Not a trace left..

Satyam Computer Services Limited.. when I joined this company years back as a fresher.. there was pride in my heart..
Hopes... wonder... Sense of security... sense of belonging
I remember the induction program.. the huge conference hall with those comfortable leather backed chairs and microphones before you..
For a person fresh out of college.., in the initial phases of "College-to-Corporate" transition, it gave a silent message of power, comfort and responsibility..
It filled me with awe..
We had a presentation on a huge screen, a presentation that talked about its fortune 500 clients, Satyam's ODCS and campus and its global offices.. the facilities.
The organizational structure.. hierarchies.
Awards and recognitions...
It was a brilliant day.. that day, dreams glittered like stars in everyone's eyes..
Such a contrast to the fear that I know must be in the hearts of everyone associated with it today, some way or the other..
Lots of my friends and colleagues are still with them, dedicated and hard working..
I really hope things work out for them.. in the end.
But still, the good will and the brand name.. seems to have sunk without a trace...
And it dint take a decade for this to happen.. but just 2 or 3 years.
Unbelievable!

Likewise..
So many things.. that I thought wud last me a lifetime
So many things, which I depended on..
So many things, which defined my world..
Some friendships, lots of moments, so many notions... so many many things sank without a trace.
Not a trace..
Sometimes life leaves u bewildered... and afraid of what's in store for you tomorrow.
Hmm.. as the saying goes, lets cross the bridge when we come to it. :-)
