I am publishing a very powerful mail that I wrote and I can't believe that I wrote or even had the courage to write it considering the confidence levels that I thought I had. This is truly an evidence of how I have broken that barrier and taken a step forward in life to really "Make a difference" to all the people around me including myself. Also for the reason it would help me get connected to what I want to do further, I found this to be the most suitable place to keep this mail.
Below is an e-mail that I authentically wrote to all my dearest friends at Robert Bosch on the next day after resigning, the 15th Mar'13.
Letter follows...
15.03.2013, Friday
Dear
All,
I
have always considered all of you as my very own and really great friends I’ve
ever had. That is why I want you all to know this news as The 1st set
of people besides the major stake holders from management.
You
will be surprised to know that I have resigned from RBEI yesterday. Yes, you
read it right! J
It
is after some detailed discussions with Kowshik and having everyone’s consensus
@ home(in-laws) that I made this move. I’m yet to inform my parents and other
family members.
Motivation
for the bold step –
1.
My
MIL has been constantly telling us that it is hard for her to take care of Avani
now.
2.
I
WANT my MIL to really Live her life to the fullest atleast NOW and not be held
up with Avani’s responsibility.
3.
I
don’t get to help my in-laws @ home with ANY domestic work and that leaves me in
guilt day-in day-out.
4.
Avani
is totally incomplete about me leaving her and going to work and I’ve to deal
with this Every single day.
5.
Distance
from home to office is too much – lot of unproductive time in
travel.
6.
Deficit
hours at work – Trying to make up for point (2) and leaves me no where
complete.
7.
Formative
years for Avani which is critical for her development. So next 3 years is for
Avani mainly.
I
am complete about my choice and waiting to take a step forward in exploring
“What
is my passion and what I really want to do?”
of’ course with all your support.
This
means that I would be exploring different options from now such as
–
1.
Cake
baking – Be ready to order Yummy home-made cakes from me! :)
2.
Event
management for theatre, adventure etc
3.
Butter
paper work or Craft making company
5.
Art.
Garlands etc making + Sales
6.
Another
job if it works @ home in a different company
7.
Café
in Cpt – Long term plan
8.
Responsible
homemaker full-time
9.
Lecturing
10.
Support
my cousin Kiran (if he is ok) in his handicrafts business in
Bangalore.
You
guys have been there through thick and thins of my life and it is unimaginable
that I would not be in touch with you even after I quit Bosch for
now.
Time
will pass so fast that by the time we even realize we will be together again :)
Thanks
for Being there always!
Lax.
Wish you all the best Lakshmi, I'm sure Avani will appreciate this someday ...
