Retrospeculative

Its been a year now since I left my previous firm. And like all anniversaries, its a good time to look at where you were and where you stand now.

As I embarked on this journey through my memories, the first piece I looked at was my adieu letter at my last firm. Here it is... verbatim.

----------------
As a kid we dream a lot about what we want to be when we grow up. And those dreams keep changing after every experience. By the time we finish school, we have eliminated some possibilities and the dreams start to take a definite shape. When we graduate, we have a clear idea about where we want to be and have charted out a path to pursue the dream. But amidst the daily rigors that follow the dream gets lost somewhere.

Today is my last day at UGS and I am out to find my lost dream. They say you’ve got to let go of the good for the best. I am perhaps leaving the best for the indefinite. But then what’s a man without his dreams.

Chase your dreams!
