Dear HCP & all others,

Greetings !

HRS added me recently to this wonderful group, and I thank him for the same.

I think many of you may remember me through my association with PSW mainly between 1979 to 1984 regarding Source Development activities. I would briefly present my journey through this great company:

• I worked in SDC and CMD from 1979 to 2000, under HCP, KC, WJND, KK, PRK, UAP etc
•  
• In Sept 2000 deputed to L&T Infotech, confirmed as Head Corporate Purchase in April, 2001.
• 
  
• Retired from L&T Infotech in Dec 2009, after 2 years extension.

What I am mainly thankful  is that L&T, even after my retirement, continued to give me assignments for next 4 years:

• Feb 1010 - One year retainership contract in L&T Infotech. I left with bag & baggage in Feb 2011.
• 
  
• Feb 2011 - Mr D B Raju recalled me to give another one year contract in L&T Realty Pvt Ltd (Gate No. 5). I had to establish Contract & Purchase Dept and implement SAP.
• 
  
• Jan 2012 - L&T Infotech recalled me and sent abroad to Norway for an assignment on Software Licence Contract Management with one of their clients for 4.1/2 months.
• 
  
• June 2013 - L&T Infotech called me again and sent abroad to Sweden for a similar assignment for 5.1/2 months.

Presently I am a Freelance Corporate Trainer for Supply Chain, Quality Systems, Leadership etc and based in Mumbai.

At this moment I would like to share a poem (attached) - "दिलकहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं " - which I wrote in Feb 2011 while leaving L&T after 31 years.  

I remember tears came to my eyes while composing and  rendering this poem, it has been such a memorable and marvelous journey through a great company L&T. Please enjoy it.

Cheers

दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं                           अवकाशग्रहण 31 वर्ष की मधुर यात्रा, रही बड़ी सुहानी कभी चली धीमे-से,  कभी रही द्रुतगामी अब तो राह बदलनी है, दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं ज्ञान का समुन्दर है, तकनीकी का प्रांगण अनुभव सिखाता पल-पल, विस्तार ये एक आंगन कर्मठता की ज्योत जली यहाँ पर, दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं आधा जीवन दिया है तुझको पर पूरा जीवन मिला है मुझको जीने की राह दिखाई है, दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं कितना कुछ किया है हासिल बहुत कुछ फिर भी है बाकी तन-मन में उमंग, अब भी कितनी है बाकी, दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं जो साथ चले वह अपने थे कुछ रूठ गये वह भी अपने थे मित्रों का अगाह समुन्दर, दिल कहता है, रुक जाऊँ मैं                     - राज सेठ,  03फरवरी, 2011
