  hello people.... abhi manager aaya and uske saath conversation: manager: hello sir! how are you? me: fine manager: can we talk for a minute... me: ya...sure manager (in his cabin): hi...whats up? me: everything fine (smiling heeee heee...) manager: so, how are things going? anything positive? anything decided (in the morning he had scolded my team lead that if he knew about my plans, why didn't he tell this to my manager in US) me: ya...almost... manager: what almost.
got any admission? me: ya...University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth manager: good. where is that? me: Massachusetts (i could not believe he was asking where Univ of Massachusetts is...he was asking the state where the univ is!!!!. he has been in US for around 3-4 years and uske baad yeh halat...) manager: stamping done? (he knew i had gone to chennai for that) me: ya...waiting for passport... manager: they gave you funds?
me: ya...full funding manager: great..good news. me: hmm....(smiling all the time) manager: so, what are your plans? me: (ab aaya oonth (camel) pahaad ke neeche)...am waiting for the passport with the visa stamped and then was planning to talk to you. i want to get relieved from here on July 22nd manager: actually there is a girl who we want to offer a position in the team. so, it would help if you could make your plans clear. Dont mistake me (whatever this meant) me: ya, i understand.
there would be a smooth transition if she joins before i leave manager: ok...good man. so, you can start shopping :-) me: ya manager: what about the tickets? me: ya...i asked a couple of people. I was thinking of asking the rosenbluth people (oracle travel agents) for the fares.... manager: no yaa ...dont do that. they will quote higher prices. go for little known airlines...you have to go through europe only...ask Italian airlines, sri lankan airlines, etc.
dont think about the route they will take, but they will be cheap. me: ok...i will find out about that. thanks manager: good yaa...good for you. hope you are coming back.. me: ya...i dont see any point settling there... manager: no, i was talking about you joining oracle me: (smiling ha ha ha) ya...maybe. as such my family is there in blore, so i would like to come back to blore manager: great...so all the more reason that you join oracle...! me: heee heee heee manager: heee heee heee.
me: i will send a mail for this...to make it official... manager: ya...sent it to ravi (team lead), ken(US manager) and siva (our director here) me: ok. manager: hey...dont mistake me yaa..(he was virtually asking me for my resignation, so thoda guilty feel kar raha tha!! ) me: no, its fine, i understand your dilemna. manager: great. After that i talked to the US manager also. He asked the univ name and said that he was happy for me and that he appreciated that i chose to talk to him about this, when i came to know about this (he thought that i came to know about my admission today). I told him that we might be getting the new person in the next couple of weeks and so it would be a smooth transition without having much affect on team's productivity.
He congratulated me and told that we would talk in more "details" later...i said fine. so, after spending 2 years, 29 days in this organisation, i have finally resigned...first resignation mail type karna hai abhi...hopefully many more are to follow :-)) siva in raj's room now...masti :-) siva bula na le!
