GAIL - Parting letter

First Job, Getting married, Buying first car and Becoming father ... these are certainly some of the most joyous moments in anybody's life. In my case, I shared all these happy moments with my colleagues from GAIL. These wonderful friend of mine certainly deserved a better parting letter from my side but I could manage only what follows in the next paragraph. I believe to some extent it does reflect the true place for GAILians in my heart.

====================================

"It feels as if it was only yesterday when on the fateful day of Monday the 1st of July 2002, I’d joined GAIL (I) Ltd at Noida as GET(E&C). Five years latter, I believe that my association with GAIL has channeled the exuberance and enthusiasm of a young & fresh out of college student to somewhat responsible professional which I think I’m today.

In the hindsight, when I reflect upon the time that I’ve spent in GAIL, I find that there are mostly happy memories. I consider myself fortunate that I always got supportive bosses who encouraged learning and gave freedom to experiment and grow. I got wonderful friends like you.

However, I also believe in a line from movie Black, “Life is like an Ice-cream, enjoy it before it melts” and that there is life beyond what I’m doing here in GAIL.
With this in mind, now after spending exactly five years in this wonderful organization, I’ve decided to take a break from 09:15 a.m. to 05:45 p.m. work life and become a student again. For the next 16 months, I shall be challenging myself with new goal of sailing through the academic rigors of 16 months full time MBA degree from ASIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, MANILA.

Working in GAIL, and having the opportunity to meet you is an experience, I’ll cherish throughout my life.

Again, with all these technical advancements, this world is becoming smaller with each passing day, which forces me to believe that “Kahin kisi roz, kisi na kisi mod pe, ham fir milenge jaroor”.

Till then, adios."
