Thank You For the Music ....



Its been a little over a year and half but it feel like Harshita has been at Sandarbh forever. So when she told us a few months back that she wants to take a break from work and leave, it took us all a little time to get used to. In fact, it didnt seem real to me at all though shes been counting backward since the last 2 months.
Its been more than a week now and its finally hitting me. Harshita is not here. 



Its a very conspicuous absence. I turn around as I always do to say something and Harshita is not there twiddling with her hair with one hand and typing away on her laptop with another. There is noone to laugh out loud with and exchange looks with when Sai says something incredulous. There is noone to intimidate and rattle the interns (and all others) with the most cut and dry statements. To top all this off, its quiet in the office now. 



Harshita and her legendary playlists are what we have been working to the tune of for the longest time now and suddenly there is no music and we dont know what to play! The Marshall must be wondering what has happened and is probably hoping that his keeper is back soon to manage him. She made me download the app to make sure that each song is played with the right bass and trebles but we have hardly been playing music and I havnt opened the app yet even!! (I will Harshita, I promise!!) 


Its not just the Marshall ..... its all of us echoing the same thoughts ..... We miss you already Harshita and its hardly 10 days! 
Take your long break, travel (dont plan it so much though), do nothing ... just laze with no thoughts, bake away (and try and send us some if you can), make more super playlists (and name them as imaginatively) and come back. I cant imagine so many things without you as part of it! Going out will never be the same .... Gigs will never be the same .... sigh! 



I'll stop because I can go on with this. Suddenly 1.5 years is quite a long long time. So many good times and amazing memories. 
Take care dude and all the very best for everything you want to do. We miss you .... keep coming back and we will build more happy times!! :-)
