Memorable moments with my friends in Ness ...

Its been just over an year since I have joined Ness, and have been working here. And life here has been good. Lots of friends since we had a training session and over 30 freshers from all over the country ... We got along great ... had a lot of fun and memorable times as we went through the transition of being a college student to a professional engineer ... well I have to say we still haven't completely grown up ...

We had loads of fun, in the Ness Family Day celebrations, on our trip to Wonder La, Our stay at the Shelter Inn during our training period, Our B'day celebrations, Lunches outside, Night strolls in search of sweets to eat, Just being crazy in the hotel and jazzing things up, a lot of fun ...

But then we moved on to different projects and some gone away to Mumbai, the rest in Bangalore, where we do take our responsibilities seriously and do our work better everyday, we still have keep our sense of fun, which I think is a good thing as it would be a good thing to liven up our workplace ...

The friendship that we made during our training is a great boon ... since once in a while we plan an outing for enjoyment and a group of people who still feel like just out of college is a lot of fun ... and as we (me and my roommate) was wallowing in memories we made this collage for the good times we had, with our friends ... so that we will remember the good times, and hopefully get inspired for more such fun filled get-togethers which will continue to make our moments ...

WE MEET TO PART AND WE PART TO MEET

Sometimes I think about how I used to spend hours on end talking to a friend, who seems miles away now, since we parted from school or college. And still one day when we meet again its like we have always been together (at least that's how I feel most often, though its possible that's not how everybody feels ...) and we chat away like always ...

So we do meet one day, become good friends, only to part another day when we choose different paths that will take us in separate directions. But quite often our paths meet again or we make the paths meet, if just for a while, so we could get to know how things are with our loved ones.

Long ago, when there were no cell phones, emails or maybe even land phones ... people had to leave up to chance the possibility of meeting a friend once they go off in their own separate ways ... But now it is easier to find a friend, meet up and generally know how a friend is doing even if we are miles away on totally different paths that we chose to follow ...

So I often make it a point to contact people who mean so much to me, at least sometime when I find the time and space ... so that I could know what their life has brought them and how they are faring in their chosen paths. It might be a month or even a year since I last heard from them but that doesn't stop me from crossing their path when I feel the urge to.

I often wonder why people hesitate to call their friends, just because its been too long since they called them last, or maybe by petty thoughts such as "couldn't they also make an effort to call back?" ... because it always comes to the question - does that matter? As long as you love that friend and feel like speaking to him/her, what does it matter when you last spoke, or who initiated the contact?

So I still float in and out of my friend's lives at my whim, and always welcome them to float in when they feel like taking a glimpse at mine ...
