Odds-on Terminus?

The good times at Panipat...
Ever wake-up in the morning and get that weird sensation? All the flurries subsided; I guess our innermost thoughts get a chance to float to the surface... Even stranger is the fact that our latest memories seem to take a backseat as we are flooded with obscure flashbacks we never realized we still possessed! Past antics and trivial barbs seem to take on a life of their own giving you an occasional smile or an odd frown. We might blissfully live parallel lives with our past chums and aspersers, not vexed in the least by their presence sometimes at our very doorstep!

But at the end of the day, I guess it is all part and parcel of settling down at a new place. It has been nearly a month since most of my colleagues and I left Bongaigaon and the allures of the North-East, to report to our respective postings, mine being at Panipat. The ride continues, though just a little differently! But this time it might be for the long haul... Whatever the case may be, I guess it is all about finding and fulfilling a sense of purpose by bringing our various aspirations to fruition.

As for me, whether it is something professional like suggesting some updates to the softwares being used or watching some important official documents getting published in my name, or something personal like gifting a ring to my granny, I think I've started driving down the right path. No matter what the field, I believe each one of us can play a contributory role in our own capacity, leaving a permanent imprint on the business in the long run.

On the fun side, I'm glad that seven of us have been posted together at Panipat which makes the weekends all the more convivial. Shopping, movies and most importantly getting a chance to welcome the new year together was marvellous! I hope this adventure continues in the right spirit, the only question being is this the odds-on terminus or are greener pastures just waiting to be probed? Let's find out!
Welcome 2016!
