Am writing in after a good gap. But gathered enough in mindscape as the days rolled by. Have quit Tehelka. Hard, emotional, but inevitable. Have felt so much part of the family that it was hard to leave easily. A friend said recently, `love your job, not your company'. I would agree with that, not in my case though. How can you not miss what you made a home for nearly four years? How can you forget what you gleefully set up as part of the founding team, even if it were a branch office? How can you forget those moments of anxiety, pain, and constant prayer when you locked up a new office, worried about curtains not being there, windows being vulnerable to bulglary, computers needing safekeeping...? Those days of chaos when none of us knew where the paper was heading, those lonely moments when gossip of a daily newspaper did not form your day...it was all about Tehelka. Nothing else mattered.
Life, as I told my boss in my adieu note, revolved around work so far. Am hoping that marriage makes me work better in future. As they say, putting your foot on a new step means having to leave the previous one...the staircase is the same at the end of it all! Mails from my bosses did make me feel elated. I will continue to write...for that's me
