Today I resigned from CA India... 5th June' 08

Hi... m back here with some news on my side. I resigned from CA India today. Its almost 2 years now since i joined CA on the 14th of June 2006. I cant really write about the emotional turmoil tht i went thru today, never expected things to turn the way they did... I really feel bad for the sinple reason tht its my first company and my first job...

Now... how did all this happen?? I had not decided to leave Hyderabad and CA after marriage... had thought tht my hubby will leave his company n come here for better prospects... Goa being a small state and not much into IT, the prospects of a gud job lie in the lone company in which he currently is working for. Sometimes back about a week or 2 his company had come for a recruitment drive here at Hyderabad, and I attended it just for fun sake and happened to get through.

hmmm... Home calling??? i got tempted to go home... a job which i can call as decent in hand, plus all the home food, people, Goa.. everything started to tempt me... and i decided to resign from CA. immediately tendered my resignation after thinking for some time... but but but... My manager dint accept it :( .infact he offered to set up an interview with my hubby here at hyderabad for CA. My manager... I always admired him for his managerial skills... I would say he is a manager in the true sense, he knows how to manage things and the best part is he knows how to manage people: a typical people manager. He has solutions to all the problems which employee faces.

My husband did get thru the interview. But with all the tempt tht i had been undergoing and all so because i will be able to visit my parents as and when i want to, started making me confused. Should I take the offer n go to Goa or should he come to Hyderabad??? of course we had some other plans in place also... but finally wat was decided was tht i will take up the offer at Goa and resign from CA...

CA... the first company i got employed into... directly from college... In these 2 yrs i hav been at Hyderabad and at CA, i really got so attached to this place... I just dint have the heart to click on the "send" button of the resignation mail tht i rote to my manager. and how could I... my manager had tried so much for me to be here...

I had made so many friends here... I had made this my second home... I have so many memories associated here...2 years of my life... about 8 percent of my current lifetime... dont u think so 2 yrs r too many to be associated to and to be attached to??? so many friends, every single place having a sweet memory associated with me...

The work environs I got used to here, so free... no tension kinda environment... nothing is a compulsion here... employees are given due freedom for everything and every employee counted as a valuable asset... I still hav apprehension about the company i will b joining... How will the environs be?? Will it hav the same effect on me as CA did?? Will it be comparable to wat CA is??

I had never thought tht leaving CA will be so difficult... The day after i made the final decision to leave CA, it would mean leaving Hyderabad too... I would miss the crowd here, i would miss the shared autoes, the movie theatres, the shopping malls n the eateries... and above all I would miss CA... can u imagine??

Never in my life had i hesitated so much to use the "send" button of my mail application tht i did today. I could just not think about anything... I was feeling like a lost identity, like a bird whose both the wings had been caught in the blades of a fan... I really felt bad... I could recollect all the memories as fresh as ever... right from the time I landed at hyderabad, joined CA and the stay at the CA guest house... my roomies who later became my very gud friends... my team... my team change... Orion, ascendas and the shift to the new campus... the friends I made here.. the coffee breaks and the jokes and my lunch team... the cafe... breakout area... pantry... the few functions held at CA... everything i could recollect with a heavy heart...

Now with apprehensions about the new company and with a heavy heart, I am counting my final days at Hyderabad and at CA... it will be soon tht i will bid gudbye to everyone here and to everything... but the time I had and the memories will always remain with me forever... I will soon rite about my experience of the last day at office and at Hyderabad...I will miss you CA and Hyderabad too... These were one of the few 2 most happening years of my life...
