Unemployed… July 1, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , trackback…for a while. Today is my last official day in my current organization and I cant say how relieved I am feeling. Its almost like I am moving on to the next stage in life. Dont know whether it will be good or turn sour but I know my time has come. It is so weird when you are the apple of the eye one moment and the very next you are asking a stranger to let you out as you do not have the access card anymore. There were many ‘Best of Lucks’ & many ‘Keep in touch!’.. even on a wild hunch, I can say that almost 90% of the people will never ever write back. But that isnt important… I was overwhelmed by the number of calls & mails I received as I sent my ‘thankyou’ mail! I have been working with one of the strongest telecom firms in India and I am happy that I am moving on. Lots of people seemed to be surprised to see my move.. they assumed that I was ’settled’… LOL, many asked me ‘why take a risk?’, ‘am i not scared!?’… well, I am scared but not as much as I would have been had I stayed back in my current profile. I am happy that I have made my decision to move on.. things will never be the same, but whats the fun if nothing changes!
So, from tomorrow I can spend more time on my Duke stuff, my shopping, my people, my packing.. and the list goes on! I will try be prompt with my blogging but there is so much to do with so little time!

“many asked me ‘why take a risk?’, ‘am i not scared!?’… well, I am scared but not as much as I would have been had I stayed back in my current profile.”
That’s EXACTLY how I feel about going to Business School. I have people saying how much they admire me for taking a risk but I feel it’s a much bigger risk being in a role that is slowly disappearing.
Were u by any chance working with RIC in DAKC?
