Reunions are a good thing…they take you back across the lanes of old golden days…
It was around 2 weeks ago, that I happened to meet a guy from my first company. While we were talking about the old stuff, he told me that they were planning for a reunion of folks who are in NCR these days. Surely, it was a nice idea…chance to meet all the old guys. So it was finalized and and the date was fixed…6th of Feb…
…so guys (with few exceptions…) were there at the venue. I, one of my friend and his wife were the last people to reach, though 😉 . There is kind of different feeling in going late, you know 😛 . When we reached almost everyone has already started with their drinks and snacks . So after saying Hello to everyone, we also joined the gang. The main difference one could notice was that everybody came with his/her better 1/2 😉 and kids…so it was kind of different scene from those old days when not everyone was marred…oops married 😉 . Everyone was recalling those old times; those nights spent in office, the morning breakfasts, few blunders when hopes of survival jumped between earth and sky, that “what the heck you have done” things from their bosses etc…
It was all fun. Your first job is like the first love, it is hard to forget 😉 and for most of the people present there it was their first job. They started their career from there, learned the corporate stuff, grew up as professionals and so on…After some time started the round of introductions (as there were few new faces…mostly in the form of better halves 😛 ). It was suggested that everyone would introduce the one sitting adjacent to him. It was fun time knowing everyone’s specialties in personal and professions lives. People present there, as per the introductions given were loving, caring, sweet, responsible, hard working, dedicated, straight forward, with good sense of humour, desi, [stuff not told in public starts] good cooks, good husbands, good workers at home etc etc [stuff not told in public ends]…hey obviously all these qualities are from no single individual 😉 . It is all mixed stuff 😀 . While introductions were going on…my ex-boss, who is a really good singer was requested to sing a song and he sang Jagjit Singh’s apni marzi se kahan…
Then one more guy was introduced as a good singer and he made everyone hum to the tunes of
So after all the introductions and fun it was time to have lunch. Again folks who came with their kids, took their turns to hold kids and hold a plate and vice-versa. One thing was so much clear that taking care of kids is probably harder than working in IT 😉 . Then it was mobile no exchange time before leaving. Everyone enjoyed the meet and said that we should meet more often and such meets should continue. It was like living that life again…Finally after having 3-4 hours of good fun we said goodbye to each other and left to live in our present !
It was memorable…we were re-unioned !
