Change is the only constant thing in this world

Though its a very common and famous proverb but now i came to know about the true meaning of this proverb.

FEBRUARY 2009 , a month which revamped my life.

First change - One of my best friend got his dreamgirl and now they are married and with this our fate changes a lot because now we know there may be anyday on which we are going to get aparted as her wife will be coming to Delhi to live with him and our whole gang is about to split. A 3 year era of fun,bachelor life,night out is about to end.Although i am happy for his new life and wishes him all the best but sad too because we will no more be together.As it happens everytime with me i am always left alone but no issues its a part of life and i have to accept and live it :) .But we really had fun in his marriage as his marriage was in Bikaner and i was pritty excited as i was going to Bikaner (got new city to explore). His marriage was on 14th Feb and i left for bikaner via jaipur on 13th night.Though it was a tiring 13 hr journey but i really enjoyed it. My first destination was Jaipur from where i have to take another Bus. Delhi - Jaipur was quite sleepy and comfortable journey and 14 th Feb 5 Am i was in Jaipur. I got ticket for bikaner but bus had to leave at 7 Am. So i had 2 hrs and had nothing to do .So i decided to have a quick view of my old memories of Jaipur and i hired an auto and went to GIT , a college in Old jaipur and than to Gaurav tower the famous Hang out place in Delhi. I spent 1/2 hr in GT and sitting there i was remembering my old and beautiful days just like we clear the dust from old things which we keet in store rooms.Well the journey needs to be continued and it was already 6:30 so i need to come back to Bus Stop to catch the bus and at 07 :15 i left for bikaner. It was completely a new journey for me and as it was the first bus of the day there were only 4 - 5 passengers sitting in the bus and i started to feel bore so i decided to chat with the bus driver and i started to ask about Rajasthani culture and than he started to tell me whole lot of things about Rajasthan and the places to visit in Bikaner which oftenly tourist ignore.And i was so lost in his Rajasthani Sagas and folk songs that i even didnt come to know when we reach Bikaner and at 1 in noon i was in bikaner waiting for my friends to pick me, and the whole day was spent with other roomies in work,chatting,introductions with other family members,dancing.One thing which i liked about Rajasthani culture was there Hospitalilty, I had seen other cultures like Buddhist,Bengali,Bihari,Punjabi,Pahari but i was mesmerized by the Rajasthani culture and it becomes my hot favourite culture.As i was not there for more days so i was not able to see tourist places of Bikaner but i know that i will be going again to had full inning :) and with this confidence i was back on 16th morning to delhi.

Second Change - I left my old company Vangelz Technologies where i was working since December 05 . Really it was very hard for me to quit this company as i got almost every friends,best friend from this company. This was my second company where i worked in Delhi and my first company where i spent so much time. I still remember my first day in this company :) the very first day i worked for 13 hrs as there was enormous amount of work to do and this continues till 2 months but slowly and gradually things settle down. It was normal 9 hrs shift which was never made for me . In my whole 3.3 year of my career in this company i barely spent 6 months going home on time. but it was fun, my seniors were very supporting, my colleagues were very friendly and slowly we developed a homely enviornment in our team. We used to have night outs together, we used to spend weekends together and had trips to many places like Rishikesh etc. It was a life time experience but on 6th March it came to end as it was my last day. The whole day was spent in meeting with my colleagues and than got a very cool and unexpected farewell from my team. I never thought to leave this company but sometimes u need to move and same done by me.

Seems like Life is starting again New company, new friends but this time i know i have some friends which will remain with me no matter i am in this company or in other :) .
