So near yet so far..!!!

U know all people in this world have some patience and there is a limit to it...
When it crosses the limit, people get frustrated, break their silence and outpour their emotions...
I am exactly in that state of mind now...

I put my papers in my current organization on 28th August 2007. The notice period here is 3 months or else u have to pay the basic.
I said I am ready to pay the basic salary for 2 months and so, asked them to relieve me from my duties by 1 st week of october.
But these ppl were not ready for that, citing the reason as some important delivery in the Project...TCS has done lot of good things to me in the past...so wanted to be loyal atleast for that reason and hence accepted my relieving date to be 16th nov....I waited till end of october for some work...but finding that they made me to sit idle in this company for no reasons, i started asking for early release and they finally accepted 12th nov and said that they will be initiating my exit process today...However, today when I wanted them to initiate, they cite all silly reasons....frustrating....irritating...

Actually, when I joined this company as a fresher, I liked it very much, the reason being my friends here...We were deported to Trivandrum for 3 months for a training...and there we formed an excellent group, which still exists with the same amount of enthusiasm, love and affection in each one of us...
And also, my first project was too good...too organised and an excellent lead who was caring both abt our personal life and also our abt our career....
So, When I asked for a transfer to Pune after my marriage, considering my work behaviours my lead took all the possible initiatives that he can to make my transfer happen...From there on, it was Pune to me...
In pune too, we formed a nice team under a very practical and caring lead...she was very considerate at the sametime, would get the work done by you...with such kind of leads, one tends to automatically work without any spoon-feeding....So, when i went my family way, it was so nice of her to grant me enough leave and at the sametime, give me a transfer to Bangalore, as requested by me.
That is how I landed up in the city where I was born...!!!!
After my baby, when I joined back I reported to Bangalore office...I was kind of geared up to join back work after maternity...wanted to start my second new life in the company...however, the project that I got into was sick...there is no solution architect, no written documents, no process followed, internal politics...I understand there definitely will be politics everywhere, but the politics here was to the extent that people do whtever they feel is the right and easy solution for the team...they dont implement the optimum solution, instead go for their own whether it is feasible or not...and finally land up in lots of defects...the worst part is there was no testing team at all when i came...may be there was one for the namesake...but was not operational...however, the new project manager realised this and made it a mandate to deploy only after proper testing...Adding fury to the fire, bangalore traffic was playing havoc in my life...I used to spend 3 to 4 hrs in travel per day....b'coz of this, i hardly found time to spend with my new born baby....so, i decided to quit my job and look for one with more flexi options like work from home....and thats the reason i put my papers here...

Having gone through all different kinds of phases in my current organisation, I am now looking forward to the new company...I pray to the Almighty that I get into a good project there which would help me to balance my personal and official life equally well...which would help me to spend some solid time with my baby...!!!!
