Resignation – A new beginning

It was 28th of April ’09. I was working at office in CSC to solve problem sent by client. Finally spending nearly half day I got the solution of problem. And the solution looked just perfect; it will definitely solve the problem of client Norwich Union, who is desperate to get solutions. After drafting solution and sending to client, took time off and started browsing my mails. And what’s this!! Yupiii, I got admission offer from XLRI for one year General Management program (GMP).

It Says “We are looking forward to having you in our midst. Just as you have high expectations from the Institute, we too have similar ones from you in your pursuit of professional excellence. We wish and hope that you grow as a top notch professional with a strong sense of self-discipline, integrity and respectfulness.”

It’s really lucky Tuesday for me. I remember how XLRI selected 120 students out of thousands who applied for this course. First short list on basis of XAT and GMAT, followed by Essay writing and then Interview.

On a second thought I started thinking about my current job, that I will be resigning from CSC, to whom I have devoted my 4 years. Oh!!! I will be missing my SAP award which is given to employees who complete 4 straight years in CSC.

Next day, I came to office early and straight went to project manager. 8.50 am and not many were seen on floor. With mix feeling, I gave news to my manager and he was astounded. Recollecting his speech he congratulates me for the big achievement. He said, "then you will be missing your promotion to project lead and also onsite opportunity of 1 year which was planned". I thought in my mind, am I missing too much. Not really! I am following My Heart and Going out to capture the World.

Soon I was in my senior project manger cubical with my manager. He also congratulates me and welcomed my decision of joining such prestigious program. He said, "I am glad that you took this decision and you are always welcome back in CSC."

With this begin my new journey of life.
