"... at the end of the day it's the pat on your back and not your paycheck that matters..."

"Atul!... come in here..."

... i was absolutely clear why i was heading into that cabin... i had my yearly review/feedback session on Wednesday... and informed my boss about the interview i was supposed to attend on Thursday... so it was natural that i will be asked to face my Super Boss... i was trying to recollect the 'statement of purpose' i had prepared in my head... and i realised that i couldn't locate the exact gray cells i wrote it on... so i just walked in... just like that...

... i was getting an impression that he wanted to 'better' the deal ... "what position they are offering u?", "how long u have been here?"... and stuff like that... "we need u here!" was the best thing i heard in long time... although for a split second i thought this could mean he won't let me go... "do let me know about the interview, all the best" ... i felt quite relieved...

... and there i was... my first interview in exact three years!... and i mean exact... i was excited and nervous and thirsty and felt like taking a nap on the comfy 'bed' they have kept in the lobby near reception at our Global Delivery Center... it was one of the most relaxing interview i have given in ages... and i was falling in love with everything... the ambiance the wooden table the AC the water bottles the quietness of the office... i could have chatted with my interviewer for another hour... but her phone rang and i realised that i have to catch the shuttle back to my plant within 10 mins...


... now i am feeling low... very low on energy... i want to switch... and i need to seriously upgrade my wardrobe... and i know She is listening to my prayers... please please please... break the silence and tell me when i am heading where i am heading...
