So much So soon

Thru ought my adult life the only thing I have mostly importantly carved for is a “stable life “ , a life without any alterations…..but as goes the saying “Change is the ultimate constant “. The moment you think “life set hai boss” bang on….. something happens and life turns upside down….
So pplzz…I have finally decided to ditch my job for higher studies……..and trust me that’s the second biggest decision (after deciding to get married off course) I have taken.

Since the day I started working I was clear only about one thing that I wanted to do MBA….this wanting at that time was primarily because of the fact that everyone else was doing mba and technical stuff was/is not my cup of tea exactly. Hubby says , I am allergic to technology. ….but gradually when I started working I did realized that why MBA was such an important thing for me (the reasons should remain best known to me hence not blogging them down)

Nearly one year passed and I did nothing to suffice my fancy of doing MBA (I was all busy enjoying perks of being independent wink wink )….as I was about to finish one year in my project my PM ‘R’ asked me if I was interested to join the onsite team in UK… the last word of her sentence rang fire bells in my head loud enough to momentarily knock mba out of my head and I promptly said a yes :O.

Now this was a feet as I had not even completed a year in project and I got the opportunity(yeah that what it was called in those times) but the sweet story turned sour when my PM informed me after a week that my application could not be processed because of some rule change that required me to complete 1 year in the project : (ironical isn’t it) . Disappointed nevertheless disheartened my clumsy brain remembered the word MBA and rang an alarm bell again, so without any further delay I joined CAT coaching class after paying a whooping fee of 12k (well that was more than half of my salary that time )


I totally engrossed myself in CAT studies and gave away simple pleasures over weekend…… all was well for few months and comes another twist in the tale…..my PM informed me (she assumed I would still be interested which in fact was true) that I would be leaving for onsite after my visa comes and that would be after one month . Now…..you see there is something about us humans no matter how much we deny but we are lil greedy people…so my super greedy mind thought let’s take this chance “CAT to deti rahongi but bar-bar UK akele jane ko nahi milega..enjoy kar le abhi tho ....kitna aur padegi”. I then spoke to my mother who was initially quite apprehensive about her youngest and most spoiled child living alone in and alien country but after sometime even she agreed that going to onsite would do me good . Hence my CAT plans were dropped temporarily for a very long time .

Finally last yr I did gave CAT which in turn was a total disaster and now since I am pretty desperate I have decided to go ahead with the choice I have in hand so basically it has taken me six long years to get into B-school (hopefully I won’t take this much time to get out of it)

So June 30th happened to be my last working day with M….the day I resigned I was relieved and emotional at the same time…..and why not six years in one company with one project and one team is definitely a long time……….until few weeks ago I was planning to renovate my house and planning some shopping and now all plans have taken a backseat……..as me and hubby would be staying in two different cities for at least (and hopefully) 11 months.

Anyways…as papa always says all happens for good……..with this faith let me bid ciao …..have a wonderful weekend everyone ……..Enjoy!!!
