“Good byes are not forever. Good byes are not THE END. They simply mean I will miss you day and night, until we get a chance to meet again”

Today was my last day at my first job. After graduation, having thousands of dreams in mind, ambition glittering through my 6' existence , I started applying for jobs in February 2022. Got an interview call from two companies, one was Falaknaz Group and second was Tech Vertex. I easily got job at Falaknaz group therefore never bothered myself to go for an interview at Tech Vertex.

Now for those of you who don’t know, there are two type of jobs ,in general ,for someone desiring to work as professional civil engineer:
1) Site Related Job (More tilted towards execution of designed projects)
2) Office Job (More tilted towards designing phase of projects)

The job at Falaknaz Group was site related, and execution is fun until one realizes the site related hazards, evocative accidents, and skin problems start staring right in the face. I am and will always be thankful to Falaknaz Group for giving me an amazing learning opportunity through this job. I made persistent friends, always remembered memories (some worst and some among the best).

Considering professional life, I learned the layout of floors, level marking on columns and masonry walls for multiple purposes, preparation of bar bending schedules, preparation of daily reports, supervision of pouring activities, and methods to cater any site related issues be it a fatal accident or strife among labor. All the learning cannot be explained through words, therefore cutting long story short I feel myself groomed enough to overhaul any residential site on my own and all the credit goes to Site In-charge and supervisors there at The Destiny Garden who never abstained in sharing any useful knowledge.

Considering my personal life, some best and some worst things happened to me during this job time period. I observed behavioral changes in myself. The most prepotent skill I learned is to remain calm no matter how disturbing the situation could be as I started believing in Allah more and more as the days passed. I got a chance to meet someone whom I felt is very dear to my heart, soon realizing I was mistaken. I learned how to love and how to hate someone. Learned that a lot should be kept inside and a little should be shown to the world. As we had four towers under construction, it was easy for me to hide my emotions and haul over site while sobbing so that no one could see.

With a lot of memories, happiest moments and saddening events am starting a new job filled with hopes, full of courage and much more confident. I believe that a lot waits for me in the future, just that I need to believe in Allah and need to keep moving. Because that is what life teaches “keep moving forward”.
