Get off the Coke!!!

It was simply irresistible, I had to have one, so I had one.

Rest of the guys at home were having a beer and I had to have something. You just don't want to be the guy with no glass in your hand when everyone else says 'Cheers!!!'. So now what, well tonsils, still the size of a grape.

We all swiped out from Satyam Cyberspace, yesterday was the last day for me at the place where it all started. I still do remember the day, the first day at Cyberspace. There was nothing here in Cyberspace. They were practically building the place when we joined. There was no 9th floor Cafeteria, it was at the 2nd Floor. But the food was really good initially, there Chinese every week and mind you 'Chinese Buffet'. The normal buffet lunch was also pretty good. Breakfast was wicked too, Poori and curry everyday, Dosa made right in front of your eyes.

Initially at Cyberspace, there was this unrestricted internet access. Google, Gmail everything was open. We guys in our project had a proxy which still gave us access to these sites when it was blocked for the rest. I used to watch trailers online of upcoming movies on Yahoo! Movies on Fridays. Talk about unrestricted acess, I even managed to get Appa and Amma all the way to my workstation and meet my team when they had come to Cyperspace. It was pretty late after that, the whole place got like creepily secured like it was some CIA Research Facility or something- No music players, No Cameras

Then after I moved out of the 'Proxima' project I moved down to the the 1st floor, with VnA and then met up with the craziest set of guys in the whole world. A very important part of my family which I call the 'Chappi team'.The name originates from the 'Chai Peene' breaks we had a zillion times in Cyberspace. We used to pick our coffee tea and move to the Fire Exit in the 'Lobby walli Front-Side' of Cyberspace. I so loved these breaks, it was during these breaks that I got inducted to this amazing fun place called 'Goa Institute of Management' aka GIM. I became friends with not just the members of Chappi team but made friends with a whole lot of characters like Uprety, Jaggu, Wikeh, Patru, Chadda. More on this in some other post. We really did have some fun Chappi breaks at Cyberspace.

We shifted from Cyberspace as a team to another building only to shift back to Cyberspace after a few months. Now we are shifting again, only this time there's definitely no shifting back to Cyberspace. From November 2004 to November 2009 it's been a good time swiping in and out of Cyberspace. What would I miss most about Cyberspace? Nothing actually, maybe the ATM inside CyberSpace. After the whole Chappi Team disbanded, I already had missed what I always liked about Cyberspace the - 'Chai Peene' breaks at Cyberspace.
