When you spend close to two decades at place and then move on, you leave back a part of yourself and also retain the place in your mind and heart. Such is Infosys to me, where I had started my career back in August 1995, as a campus hire.
Started my journey in heritage building at Infosys Bangalore Electronic City campus and later moved to Infosys Pune Phase 1 in 2004. Eventually stepped out in May 2014 and it was a flurry of emotions while leaving.
Since they haven't had much chance to be back in campus, though always longed for it. So it was an exciting moment, when I found out that Infosys was hosting its first ever Infosys Alumni meet and at Pune Phase 2 campus. I had to be there and would not miss it for anything.
As I drove to the campus today morning, I realized that it was as different level of excitement and I was thinking, that I have been on these roads so many times, but for a long time, they never lead back into the campus. But here I was today, waiting to get into the campus.
It was a pleasure to catch up with ex-colleagues and the meet and greet seemed to go on and on, with so many people to catch up, so many years to catch up about. It was pretty large gathering and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The Phase 2 campus that had come up while we were around, has become so green today. The pathways are all covered with tall trees. I recall, in the initial days, it was so tough to walk on them especially in peak summer and we all hoped for the trees to grow big quickly.
Welcome tea/coffee etc. and my favorite "This is my Infy, This is your Infy" tune playing in the background, followed by few sessions (some did feel like sitting in a meeting as a client hearing the Infosys pitch), loads of discussions, and then lunch at food court 3. I did meet a few of the canteen staff also from earlier years and the happiness to meet each other was mutual.
It is great initiative by Infosys and look forward to more such events not just Infosys, but at other organizations also.
