On that day, after all formalities were over n all my friends sign off, i came to my cabin to take all my things. Nobody in the floor at that time. Upto that i didnt get any feel of leaving since i didnt remember that, from next day onwards am not allowed to enter inside... I slightly thought of those things and there i got blocked.. I just sat on my place and called to some friends and talked long time... Lights went off as no body in floor and decided to leave at that time.. Took my things and just viewed the entire floor once and left the office.
That day i came by car and went to parking lot and took my car from there.. On driving in the vertical slope, just thought thats my last drive from the parking and then drove completely out of the company.Usually my drive is 10mins from office to home in car. One of my friend already told me that my last drive to home will take surely longer than usual.. Yes he is correct. It took half hour to reach my home in no mans road. I Went only in second gear and accelarator not crossed 20.
My usual drive is hight pitch audio with new songs in chill AC. That day, i put off the audio and so calm with mild AC inside. Thats the journey, in that i remembered few of my recent things happened with the company. My critical time, my onsite journey, coffee time chat, lunch, facebook games, even restrooms, my frustations, meeting rooms all flashed. i dont know whether i intentionally remembered all because of last day but i did.
On the last day, except after 7 i was very normal. Infact the day before last day, i felt of leaving since nobody around at that time. Always if ur lonely so much of things will come to ur mind either good or bad... That day i called a colleague and talked for hours and then i went... Once i came to my home, i forgot all and didnt express anything to my family.. That night i didnt sleep early.. Anyway its a sweet nice drive in my car with loads of memories.So much of peoples who came back in their vehicle overtook me by throwing a bad look like if i got something mad... :)

WHO is this patrick????
Its a common family name for european country people and in many projects across companies you can come across this name. For my project also this name entered. Generally the european peoples are very soft,responsive,very intelligent and more helping tendency. My patrick also the same. He is the one in my project to give me more work and all the work he give are very helpful for the organization perspective. We will have daily conversation via mail and also there are so much of fights will come between us.At that time also he will not show the full anger directly to me or my project members but indirectly he will say to me like "Am going to escalate to management, whoever did fault either u or me or whomsoever". Even on escalation too he will tell and then do...
I had a chance to visit his place as a one week trip to Europe. I met him first time and he shocked since he is 40+ exp tall guy and am just 20+ short. He will not see whether am exp or not but whoever he will do his job. He greeted me so gladly and he introduced me to all his colleagues and he showed all places in the company(this we will not do to anyone whenever someone came from any country). He helped me to settle down there. At free times he came to my cabin and told about all stories about higher management and shared all his frustations to me.. He was so open to me as we well known each other. Their lunch time start at 12 itself and he came to invite me for lunch.
On first day itself he let me to the nearest zoo since there only some delicious food we get. He gave food coupons for me and we went there and i took some fish and chicken varities and some unknown stuffs to taste. But that food n all not at all enough for me and very bad taste. On lunch time, i asked about his personal life and he told that he is single and wanted to be like that and he enjoying that too.. He is a traveller and for each weekend he go some where and enjoy... He told some places to visit in his country.. After a week i send off from him and returned back to india...
After 6 months i got another chance to go there and this time 2 months. Again patrick and same project work... As it is final project release time we both together daily and worked for the release. By seeing my overwork he told one day " i appreciate that you are working hard and i definetly give your management a mail about ur good work". He did as he told after my return... When i was there, company arranged for a movie outing and i was left alone as i have no company for me to see that movie(paranormal activity). When i was thinking in my cabin he came suddenly and asked me to come for the movie with him and we both went and he told all the stories about how movies and which actors are poplular there etc.
After my return, slowly we got so much of politics with the management and some times i went opposite to patrick because of some situation even i know what all he say are correct. Sometimes whenever he get angry he will complaint more about the project and all that work will come for us. As i am going away from the company i have to say a BIG thanks to him for all his support. I never forget the name PATRICK :)
