My Last Working Day email at Infosys....

Since i had no other topic to blog about... well i thought ill put my Last Working Day email at Infosys on display for people who havent seen it .. so here it is...
Sub: Farewell Infosys!!! Its time to say goodbye....
Dear All,

I’ve always believed that "Destiny is only by choice and not by chance" and I am glad that I chose to join Infosys. If I hadn’t I would’ve missed meeting so many wonderful people, building on both personal and professional relationships and getting once in a lifetime experience.

The day has come when I have to say goodbye to a place which became my second home away from home. This eventful and joyous journey in Infosys started on 28th August 2007.

The heaven called Mysore where I had the best days of my life with some of the most wonderful people of August LC1 Generic and Finacle batch. My heartiest thank you to my friends whom I spent most of my time with be it arguing on some topic to pulling each other’s leg .. You all have etched a special place in my heart and soul .. A special thank you to my mentors in Finacle for teaching me the nuances of Finacle.

From Mysore to the production environment in Chennai where I met my post training mentors… I would like to thank Subramaniam Sundaram, Gayathri Devi and Shyamala Ganesan for your help, support and all the knowledge you folks have showered on me when I initially joined production as a novice in Payment Systems.

The Payments Team, I would like to thank all my project managers and my peers for the patience and faith they have showed in me during my stint in Infosys.

And last but not the least my roommates and friends in Chennai … I will remember you lifelong for all the fun filled times we have had. There hasn’t been a single moment when I felt lonely in company of you guys…

It’s as if my entire life in Infosys is flashing in front of my eyes and its making me nostalgic…

As I venture into the next adventurous journey at University of Buffalo in New York .. I won’t be going alone… with me I would be taking tones of knowledge and memories full of joys and happiness.

Finally …Thank you INFOSYS for making me what I am today.

After today employee no. 92410 will cease to exists. This is Herat Acharya signing off from INFOSYS. I wish everyone success in all the endeavors and challenges you take up.

Until we meet again … Adios!!!!

Warm Regards,
Herat :)



“When we see a star, we admire its glitter, the twinkle catching our eye, and all through our lives, we only see the twinkle, whenever we see the star. we know but fail to see, what all it takes to be a star is an unending fire. A fire that’s beneath the surface , the fire that made it the star it is. and had we seen the star this way, we might have woken up to the fact, that the only thing separating us from being a star, is the lack of fire within our hearts. Ignite the fire within and you’ll be the star you want to be …” So that was my Last working day email at Infosys hope you liked it.... Until u hear from me next time ... Cya....
