See you later …

Watching at the rain outside the window I was thinking, “Normally at this time I would have been looking forward for my 6 O’clk snacks break. But today is different I am at home. No no I am not sick and no I am not on leave or something, this Friday is different. Today is different. So this is how it feels ha !... I got up early today yeah at 7:30 am (this had been “Early“since few months) may be it was the restlessness about the last working day at HAIL. Since morning only I had started listing the incidents the memories to keep in that secret closet of my heart. Last time bothering about getting up early for job in HAIL, Last time getting ready for it, Last time swiping in the access card at the gate, Last time having breakfast at HAIL, Last time switching on my office desktop just to shut down from my login for the last time. I checked out the mails from my inbox. They were still same nothing has changed. I read the Daily Dose ( it consists of Daily Dose of Calvin n hobbes, Garfield and a PJ) forwarded it to my Daily Dose list. I had already forwarded the Good bye mail from my personal mail-Id to office mail Id, so I just had to add people to the BCC list”.
“Hmm …who else who else aha yes, hmm him yep, ohh yes how can I forget her , Ok… this went on for about 15 -20 mins. After I was done I still saved the mail for some more time I did not wanted to send it so soon. I had already started bidding adieu people from last week. Some of them were gonna be on site when it would be my Last day at HAIL. One part of my heart was still betraying please stay back it’s nice to be here; it’s nice not to worry about new challenges, please stay. But I had decided and I couldn’t go back now, it was too late. With that thought I finally sent the Good bye mail to my fellow colleagues. Met some more of acquaintances and exchanged the contacts numbers. I submitted my office computer to the concerned department. Last time went for lunch with M and her friends, normally we used to sit in the small lawn at the backside of my office building till 2 O’clk but today I couldn’t, so I hurried to my cubicle. One of the juniors was continuously giving me smiles since morning. She had been keeping track of my last day counter. Check out my inbox it was flooded with best wishes from my well wishers. It felt good  “.
By this time I had finished almost all my formalities and last but not least, main thing was remaining that was to collect the relieving letter and experience letter. So far so good I got the letter in less than 2 minutes. Huh I was ready to fly away from here. Again the betraying heart “No wait .. return it . You can still return it. Ohh shut up !!! this is it I am done!”
I met some more friends and co workers. Then to my surprise I was called in canteen by my GET friends, who had gota cake for my farewell. Coincidently one of the other GET was also having his last day, both of us cut the cake, photographs were taken again I said good bye to each one of them. Saying good bye to all my dear friends I went back to my desk. I switched off the machine finally and I packed up my backpack;
I looked back again to everything, I looked at everyone captured the image just to see it again whenever I remember them. Swiped out the access card.
And now here I am standing at my window my last day at HAIL is over. Only the memories are left behind.
Hmm … lets get back to sleep… aaj to kuch tension nahi hai …
