Bidding Adieu

Since coming into the IT industry, i have found this ritual interesting that one follows while leaving a company. It is of writing a farewell mail to the colleagues/team that a person worked in, on leaving the company. While reading these mails, all i can think of is what exactly this person was trying to say in this mail. What was his hidden message in this. So thought of sharing with you my views on this. Obviously this would not be correct in all cases. But will be true in other cases. So below is the letter:-

Note:- Whatever is written in brackets is the implied meaning by the writer of mail.

Hi friends,
(Hey dumbos, you all still in this company)

Today is my last day at this company.
(Atlast i am free. yes yes yes!!! main is jail se chut raha hoon. thank you upar waale :-))

I cant believe how fast these last 2 and half years passed by. Still looks as if it was yesterday when i joined this company.
(Only i know how i spent these 2 and half years. Went at snail's speed. Har lamha tadpa hoon main yahan. I really wish it had been yesterday. Next day i wud not have come)

Must say it was an amazing experience here. Got to learn a lot from everybody.
(khak amazing. It was only an experience that once states while talking about bad things that happens to one's life. socha tha Developer banunga. saala support me daal ke call centre executive bana diya. :-(

And wat learning did i got. The only thing i learned was to bitch about everyone right from the boss to the colleague, even bitch about those with whom we bitch about others. An endless cycle of bitching. Aur malum hai maine kya learn kiya. How to eat the worst food ever made. The food that even defeats the food made in jails. Yes the food of our esteemed canteen. The food in which i got to meet all those little organisms whom i had only seen before in Discovery channel. Thanks to canteen i met them in person.)

Everybody here was so encouraging and supporting that work was a fun process.
(Fun process aisa hai ki log fun karne me itna busy hote hai ki koi kabhi apne cubicle me mila hi nahi. Wat wud i learn. The only encouragement and support that i got was to play TT in my recreation room as my leads were always found in that room. Got to say have become a better TT player now than i was before.:-))

Now that its over, all i want to say is thank you to you all for your support to me.
(Here i really mean thank you as you people r still staying here due to which i grabbed the chance of moving to other company and also getting higher package...ha ha ha)

I cant believe that i am leaving the first company i joined.
(Really cant believe how i got out of this cell. The place which is on par with a government office. i stll pinch myself whether i m really leaving. After watching inception, for once i had a doubt, whether this is not a ploy by my lead, planting an inception on me.)

Leaving this company doesnt mean that we wont stay in touch. You can contact me at xyz@gmail.com
(Khabardar jo kisi ne mainu contact karne ki koshish ki. main aur torture bardaasht nahi kar sakta. Even if u try to mail, doesnt affect me as this is a fake mail id of mine. ha ha ha. boss m a genius... :D)

Also you can call me at 9219324323.(pls read the above lines if u still believe i m giving u a real number.)

Finally thank you again. Will miss you all.
(In short, the only motive of this letter was ki tum sab jalo. :D ha ha ha. Meri nayian toh par lag gai ab tum par laga sako toh laga lo. Miss you??? Y the hell should i miss you. Though must say i will miss the circus that you all have created here)

Yours Truly,(Tumhara dushman ab jo tumse jyaada package lene wala hai. ha ha ha)
xyz.

P.S.- Next blog is on Christopher Nolan. The genius to whom we fans owe a lot.
