The day I stepped off the Maglev.....

20th July shall be memorable......thats the day I stepped off one of the most illustrous phases of my professional carrier - the day i bid adieu to RCom. I had joined RCom 3 years back with no expectations but a tremendous amount of satisfaction for having achieved my cherished dream of making a career shift to telecom, but today when I am leaving RCom, I rewind and pause at the spectacular moments on the Maglev - the baptism through fire during the MTN due-diligence, the weekly one pagers to the boss, Prashants ripping the presentations threadbare, the endless regulatory consulting papers, last minute work on the 3G business case on the eve of my marriage, last minute changes on the 3G business case on the eve of my second anniversery, the exciting games during the auction simulation, the boring routine during the actual auction, the break neck pace, the loud arguments and the afternoon vada pav's during the 3G PMO, the six month korean sojourn, the deluge of vendor meetings, the 3G jamboree meeting....the fond memories are limitless....
Even the last day at Reliance was action packed to the extend that I boared the flight back 5 min before the take off. As I heard the final boarding call over the PA system during my personal security check, it sunk in that in the next 10 min I was infact boarding off one of the fastest rides of my professional career.........
