And the life moves on…
March 22nd, 2007
Today, I finally finished all the formalities at Red Hat - deposited the laptop back with IS/IT, handed over the drawer keys to Murty ji, had a long discussion with Satish in the exit interview, burnt a copy of Fedora devel tree & finally bid goodbye to all the RedHatters 
Leaving RH was a bit nostalgic - lots of good memories were associated with that office - our pune-trans team which was more of a family than a team, our no-mercy pool games, those TT matches, those awesome treks (I still remember how Bhalerao & Aalam had held me from falling down a steep slope!) & specially that night trek… I might miss that all!
I still plan to keep up with m17n-db & evolution projects - maybe when the core packages open up to general public with Fedora 7, I might apply for m17n-db’s ownership.
But till then, DBus’s on my mind - on all 360 degrees!
For those who never worked with Red Hat - an excellent company to work with, very laid back & relaxed environment, gives freedom to work on projects which you might like (ofcourse, official work needs to be finished first!)… & if you are a starter in the FLOSS arena, RH’s the best place to learn - how to interact with the comunity.
It was… & will remain a dream company for me!
PS: (I’m going to install FC here on my machine when Celunite shifts to Kumar Cerebrum & when I’ll get my permanent box). I’ll set up atleast one FC repository here

Hope the new company Celunite is as good as Redhat & HCL. I’ll pray to God that all yours dreams come true here.

Dear Maku
You have a very short experiance of life so far and naturally every milestone, when you look back, looks amazing than the previous experiance. But life has to move on & I am sure you will find life more interesting. But I agree with Neha girl that one should have the capacity & gumption to keep in touch with milestone gone by. Incidently, parents & home also fall in that catagory which you seem to have forgotten in your rush to move on.
Goodluck. Remain creativity & focused. You are good but others should also preceive you “good” and not take you for granted.

@Manuj : I did had plans for delhi, but found a pretty nice company here in Pune itself
@Gaurav : WahJava was right… my old office (for celunite) was just above their’s! But since we’ve shifted to a new place, our office is like 1km away… but still very near!
