I gave my resignation. My boss, shocked! Hiding his emotions behind a faint smile, he congratulated me for my marriage with a heavy heart.

And then began the much awaited notice period.

Well I didn’t know it is such bliss!

3 years of working like an ass. I had spent days and nights researching on core technology. I was so much engrossed in my work that I had completely forgotten how to laugh and smile. I started looking mature than my years.

The decision to resign was equally shocking for me too. Never knew it’ll happen so abruptly. Rather, initially I was anxious on leaving a thriving career and taking an entirely different path in life.

With much difficulty, my resignation got accepted. I handed over all the projects and responsibilities with full solemnity.

Officially, there are still many days to get relieved from work.
Now, I come to office each morning, and there’s a long day to spend without any impending work. Frankly, after a long, long time I am having the leisure to enjoy time. I spend a lot of time daydreaming, thinking about life after marriage, laughing, smiling, gossiping, and talking on the telephone and what not. My long gone passions of reading online stuff, surfing net with a mug of hot coffee, writing long mails, updating with my network of friends are taking up again. Life suddenly seems much more colorful. No tensions, no worries just a feel good mood prevailing all over.

True, very often, in keeping up with the pace of life, we completely overlook the pleasure and delight we get doing these small things close to our heart.
