All's well that ends well

"Mr. Prasanna, just to remind you that your flight is scheduled to depart at 2350 tonight".

I guess there's no better way of putting the fact that I'm leaving tonight better than the above line, courtesy Singapore Airlines. It is with a tinge of sadness, a sense of duty and a great deal of contentment, that I leave India, after calling it home for the last 4.5 months. In this time, my life truly is a roller coaster, and while I will not say I have enjoyed every minute of it, I have been better for it. There have been high points, there have been low points but all of them have been a learning curve and I treasure each moment.

It would be wrong of me not to thank important people at this juncture, yet there are too many of them to thank individually. However, I like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kale Balkrishna, Joint Managing Director, Retail Experts Software Pty Ltd for giving me the opportunity to complete my work experience in his company. It was truly a great booster to my studies and I'm sure the lessons I have learnt will be valuable in the future. I would also like to thank all the people in Bangalore, Tirunelveli and Chennai for keeping me company, when I visited these places. Truly some amazing times.

Well what next? For me, it will be back to Adelaide, and joining my career in a few months. After that who knows....

Thank you Hyderabad, and God bless India!!!
