'what was that? you just got promoted and it was you who asked to travel back to offshore. so why?' he was upset with my resignation. but i was done. I was so done with this. He was asking me questions because he thought i was going to join some other company. That was not true. I didn't want to tell him. he would laugh or i don't know, may be he would be shocked or tell me that i was mad and will ask me take some leave from work and relax.
'personal reasons' i uttered. this 'personal' word works wonders if you use in corporate world. no questions asked unless your boss is also your friend, which is more or less, unlikely. 'Two weeks' i was told to re-think on my decision and 'two months' they will let me go if i dont change my mind. 'Two months' it is.
There was a big task ahead. and that was none other than those 'two months'. i had to stay strong and focused. I was aware what i was gonna lose. list was long if not huge. I would be missing those enough chink of money which my company, with all loyalty, used to deposit in my account. which helped me pay all my bills through out the month. I am gonna miss 'work' and 'IT work culture' which has its unique way of letting non-IT people feel jealous. I am gonna miss my friends whom i meet only when i am at work. I am gonna, in a way, miss what has become my lifestyle for last eight years. I am gonna miss all of these.
Its like, if you miss so much, what are you gonna gain? maybe nothing. true, i am not sure. may be in few days i realize that it was worst decision of my life, maybe it turns out to be a disaster. But right now i dont care about 'maybe' what i care is I am going to do something which i love. for last few months i have been struggling within, not anymore.
Application was accepted by the institute. Admission letter was already in my inbox. 'maybe' i can never achieve what i intend to, but, hell yeah, i can always try. Cheers to all those who have taken such big risks in life for what they love.
