Ode to my Abode for a Decade!

We have been through the thick & thin;
rains and shines;

We have traveled around the globe;
spent many nights in dingy and swanky hotel rooms;

In a "flash" of a moment, you had brought out the worst in me;
I never looked that bad elsewhere;

How easily you switched hands with that tall guy in Admin;
You are off my neck & shoulder;

You had been my Id for ten years!
You had been my Id Card for ten years!

I handed over the laptop;
We exchanged pleasantries;
We shook hands;

I deleted the e-mail profile; I tore the parking sticker;
and headed straight for home!

I'm out of HCL!

@ Sujithra, Thanks for your wishes! It is in fact, those words of encouragement that would make one third of my investment into my new company! :)
