STMicroelectronics, Farewell Memories

I pulled this out from the annals of my now sparingly used yahoo account. I am glad I still had the copy of that mail I send 8 years ago to express my gratitude at ST

Dear All,

Following is in line what sundeep did, I had the wonderful fortune of knowing you all so closely. My intention here is just to say what picture comes to mind. I am not editing or even rereading to check for my spell mistakes. So don’t be harsh on me and on you.

NOTE ::It is not with any intention to offend anyone but merely for amusement.

Shivchitt – We shared a same flat along with Amit goel. Still recount those numerous times when we had to plea the local hack to get the fuse done which has been taken away by the noida power people. Giving lavish tips and reasoning we are so busy people. Those endless night walks learning about his flames sharmil, pooja …wondering man what we are doing in noida. PUNE chalo.

Inderneil – Our beckhem. One of the coolest guy. Will always remember the saying he pasted in his cubicle “Live well it is the greatest revenge”

Pankaj – I had a wonderful time when we shared the same cubicle. I wonder why he is now keeping so low profile these days. A man with a knack to anticipate the problem way ahead. Always encouraging. His enthusiasm is just infectious. If you get bored in his company you surely need to see your psychatrist.

Sunil Narula – The methodical guy. Good he is now settled.

Arti – The beautiful lady always helped me with my work. I could still recollect the first day I came to ST and after the tiring interview with Sanjay Singh she escorted me to the lab and I kept thinking “ST mein life achi hai”.
