• Working in the Java EE team since inception
• Visiting 35+ countries and several cities around the world
• Speaking at all major Java conferences and lots of Java User Groups
• 15-year alumni of JavaOne as staff

Its time for me to move on!

Thank you very much for all the support that has been shown on this blog.

I'd like to conclude with a Hindi song that I've been humming for the past few days now ...

Abhi alvida mat kaho doston ...
Na jaane kahan phir mulaqaat ho ...
Kyonki ...
Beete huye lamhon ki kasak saath to hogi ...
Khawabon mein hi ho chahe mulaqaat to hogi ...

For my non-Hindi readers, here is my paraphrased meaning ...

Don't say goodbye yet my friends ...
We'll likely meet somewhere else ...
Because ...
We'll always have the memories of the wonderful time spent together ...
May be in dreams but we will meet again ...

With that, over and out, and see you at blog.arungupta.me!
