekta Madame - Dost..My dear CMee.. I jus came recollect when we became friends and it's true that we haven't interacted a lot, but I feel a connection between us and think our friendship will remain intact for years to come.

Mannu Bhai - Mannu Bhai ki gaddi chalo pum-pum-pum..!!! Shaadi ke baad change hi gaye ho kafi.. Hmmm... to grover sahib ko nakal karwa rahe te. telecom quiz mn hmm... Pakde gaye na.!!! JJ aur aapki shadi ki party abhi bhi due ti hai,.. Ye snacks party ka trend bahut hi galat shuru huya hai... !! waise kuch bhi ho apko chidane mn bahut maja aata tha.. he he he JJ especially jab aapki nayi-nayi seat change huyi thi, aur jo long back aapne Aadi ko bolte te about trackers and all. aur jab aap-pe khud traker ki jimmedaari aa gayi thi,,, he he he. but kuch bhi I still remember that night after we partyed at staying alive and then Daaru peke aap kuch jyada hi senti ho rahe te.. He heJJ

Kaustav - 'The Man with the Specs stand' - Nice dress-sense and impressive overall personality, bad luck of gals ki u r already married.. Kafi logon ko pasand ho aap boss.. Bach ke rehna. he he. Anyways, though haven't interacted much with you but have always heard positive words about you.



Irfan urf 'Bhai-Jaan'
- The last but not the least bhai-jaan..!! Boss, truly there are things for which I admire you which includes you pragmatism and skills around expectation management both internal and external. I have learned a lot of things from you in the due course of time. Though our personal connection wasn't that great sometime back, but probably that was due to lack of proper communication. It was a great experience working with you where I learnt lots of things especially to face lots of different situations. I remember the first communication we had over phone when I was in London over that email which I had sent you for some issue. At that point in time I was really impressed by your maturity level and way of communicating things to me. Also similar experience I had while discussing the first evaluations. Later I was a little depressed in the last evaluations but no regrets, this is how life goes, one never gets what he plans for or wants in life.

On the lighter side, I really love your Ferrrari 'The Car', jus love driving it, log kitna bhi mazzak uda len but, unless-untill it's running and making us reach the destination it's jus SUPERB. Sir jee, thoda to bachon pe daya kijiye, ache hain saare very dedicated professionals. Shayad a communication gap hai team and aap ke beech, which can be bridged very easily and can have a very positive result.

Doston, will definitely gonna miss the good time we spent with each other! This is not a goodbye, only "hasta luego" or "see you later". Do stay in touch.

All the very best for a bright future and a wonderful life ahead

With fond affection and longing thoughts,

Shireesh J
