Free Hugs
The best gift you can give is a hug: one size fits all and no one ever minds if you return it

Yesterday was my last day at work. 3+ years with the company came to an end.
I'm proud of these years that I spent in it, the roles I had and the work I did. I'm very happy to see the company growing further and going on to higher grounds.
Though at the current role and site, I had been only for an year, I got to hear some really nice words.
Although I can't confirm the factor of genuine-ness, but do want to mention one of those which pierced right through my brain and would stay there for a long time.
The cleaning lady [ the Mexican lady in her Fifties ] - who was on vacation all this while, did come back yesterday and when she got to know I was leaving, did express a lot of disappointment. Not that I helped her in the cleaning job [ rather did increase the work for her I guess ] but did share some nice conversations.
At the end, she hugged me and said "Come Back" !!! :-)
Troubled my roommate to drop me off at the airport [ last bit of troubling him :) ]
Was a little worried about the luggage size & limit, cos the machine we got at home last night was displaying 50 & 51 lbs, but it proved to be 50 & 49 lbs.. Was cribbing about leaving behind that 1lb of stuff.. ;-)
Sitting at the SAN airport & jotting down this here as the internet is free.. Although I have a 3 hour lay over in LA / London, the internet is not free there [ how shameful :) ]
Really looking forward for the long flight, where I can sleep without bounds.. :P [ Dee, I am sure u r gonna comment on this part ]
One thing I realized is that I fail badly when it comes to hugging, I need to practice, probably should join the "Free Hugs" team.. :-)
Free Hugs anyone ??
