The initial days were filled with training, eager faces, and a sense of possibility, as exemplified by a fellow trainee's introduction of the author as a "pillar of the organization."

However, the path was not always linear, as the author faced moments of doubt and temptation to pursue higher salaries at other companies.
Ultimately, the author's fear of losing the stability, friendships, and sense of belonging at Infosys always won out, and they remained committed to the organization. The author reflects on these 20 years as a "well-written novel" filled with "moments of magic" and connection, where the true magic lay not in grand promotions but in the everyday experiences and relationships that shaped their journey.
