I am on my own now !!! It was Jan 2, a great day filled with anxiety,happiness. (Yes yes it was Jack's bday too...).&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;I had typed the mail waiting to send. Was never been so tensed in my entire life. Was talking to all my friends on phone,saying that im going to quit today.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Some of them asked if I was serious !!!! As if all these days I was just having fun talking about my plans. And then the moment, at around 10:30AM I finally hit the SEND button :) WOW !!!! (Ya I reach office early)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;And now here Im counting my last few days as an Engineer. Feb 2nd I will be out of this industry. In few days everything will change. No one to manage me, no one to&amp;nbsp; motivate me, no one appraise me. I have to do all this by myself. Thanks to&lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_ashwin67' lj:user='ashwin67' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://ashwin67.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://ashwin67.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;ashwin67&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;he is already out and doing a lot to get the company started.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The toughest part was answering the people.... Parents, relatives,friends.......... "Are you going to quit being a SW engineer?" Gradually I learned to answer them in a simple way "Yes". Then they were all ready with another question "Are you not taking too much of a risk?, Are you sure its a calculated risk?"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;OK I stopped answering most of them. Let me do what I want and have some fun the way I want and for the first time in so many years New year seems to have a new meaning for me :). Happy new year everyone......&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;PS:- EnLEn is the company name we are trying to register :)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
