The story of my life in continuation...

I crazily find myself at a juncture in my life when there is not one but two major and new aspects that are adding colour to my life. Some months ago , I quit my job from Bangalore and came to Chennai due to my marriage being fixed ( about which I have written in my previous blog)... In the meantime I took up a part-time job which I thoroughly enjoyed and was even seriously giving it a thought as a permanent change of career. I remember having many discussions at home and with my fiance Karthick, during which I had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to take up HR again as my career line. This frivolent decision I would say was taken by me at the time because I honestly was not sure if I would ever get a good HR offer again in life. So , deep down, in order to pacify myself , I had made that decision. Everyone listened to me , and Dad , Mom and Karthick completely supported me through my turbulent moods and decisions, and I love them for that .

So life was going on smoothly and I was enjoying my life , when one day I got a job offer, that literally came to me. It was opening in a reputed company for a HR position. At that point, I was totally confused as to whether I should give it as shot at all or be happy with what I have. But yet again , Dad and Karthick told me that there was no harm in just giving it a shot, and that whatever may be the outcome, things were going to happy as always. So, I went ahead and attended the first interview . Then the second interview happened and then the third ... It seemed to get me closer to the job offer but at the same time I kept telling myself not to raise my expectations too much. Dad and Karthick, and Mom in her quiet ways, were all so eager, sometimes even more than me , about the outcome of the interviews and the possibilities of my getting the job. A few days passed since the third and final interview and I thought, may be , I was not the right person for the job after all. And I was fine with it. Life went on...

Then one afternoon, I got the call informing me that I was selected ! I could not believe it! I was so happy not just because of the prospect of having got a great job in my hands, but simply thrilled with myself for having made such an achievement and being selected. Honestly , I must say , I had seemed to have lost confidence in myself at the time when for about 3 months my job search led me nowhere. So I was literally jumping out of my seat and felt a surge of confidence in what I had achieved and I smiled at my accomplishment. And most importantly , I felt the beauty of the confidence that Dad, Mom and Karthick had in me , more than I had in myself.

So here I am , writing this blog at the end of Day 2 of my new job and gleeing at the fact that my wedding with Karthick comes closer and closer to me :)
