Some of my colleagues who won't be around next week decided to give me an impromptu farewell party last night. An unexpected and very touching gesture, complete with a beautiful gift - a Ganesh statue to bring me luck.
Amidst the fun and laughter and all that beer (really, a whole lot of beer), I found myself facing the first stirrings of the old bitter-sweet feeling. It's been nearly five years here; most of that time has been good and I have made some good friends. Have learnt so much, grown so much. Moving on, although something I chose for myself, is bringing on a touch of sadness as well. I guess it's natural though. It's been quite a year already....All changes inevitably bring along a jumble of emotions and questions. Moving out of one's comfort zone, taking a leap into the unknown, can be scary. But I know I'm up for it. It's time.
