Goodbye Buzzworks

Dear Team Loyalty,

Ok This is more diffcult than I had imagined this to be. But what needs to be done must be done and what needs to be said must be said. So yes, I leave Buzzworks today i.e on the 1^st of September, 2007.

I have been here for a little over a year. And each one of you has helped me grow out of my fresh out of college (read silly, childish and self absorbed) mode into a slightly more mature person. Atleast that is what I would like to believe. J

Anyway, I shall always look back at this one year as a brilliant roller coaster ride with all the highs at Buzzworks thanks to all the amazing friends I made here.

Lenny, the spectacular Boss and friend and confidante and guide and local guardian. Hemanth, the laidback (read lazy), calm, strong, supportive, sturdy and ever reliable friend. Sam, the typical comedy king and truly good guy and protector. Naveen, the quiet but ever present support and loyal friend. Anish, the design guru and party animal and Ladies’ man. Roshan and team and their mutual unfailing support to each other. Mohan’s fall in front of the office. Pradeep and his child bearing hips and his pink p****. Poornima and her brilliant resourcefulness. Vighnaraj and his PJs. Sandesh and his weird language. Kiran and his porki dance.

Preeti and her fresher party ramblings and her ‘give me work’ cries. Reynah’s unending talks and her motherly tenderness for Chaitra and Babushka. Babushka’s unique way of calling Reynah which sounded just like Veena to me. Chaitra’s giggles and attitude. The girl has truckloads of it. Me likey!!! Roar! Come to Mumma baby... :)

Romal’s unfailing memory and to die for imitations of all the music that ever played in Doordarshan serials. Thyagraj and his eveteasing. Shivagami and her madness at the Chennai offsite.

I will never forget any of these and so many other beautiful, wonderful, bittersweet incidents, events, words, actions, parties, trips. Etc. I will miss each and every one of you much more than you can imagine.

But if any of you take this as a goodbye I will personally come down and belt you in my typical violent style. Just because I won’t be in Buzzworks don’t assume that I am out of your lives.

Once again guys, thanks so much for everything, for giving me so much, for being so amazing and for being the best company and colleagues I could ever find. I really have only the deepest fondness and respect for you guys. Honestly.

Think of me once in a while and be good. God bless you all.
