Farewell

-

I made one decision and it is changing my life. I resigned from my job and joined a multinational company in Islamabad. Although it was a tough decision to take since I have been working for one of the best employers in the IT industry in Lahore, the decision has been taken. After thinking for weeks and spending sleepless nights, I decided to quit my job. The reason for leaving the job is quite stupid and foolish, as has been said by some. The reason was that I needed a change of work and wanted to test my capabilities and to see to what extent I could push myself. I am a person who loves changes and also a person who doesn’t easily get adjusted to these changes. I hope I made it an understandable statement for you. It’s been over a month since I joined my new company, which is again one of the best employers in the country. I can write about it later, but for now I just want to talk about my previous company. I spent more than 5 years over there, and now when I look back, it seems like such a long time, but in memories it appears to be such a short time. I wonder where the time got lost. 
Below is the excerpt of my farewell email. 


Dear All,


With this email, I am concluding one of the most cherished chapters of my life. Today 30-July-2010 marks my last working day at Redmath. It's been 5 years and 3 months since I joined this organization. From next week I won't be a part of it anymore. As most of you know, I would be joining in Islamabad. For me it wasn't an easy decision to take after I have been working at Redmath for many years; but the principle of evolution demands change, so that we can evolve and let others to evolve as well.


I am extremely grateful to Rxxx bhai for making me a part of Redmath. I will treasure all the memories of my stay at Redmath and for that I am thankful to every Redmathematician (now and once). I feel myself quite blessed since I've had the opportunity to work on some very interesting projects with great people. On personal level, I've made some quality friendships too.


I am not very fond of goodbyes and farewells, as for me they amplifies the nostalgia. Therefore, in the end I won't be saying goodbye to you. Because goodbyes are meant for those whom you think you will not be able to meet again. But I want us to meet again. I hope I'll keep in touch with a lot of you either in person or via networks like Facebook or LinkedIn. I am not hard to find. I can be reached at
MSN / Facebook / Linkedin: xxxxx@hotmail.com
GTalk: xxxx.xxx@gmail.com
Phone: 0xxxxx (for time-being, as it will get change)

Take very good care of yourself. May Allah bless you all.

Thanks & Kind Regards,
Arfan Ameer

2016: A year in review – Crossroads and then a Straight line

-
It’s May 2017 and I had the impression that I had already put down my reminiscences of 2016... which I hadn’t... so I am writing them now. As mentioned in my review of 2015, at the end of 2015 I got a contract job offer in Canberra for a federal government department. However, I wasn’t sure if I should take it or not, as I was anxiously waiting for the final outcome of my job application at PWC. I knew I had made it through there; it’s just that I was waiting for final formalities to begin. The first few weeks of January passed and there was no reply from PWC. Meanwhile, the Canberra job agent was waiting for me to join as I had passed through all the formal checks. Finally, after some anxious days, I got a reply from PWC that they wanted to offer me a job, and they asked me for my expected salary. I replied to them with the figure that I knew some of my former colleagues were already getting there. At the same time, I got feedback on my annual review from my Capgemini manager, and i

Life at 40

-
Yesterday and the day earlier, I was going through my blog. I proofread it, fixed grammatical mistakes, and paraphrased some sentences. I know I have stopped writing regularly and I can see long gaps in my writing. At times, I do feel like writing something, but I procrastinate. I need to be regular because when I go through my old posts, I realise how my life has shaped up over the years. How my thoughts, worries, and joys have changed over the years. How have I transformed over the years? Today I have limited time. I will try to complete this post instead of saving it in drafts only to be completed next year. I have just dropped my kids off at school and the youngest one is at day-care. My wife is at work, and I am at home, all alone. I must complete a solution pack by Friday, and I should be concentrating on it instead of my blog, but I want to write something. Reading my old posts yesterday, I realised how much my life has changed over the years. There has been a challenge in almo
