Dear Friends
It’s been quiet a while since I wrote to you. But the recent announcement of John Bipasha split gave me hope that I can still stand a chance. So I decided to bring an end to my “Underscore Era” to pursue John Abrahim.
It was a proud moment in my life when I accepted the “_” in between my name and a set of numerals around four and half years back. They became my identity and accompanied me wherever I went. They brought me accolades, exposed me to challenges, brought excitement in my professional and personal life and introduced me to a great many people whom I always looked upon for guidance and strength.
Ok! I am not going after John but I would be pursuing my career interests with another corporate. It’s a moment of sadness to part with all good things that Infy brought to me coupled with an anxiety and uncertainty over my next step.
I will miss the enchanting campuses, the gossip world of bulletin boards, my Id card, my Email Id with an underscore and so many other small things that I never thought of till now. Above all, I will miss the proximity with all of you.
Please do keep in touch at shalug@gmail.com , g_shalu2000@yahoo.co.in
Cheers,
~Shalini

Oh beti....:)
That was a nice one, but not good that you are leaving Infy.
Anyway from now the underscore won't follow you but I am sure the sweet memories it gave you will follow... :)
All the best and will keep in touch.

Hello Shalini,
Since you are going to a better job, john and “more money”, do visit the gurudwara on Sundays. You will find me “sitting outside” waiting for you J
Good luck
Dear Shalini,
If I remember correctly, you were part of Jan’03 batch of trainees in Mysore ( my memory is bleak as I have become old now J ). I remember those days where we used to work in 3rd floor of SDB-1 ( again if my memory goes right). It is sad to know that you are moving out of infy. I wish you good luck in all your future endeavors. Pl stay in touch
Best wishes and warm regards,
Sundar
Hi Shalini,
This mail of yours, thankfully, hasn't come as a surprise to me. The shocking news was already conveyed over phone. :)
I was expecting this mail on Friday, though didn't realise that it was the last day for you with Infy today.
Best regards to you for your new endeavour.
It has been really nice memories that I have of the short time we have spent in london and the Isle of Skye trip (the summer trip, as winter's wasn't so cherishable for me!!)
Stay in touch as friends forever.
Thanks & Regards,
Adarsh Agrawal
I have read somewhere that whenever you have to make a decision in a life…choose the path which you think is tougher (with limited risks ofcourse J)
So don’t worry on the uncertainty of your next step…I am sure you will do well wherever u go…All the best!

Its a well written good bye message! One of the very best by one of the best!

Enjoy! And be in touch!
Hi Shalini,
How are you. After a very long time some updates come from you and you are leaving the Infy. Acha hai waise tou kahan join kar rahi ho. I must say that your mail is very different and thoughtful.
What else going on in life.
Regards
Naresh
Dear Shalini, it was a pleasure to have interacted with you (however brief it was) and having you in REU! Thank you for you contributions to REU and Infosys at large.
I wish Infosys could still have helped you in going after JohnJ, but I respect your decision and here is wishing you the very best in your future endeavors! Stay in touch..
Warm regards
Bhaskar
