For those who have been following this blog – and for those who haven’t been… firstly sorry, for the time since the last post. And doubly sorry, since in my anxiety to upload i deleted all my earlier post… Well it wouldn’t be my first experience at not backing up data and certainly not going to be my last experience at losing data… anyway, it is always new opportunity to start fresh – life gives us that each day…
Those who knew US, would know what i am talking of. It has been a glorious six years of working in Freitagmann from 2003 to 2010… But things have changed and have come to the level of bidding the heritage goodbye.
Among the happy memories there were of course Apollo hospital and the ganesh umbrella which reminds us of our naivete.. and our incredible capacity at working with our hands for long periods of time.
Then there was science city which we executed in 20 – 25 days, when we were just entering the world of computer aided tensile structures… and not really clear about all patterning and stuff…
There was IMS through which we made some great friends, and also along the way we have lost some dear ones…
There were immense number of times when we questioned where we stood and what we did and if we were moving in the right direction and if we were doing things that mattered… But principles drove us strong and long…
There were feeble attempts at discovery – and marvelous experiences at inventions.
All this and more that shall be a part of our memory. Thank you all those who have been in these… Miss you we shall.
Aideu.
