A new life...

Finally the day has come when I bid adieu to ADIC. Today being my last day at work here in ADIC, I feel nostalgic thinking about all the up's and down's I've had in the past 3 years. However, I believe its time for me to move on. I want to take back with me lots of good memories from this place and hope that I am able to overcome the not so good one's I've had here. Good or Bad, ADIC has taught me a lot both in professional and personal terms and I am happy that I am not leaving Abu Dhabi out of sheer disgust. Infact, at the bottom of my heart I sincerely believe that my role for this short stage of my life is over and I am quite content to have played this role well (life is indeed a story of short stages with different roles to perfom).

There have been loads of positives to look back on during these 3 years - strong bonding with my SP Jain colleagues who came to Abu Dhabi with me right after our MBA, interactions with some very good set of ADIC colleagues, a few good friends I have made here, diverse learning experience working as an Analyst and most importantly learning that human spirit is above all religion. I have become more tolerant to ideas, cultures and opinions. I wish I can carry all of these back to India with me.

For Mumbai - I am more than happy to go back. I have been away for 4 years in all and certainly feel a need to reconnect with all lost threads back there. Life ain't gonna be that easy back in Mumbai, however my time has come to take up that challenge one more time. 2nd June is when I fly back and I am already overwhelmed by the feeling of being back home. I must say one thing I have terribly missed in all these years is good "home made food".

Its time to start packing some good memories for now :-)

I want to thank all my Abu Dhabi S.P. Jain colleagues for making Abu Dhabi a great living experience. Trust me, without you guys this place would have been really boring! Lastly there is an endless list of people I need to thank - right from various cook's to the dedicated taxi drivers who have made there own significant contributions in my journey here in AD. May god give you guys all you want and deserve in life ...
