the joy of resignation!!!!!

This sounds weird but totally true...i have started my professional career with resignation....and even thinking about it while writing is giving me a lump in the throat..the way circumstances changes with a blink of an eye has really caught me by surprise.....the sequence of events which unfolded wud give even heisenbergs uncertainity principle a run for d money...but as the cliche goes "all is well that ends well"....so hre i am still alive(in all flesh and blood), kicking and looking forward to my new job......
My brief stay in "philips" was something which i will never forget...rite from the induction programme to the BOOTCAMP seesion(employee training programme)every single moment i spent dre was surreal...it speaks in volumes about the kind of phenomenal work culture which they have developed in due course of time at philips....somethings i will never forget about philips and which i find worth mentioning....
1)its flamboyant CEO ,a dutch guy,whose sublime personality,infectious energy and twinkle in the eyes will put many a youths to shame.....his commitment to work,his presence of mind and above all his sagacity really impressed me.
2)the sprawling PHILIPS INNOVATION CAMPUS ,whose vastness and design ,was in all sense insanely good...right from the fish aquarium in the sanctum of the campus to the super soooper big philips TVS placed hre and dre,everything was so planned that it seemed as if u have eneterd a small universe in itself...
3)the friends which i made dre during this brief stay....we did almost every possible thing in just 10 days togedr which very few ppl wud have even dreamt off.....we played chess near philips NXP(semiconductor division) building which was supposedly a showcase kinda thing and which ppl vre not supposed to tuch...to..things as trivial as me and my friends sighing deeply upon seeing any hot chick as dre was not a single worth looking chick in the new joinees pool...
4th)the souveniers which philips gave me(i mean all of us)like cadbury chocolates ..gosh dey have some secret collabration with cadburys i think.(anything happens dre and out of nowwhr appears a bag full of dairy milks....)and a group photo wid alexius(remember the charming ceo)and odr new joinees...
5th)a 2 hr session by one Mr. bhaskaran who was the head of india centre....to be a part of the audience when bhaskaran sir speaks was a dreamcome true for sure....the precious professional mantras which he gave wud go a long way in my career..
6th)last but not the least the "grossly over"makedup" receptionist"..i wunt forget her....as someone who firmly believes that a receptionist at the entrance is a face of the company...i wont say she was not beautiful...but seeing her in d morning after hopping out from the bus,was comical in its own ssubtle way...it seemed that she had just put the entire "vanity case"on her face....or lemme try to delineate her appearence for my readers....check dis one out....
a)base of her face ie the skin used to shine more than the PHILIPS CFL(and incandescent bulbs and tubes)...and that was courtsey the grossly misappropriate amount of "foundation"cream which she applied on her face...
b)i donno what gals call it probably "eyeliner" which godknows in what way she used ..it seemed to the onlooker that the natural facial features like eyebrows and all ceased to exist in her case..
c)thirdly and most importanly her evr-shrinking-dress-size was enf to raise many a brows and corrobarate the mantra which companies endorse in the times of recession called"cloth cutting"ooooopsssss dint i say cost cutting...
d)her high heels which can be exxageratingly compared to the petronas in malaysia.....it wud really give the physics enthusiasts food for thot that how come her ohhsoo slender heels wud bear her body weight........
ahh enf of description.....

so all in all it was a wonderful 10 days at PHILIPS INNOVATION.....anyways for now i m waiting for my next job joining which is supposed to be on july6th..till den its ..
