The last email..
An old incomplete blog entry.. restored from the draft today
Date: Oct 29
Srini left bangalore today morning. He was one of the closest pals at Trilogy. After all, we slogged together for 2 long years in the same team.
Shyamal & Nishanth, who were the very first members in India, both headed out to start their own ventures.
Vinay, my dearest and oldest teammate from the days of TU, is pretty much the only one left from the old team in India, which they always referrred as core team. (yeah given that our team was setup during out TU, its old even for just 2 years, and we were founding members :D)
I looked at my own goodbye email, the mail I sent on July 15, 2006. (The journey had started on June 21, 2004 after my engineering)

I am off the train to bonusville.... I am getting off this journey as a Trilogian. Can't believe it myself!
2 wonderful years, so many great moments to cherish, many people to thank, I definitely can't put them in a couple of lines. I thank you all making this a memorable journey so far.
A snapshot of the innumerable thoughts coming to me ....
.... and the journey continues..
I would be joining a startup and would continue to be in Bangalore. Do give me a call sometime if you want to catch up :)
I will miss you all!
Best wishes,
Jyothi

Stumbled upon this link on Ryan's family website(Ryan was our Program director. Very competant, efficient and connects deeply with folks in India)
November 11, 2005: Ryan takes a quick trip to India! He was only there for 4 days (which hardly justifies the 3 days of travel!) but still had a wonderful time.
Very hilarious to read now, pretty much drifts our(the TIS team) memory back to those days.
Current update: Date Dec 24
The good news is:
1. I have started to see the energy in uGenie. Its certainly very exciting times ahead.
2. Srini is happy staying with his parents and gets good time to spend with his SO also(now not just on phone).
3. Vinay seems to be getting the credit and lot more relaxed times (yes being in Trilogy). New organisation structure seems to have clicked well. He says I missed it! He sounds very content now though he is one among those highly confused guys still.
4. Shyamal must be doing good. Last met him at Srini's farewell dinner. Can't find updates on his company TechJini blog though.
5. Nishant was in Bangalore this week. He has started hiring for his own startup - Cobaan He has put up a slideshow why-you-should-quit-your-job-and-join-a-startup too :)
Plans ahead: Make a trip to Pondi (hopefully Vinay would join) in Jan '07 and meet Srini :)
