Time just moves on...

While cleaning up my harddisk, came across this old blog of mine. Felt a bit nostalgic and hence thought of publishing it here. It was written during the new year of 2005.

The days to come, are just dreams,
Only the days that passed, are our own !!

31st DEC 2003- A year ago

I was sitting inside NBAP lab, coding the RadioLinkSetupRequest procedure. I pressed ":wq" on my vim editor, gave a make at the prompt and just turned around! I can see Rajeev and Nayaka through the glassy barrier, in the next lab, vigourously discussing something. In between, Susama intervening, arguing and then turning back at the computer, continuing her documentation. I can see Aakash, running around with a piece of wire, behind dhadha, searching for something. Ratan, opened the door of our lab, and seems, he has some new doubt in the dsp code !! Nileena is sitting in the diagonal lab, infront of a big monitor, moving her eyes from one end of the monitor to the other end !! And if I see strictly through the glassy barrier, I can see a bald head, over the computers at quite a distance, which belongs to none other than our cats and dogs man !! It was quite a bit difficult to look at Rajesh, since his head was behind a PC, which always showed beautiful photos of all tamil heroines !! That PC belonged to Sheik and on the other side, there sat our roaring tiger, Mahesh, who seemed always busy at finding new things ! Hey, Anil is coming, with his big muscles ! But his face reflected sadness ! He came and told, "I had a fight with my Gym instructer and he threw me on the floor" ! How saad !

31st DEC 2004 - Today

I am sitting inside my cubicle, coding the GPS synchronization procedure. I cannot press ":wq" since everything is checked in and am leaving Motorola next week. Rajeev is not sitting in the next lab. He is in Philips and discussing with somebody else. Its not Nayaka, since Nayaka is in cdot. Susama, is no more doing any documentation. She is in Samsung and doing log analysis of a compltely working 3G system. And
where is Aakash ? I cant even see him, since he has moved to Noida, and is totally out of his dream 3G project. He is close to his home and his engagement is over ! Now-a-days, Ratan is not seen around ? Oh ! he too is in Noida, and is weeping on the failure of his project. Now he doesn't come to me for coding doubts. Nileena, has moved from the old second floor location, but still doing the same work. She has completed the
design of a card, which she had started last year and is testing it. And even if I try from here, I cant see that bald head over there. The cats and dogs man has moved from there to somewhere else. It seems, the entire
company is getting moved from the current location. Now, that pc with the photos of all those nice looking thalli girls, is no more there. The person owning that pc, has moved to Lucent. What about the person who sat opposite to him ? Oh Mahesh, he is in sasken now. Again in the second floor, but keeping up the same habit. And where is Anil ? Oh, his marriage is over naa... he is honeymooning ...

I never imagined, a year can bring such a great change.
But there is more to Come ... Lets Welcome the new year 2005 ! !
