When I initially joined the company, I used to have lunch mostly in my cubicle since I knew no one to accompany me for lunch. One day, one of my project mates asked me to join her for lunch. She already went with a group of 3 more people. I joined them and there was no looking back. It was just great. We used to rattle on for quite a long time and we used to enjoy. But it did not stay for long. I joined the group in December. One of them got married and settled abroad in June. Another went to Delhi on an assignment. Then there were only 3 of us. But we were again joined by 3 more gals who had gotten transferred from Bangalore after their marriage. Again it was a lively group. We got on well with each other and we used to look forward for those lunch hours each day where we used to discuss anything and everything, ottify and vaarify each other. Then again one of them got married in November and got transferred to Bangalore. Another went on an onsite assignment. In a few months time three more gals joined our gang through a common friend. Before we could fully enjoy each others company, three of them went on an onsite assignment, another went to some other branch in chennai since her project shifted and another is quitting the job and going to Delhi. So nowadays only two of us are going for lunch. Probably we might be joined by more people in future. But there is no time to get closer as we used to during school or college days. Though we don’t miss each other very much since we’ve not spent much time together, we really miss the good times we’ve had together during lunch.What to do..just like all bad things have to come to an end, good things also have to come to an end.Let me not end this post on a sad note. Looking forward for more company and livelier moments during the lunch time in future.

hi Ms.C, first time here...came via ambi... cool posts....
you see there's a saying...
“Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.”

Company is the essence of life.
Without friends life becomes too dull.
With you, on this thought. But it is part of life; let us enjoy it as it truly is.
