The power of 7

It all began from Jeetu's office in VJTI..... Finally we had the joining date... 20th Aug 2007 was the date... List was confirmed and we 7 were about join Amdocs India from VJTIMCA 07.... and after that what people did with the list is an another story...

I always thought the class @ VJTI was the weirdest possible combination of people and a subset of 7 cant get any better... but little that i knew was that when acquaintance is turned into the friendship.... it creates an awesome flavour....

So on the 19th Aug the fate was sealed.... we found ourselves on the way to pune... We knew each other very well but we all belonged to different regions of the class.... Everyone had their own characteristics... but the only thing we had common was madness....Everyone had their own share.... meanwhile we have stayed so close to each other that now we can feel that the characteristics are overlapping these days....

Starting with the honeymoon period @ amdocs when everyone lived in the dreamland.... we were fast and furious... We wrote Shayaries, poems and gave presentations :P ..... and those who could not write, simply added the commercials in the mail chains.... We even had the lunchtime agendas of "how to kill sid?" when all 7 together had lunch together and even though it was about to kill me... that's a thing I've missed for many days and in future will surely miss it.....

Just like the dreamlands were shattered... The amount of exuberance with which the company was joined.... equal and opposite was experienced by most of us just after an year.... but as no one wanted to take the lead.... and the bond prevailed...

And how can if forget all the madness.... how can i forget all the parties, picnics and our knack of discussing the world in official mails and technical discussions during our leisure time... We had our differences, we fought, we had our silences but we've got over it... and that i think makes this group special.....

Meanwhile we even tried to create a T shirt for the grp but the even after the successful design we could not bring that T shirt in reality... So the lesson learned "Project is not over till it goes into production...."



and here is something mitul wrote for the grp


One would be the greatest but still lonely,
Two would be a couple but it would still ignore the rest,
Three was never a company,
Four will never be company,
Five would always be on a high,
And Six would still need another taste,
We are 7 Names, 7 colours, 7 Flavours!

Each with highs, each with issues,
Each different, but incomplete by themselves,
Blends well but each has its presence,
Not too sweet, Not too sour, Not too spicy, nor too bland,
A perfect taste, each in its right quantity,
We are 7 Names, 7 colours and 7 flavours...

We are The 7..... We did not do anything extraordinary but still we enjoyed the time together and will separate in future and that is why cant help it to feel nostalgic about it but one thig is for sure.... we'll remain friends... friends for life....
