Friday was my last working day at Exaband. For those of you who know me, you also know how much I cribbed about having to work there. Yet, when I finally had my papers in hand, I couldnt bring myself to leave. Exaband was my first job and I met a lot of people whom I know I will stay in touch with for the rest of my life. I spent only 2 years there and yet, I felt more sad at leaving that place than I did when I was leaving college. I wandered the office for a little over an hour remembering incidents at each floor. I was periliously close to tears. Nowhere have I ever received the warmth and love as I did at Exaband. The people there genuinely cared about me, the knew I lived alone so if I didnt turn up for work without prior intimation, they'd call me up to check what was happening. They put up with me during my mood swings,brought me sweets during their festivals, encouraged and helped me improve my Telugu and were genuinely happy for me when I told them I was leaving to start-up a company.
In many ways, this post is tribute, a Thank You to EXABAND. Words cannot describe how much I love you or how much I am going to miss you.
