Some Answers???

Well here goes some answers to the questions.... not even sure how accurate they are but well writing what i feel is right right now....

Why did i Quit?
Whats the next step?
Where am i and what am i doing ?

It has been on my mind tht my tenure was coming to an end in the company soon.... i had lost the zeal to work there.... having spent 6 years, it was like i knew the in and out of the company, every loophole tht could probably be there, it was ventured by me i guess... but well am sure there wud be a difference of opinion with some people when i go on to say tht there was not a challenge tht existed there.... it was beginning to become more or less of covering one's a** which i was not very keen on.... had for most of my tenure got away with doing things the way i want or getting things done by others the way i want.... without having to resort to the politics tht existed....was happy learning watever i was able to....which in my opinion has been a lot....so much tht i realise how much more there still is to learn...but yeah...things started to change...and well i wasnt comfortable nor happy with the way i was working.... i have always maintained tht the day u lose interest in coming to work....u should quit.... there's no point in continuing with something where u know ur interests dont lay.... in this i believe both professionally and personally :) Moving on... i was pretty sure tht it was just a matter of time before i put in my papers... slowly started planning my next move...considering the various options that i had in front of me.... visiting my sister in the US... moving to another lucrative offer...growth coupled with moolah...tempting as it sounds...dint interest me much (surprising...i knw!!!) and well then there was this thing abt getting back to studies.... i had always said that i wud do my MBA from a good college and not through correspondence...not tht i could afford the time away or due to anything else...but mainly to the fact tht i have missed out on a good educational experience...its always been the same thing...learning things by heart and puking them out on the papers during exam times.... always felt tht there was something missing...where is the part whereu understand something and put it down in ur words.... even if someone does...well it doesnt fetch u the same kind of results...simply bcoz it doesnt match with the textbooks....well it could be my way of looking at things too....prob it's my bad.... anyways am digressing from where i started..so well getting back to studies was another option and finally coming to kerala, taking care of some family matters and taking care of my granny who was at the moment being shuttled from here to there between my uncles....
Now i was to stick around with my job if i was expected to be going to the US.... but tht thought dint make me very happy... i was pretty much sure tht i wanted to quit as soon as possible... tried speaking with various people if there was any chance of getting the Visa while being unemployed or else atleast having an appointment letter for some other company.... but well it dint work out...and my mind steered away from the thought of going to the US... i mean i could do it anytime...whenever i decided to do so.... but at tht moment i felt wat was important was taking care of granny, getting back to studies.....take a sabattical, travel a bit, feel the pinch of the pocket....manage with limited means... learn to cook (dint want granny to cook obviously all the time!!) ....and also at the same time.... take up a place in kerala so that mom could come down and slowly relocate herself with her mom... well so one fine day decided tht it wud be my last day in the company.... and it happened to be Monday, July 9th the day i wrote the post abt my brief disappearance..... ironical... but well it all seemed to work out just fine.... quit in the early part of the day after having a word with my VP (Operations)

And now after being in delhi for the remainder of the month....packed my bags (and my bike by the way) and left for Kerala.... its been just over 4 days since i am here.....and from the time i have been here i have been visiting my uncles, did the last rites' pooja in the name of my granpa who passed away 2 years back, saw granny, laid down on her lap....just for a while...she isnt as strong as she used to be... told her that i would take up a place soon and mom too would join us and she would be able to stay with us.... took off from ther after that and met my other uncle... and from there i again pushed off towards my base (Kottayam)..... and all this i did on my trusted steed with all my relatives wondering what a crazy a** i am to be doing all this on my bike...in the rain....through the bad roads...the roads abt which i had no clue.... but well they should slowly begin to understand me.... hopefully atleast ;)
From there i have now come to visit my cousin in thrissur (by train this time) with whom i shall drive back to kottayam in his car.... visiting them...sitting on the bed and writing all this...for i dont knw wat reason....
Well this has been pretty long.... havent probably answered everything but will soon try n finish up....
Until then its Au Revoir :)

A new begining to what???

Hmmm.... well i left the last post a bit abruptly and wanting for information i guess...

actually i was writing tht post sitting on the train.... yeah yeah.... am just trying to flaunt tht i was able to get online even while on the move....thanks to technology....with the well built laptops and GPRS courtesy Sunil Mittal's Airtel ;-) Of course not to forget lalloo prasad yadav himself...coz without him there prob wouldnt have been a plug point in the train...and without a plug point i wouldnt have been able to remain online for a long time.... :D

coming back....
