I finally quit my job. I did it.
I was subconsciously waiting for a day when I would be extremely happy, and know for sure that its not homesickness or any deeprooted sadness which was causing all this drama in my head and making me want to quit.
So one fine day, when my niece laughed all morning just because she saw me eating toast, and I saw a girl with a wedgie at the food court, I just knew that the moment had arrived. I couldnt be happier, had not laughed so much in a while, and I decided to summon the authorities immediately and tell them to find themselves a replacement for me.
Slept like a baby that night.
People often tell me that I'm going to regret my decision, but as the days pass, my instinct grows stronger and tells me that I made the right move. It may just be plain rebellion but as long as there isnt a doubt in my mind.
I must confess that a couple of fortune tellers and well wishers told me that I shouldnt quit before such and such date, and that did affect my decision. I wholeheartedly went against their advice and it gave me immense pleasure in doing so. I dont wish to undermine their clairvoyance here, its possible that they knew how well reverse psychology would work with me.
I have no clue whats to follow next. I dont even want to clutter my head with options. Its going to be complete vaccuum for the next few months, till sudden inspiration takes over and enlightens me about what should be done next.

Really dont have any clue why you quit. Its none of my business to know about it or comment on your decision. Now!!whats next?? If you were to take my advice by any chance, i would ask to take up journalism. I know you like writing. I come here just to check up any of your new blog coz it fascinates me... I am sure that you can win many more hearts with your pen... If not, your beloved kid musica might require more attention to get matured!!!! Good luck!
Thank you gowtham, I never really thought much about my writing skills, so your compliment makes me really happy.
You disappointed me on this beautiful and lovely sunday :-( I am madly searching here for a newly discovered thought which could tease my indolent mind.;-(
Ok! How about this?? Type in something about your cute looking xenie!!! Would be refreshing, really really refreshing!!
hi pallavi, i second gowtham's suggestion of u becoming a writer.. i had mentioned it before too.. u pen your thoughts so eloquently.. your writing just plainly enraptures me.. well, i too quit my job some time back to follow something that i love.. so it's actually comforting to know i'm not the only one who decides to break from the pack.. Good Luck to you, Pallavi.. i know u gonna do well!!
P.S.: Keep Writin' :)
Saale sab tharki log.i guees the productivty of the project would have increased now. 3 hrs in Food court and 4 hrs orkutting was never a value add.
HAHA I agree. But 4 hours werent spent on orkut, it was spent using meebo. Orkut was blocked in Infosys.
Well its great to see people who follow their instinct not others. Well its inspirable to read your article, as others said your pen and your thoughts amazing I wish you all the best for your future and would be glad to read more and more inspirable from you.
great...well instincts are to be followed... no doubt about that.. many people waisted there time in search of the unknown .. rather than devoting themselves to the known... even many job shifts are made becoz of the fact that they dont want to do what they are doing currently... this goes on.. in the end they are left with experiences to guide others, but have gained nothing themselves...
since you have taken a decision, just sit and think about what you wanna do... better to fail with things u wanna do than experimenting with many things u dont wanna do.
cheers
