From Bhopal to Hyderabad

Four years before, these days i was collecting all the documents relevant to my joining at Satyam Computer Services Limited at Hyderabad on 25 July 2005. I was so happy, i would be flying the first time in my life, on a early morning Indian Airlines flight from Delhi to Hyderabad. I had been to hyderabad a fortnight back to collect my offer letter from the Mayfair Centre and had made friends with the erstwhile dayscholar seniors, Vipin Mishra and Varun Joshi (henceforth addressed as Vipin sir and Varun sir) and the friend indeed Suresh Vishwanath (henceforth Suresh Sir).
After completing the joining formalities, i had my induction at Satyam Technology Centre (STC) and that was the day when the training started formally. During the initial training days i did not have many friends from satyam training but back home i had wonderful time with my friends, we visited Hussain sagar lake, watched movies at Prasadz and had fun filled dinner at Vidhur's mess. In due time, my training finished and we got a 2 week vacation to go home for Diwali, that too paid leaves. That diwali was very special, i was a software engineer with India's 4th largest IT company of those times and people showered their praises on me, called up their relations for a suitable girl for me and the likes, slowly the vacation came to an end and i returned back to Hyderabad. Once back from vacation, i was on bench, virtually a period to enjoy your day to the maximum, not knowing when a call to a project may change your life, reduced to the 4 * 4 periphery of the office cubicle and occasional chat/coffee with colleagues. A week later a bombshell called CHENNAI dropped on me and 8 more training mates and we were instructed to report for a training for 2 weeks and it was assumed that end of those two weeks we have to move to Chennai. Never in my thoughts i had thought of leaving hyderabad and going to some other city. The quintessential charm of the city, my friends at room and the ones i got at Satyam were air and water for me, without them i no longer thought to be alive. Such was our bonding, after having a chat with my room mates i use to take Suresh sir's bike and move to the flats of my friends in the neighbourhood, chat and have fun till 1 or 2 AM and then return back to my flat and sleep like a log, only to wake up after one and all had gone to office. Coming back to the training part, during those 2 weeks i realised that i would spend these 2 weeks in the most beautiful way, partying and enjoying with friends rather then on thinking what would become of me once i move to chennai, with almost all new faces and environment. Luckliy the training went of well and we were told that we will not be going before december end (training was held during the 2nd and 3rd week of November 2005). During those training days, much to our astonishement and happiness, a college senior whom i jelled well with, Lt Prashant Trivedi( henceforth Prashant Sir) got his first posting as hyderabad and the erstwhile establishment quite near to our place. Two incidents during that phase changed our lives, 1st was when one evening Varun sir told he is going to join a company in Mumbai and may move out around the first week of December and another was the arrival of Prashant sir. None of us wanted Varun sir to go, we had so much to celebrate and enjoy, his going created a void in the house, but finally he had to go.
