Bid Adieu

Finally the day have arrived, when I am writing "My Last Day @K" . Its a mix feeling, not overly happy, not very sad. I am happy because i am going into a new world, new culture, new opportunities. Sad, because leaving behind a part of life, which i enjoyed most of the time. But as 'They' says Keep moving on, so here I am moving on.

Most of you may know the reason or at least some of you still curious to know. but I want to make it clear, my decision is not influence by any frustration or any kind of problem within organisation. Its a pure professional decision driven by urge to grow in industry and to be with my family. These are the driving factor for me to think seriously about change.

Its almost 7 year of my life i spent here and most of my experience is very good. There were ups and downs. yes there were some moment when i felt that things are not going in my way, people were trying to control unnecessary, but that was just a phase and it passed with time. I earn respect (hopefully) because of my work, at least among my colleagues which includes team in Norway. I treated everyone as equal. I hope nobody hurt.

Contrary to popular belief , I have good equation with my dept. manager. Infect i will say i am lucky to work with good managers throughout my career, be it Kongsberg or my previous organisation Satyam. He never interfere with my work, gave me full freedom about my work and my way of working. Some may have different opinion about some of his decisions and behaviour, but i have very positive experience. He supports me all the time, specially when i was struggling with my health and other family issue.

I have got some wonderful friend for life. these guys are amazing, support each other, argue with each other, agree to disagree, have different opinions, still stay together. everyone supported me whenever i was down and feeling negative. We enjoyed together, we fight together, we partied together, we celebrated together. you guys are the most amazing part of my journey in Kongsberg. There are lot of memories, one of them is that day (infect it was night) when we enjoyed whole night drinking and playing games (Krags gate 14, Kongsberg), without sleeping for a minute and as soon as night ended, we went to woods and ski centre and had fun their, it was one of day of my life when i enjoyed without thinking about anything else. Yet I have some bitter memories about some friends (I was under impression that they are my friends), I never imagined that reminding someone about his own word can cost me big time. but never mind, that incident once again remind me that i have weakness of believing people blindly.

During my journey in Kongsberg, i got chance to see this beautiful country Norway and i fall in love it. Some day surely i will take my family (specially my son, as he love my pics in snow clad surrounding) to Norway and show them the beautiful nature. I am lucky that i got chance to work with people of Norway. As per my experience Norwegian people are very intelligent and hard working. when they work, they completely involve in work, when they party, they party hard. I like easy going nature of Norwegians. Though it was very difficult for me initially, but i enjoyed skiing. not sure when will i get another chance for skiing, but its very very adventures and fun for me. (Some of my pic can prove that). I am really short of words to praise you people, i appreciate your encouragement and support towards me.

Overall my journey with Kongsberg was very good and fruitful. I got opportunity to learn technical stuff , got opportunity to meet, work and co-ordinate with different people at different geological location. I got opportunity to visit Scandinavian countries and their natural beauty. I can say it was a very good time of my career and life. Though its a turbulent time for organisation due to current market situation, but i am confident that Kongsberg will absorb this and will bounce back in no time.
As the feeling of leaving Kongsberg started to sink in, i am feeling nervous, same as i was feeling the day of my joining. It will take some time to settle the nerves. I am taking it as a new beginning and a new chapter in my life. This world is very small, so may be one day we'll cross paths again, until then i can only wish all of you for happiness, growth and success.

I will cherish memories of Kongsberg for rest of my life.

All The Best.


P.S.  Selv om jeg har jobbet med ganske mange mennesker i løpet av min reise med Kongsberg, men en person som skiller seg ut blant de andre er "Thomas Fossen Halleland".
Thomas, jeg ville bare si en stor takk for all hjelp, støtte, oppmuntring og omsorg, særlig under mitt Norge besøk. Du er en fantastisk person å jobbe med. Jeg hadde veldig veldig god tid på å jobbe med deg. Profesjonelt, du er en stor ressurs for organisasjonen. Personlig, du er veldig vennlig, snill og en fantastisk vert. Jeg ønsker deg suksess og lykke i livet ditt. Håper å se deg igjen, og når det skjer, jeg lover å ikke gi deg tøff tid med min ski dyktighet.

My Diary - 01

मानसिक आज़ादी , यही सच्ची आज़ादी है। जिसका मन आज़ाद नहीं वह मनुष्य होकर भी गुलाम है। जिसका मन आज़ाद नहीं, वह मनुष्य जीवित होकर भी मृत व्यक्ति के समान है। मन की आज़ादी सजीवता का लक्षण है। जो मनुष्य अपनी बुद्धि जागृत रखते हुए , अपने  तथा अपने कर्त्तव्य , इन दोनों के प्रति सजग रहता है, उसे मैं आज़ाद मानता हूँ । जो परिस्थिति को अपने नियंत्रण में रखने के लिए तैयार रहता है , मैं उसे आज़ाद मानता हूँ । जिसके विचारो की ज्योति बुझती नहीं , जो दूसरों पर निर्भर नहीं , जो प्रतिकूल जनमत से घबराता नहीं , जो दूसरों के हाथो का खिलौना न बन सके , इतनी बुद्धि तथा स्वाभिमान जिसके पास है , वही मनुष्य आज़ाद है, मैं ऐसा मानता हूँ।

Kuch Mere Dil Se....

yun to hai bahut kuch tujhe batane ko,

par, kabhi-2 lagta hai, ki kahi tu

sunkar usse naraz na ho jaaye,

darr teri narazgi ka nahi..

darr is baat ka hai ki ..

kahi tu mujhse door na ho jaaye...

khoya-paya bahut kuch hai maine..

is chhoti si zindagi me...

magar tujhko khone ka sahas nahi hai mujh me....

Zindagi chalti rahti hai..humesha ki tarah..

milte hain bahut se humsafar,

mil kar bichad jate hain...is raah me..

magar tujh sa humsafar..

na kabhi mila tha...na shayad milega..

Kabhi is dil ki gahraiyo me utarkar dekhna,

Tere siwa shayad ki kisi aur ka naam mile...

yun to hai bahut kuch, tujhe batane ko...

bas darta hu..ki tujhe kahi kho na du....

वो मिलते हैं ऐसे

वो मिलते हैं ऐसे कि मिलके भी नहीं मिलते
वो फूल हैं ऐसे कि खिलके भी नहीं खिलते

हम कहते हैं उनसे पहलू में मेरे आओ
उनके तो कदमों के निशां, दिखके भी नहीं दिखते

हम कहते हैं उनसे बादल की तरह बरसो
वो बूंद हो स्वाति की, झरके भी नहीं झरते

हम कहते हैं उनसे सूरज की तरह चमको
वो हैं कि दीपक की तरह्, जलके भी नहीं जलते

हम कहते हैं उनसे कभी झोंके की तरह आओ
वो हैं कि पत्तों की तरह, हिलके भी नहीं हिलते

वो मिलते हैं ऐसे कि मिलके भी नहीं मिलते
वो फूल हैं ऐसे कि खिलके भी नहीं खिलते ।।
