About a year has passed when I first came in this big corporate giant, Wipro. Today, I am calling it quits.
I still remember my first day in Wipro. We were told by our trainer that the company is built on the fundamental principle of honesty and integrity (which it actually is). I was fascinated by the concept itself. I remember standing up and telling a story on the same, A Story Money Can’t Buy , which eventually led the crowd of 300 fellow colleagues applaud. Moments!
As you can see, I started on a high. First time out of home, 4 months of training in Bangalore were mixed with high content of alcohol, party and girls, I was, well, on weed. But things has to change and they did.
Coming back to Pune, I suddenly found myself sitting in front of the desktop and code. I had to prove something while I was back in Bangalore. Now, the same inspiration seemed lacking and I could not get myself to wake up every day and do the same thing over and over again. I kept on asking myself what is the purpose of my life? What is that one thing I am doing with my life which others aren’t? How am I different? And most importantly am I happy? These questions have kept me awake at nights. I had to find a purpose of my life. Now, I believe, at least for the next year, I have found one.
When I told people about my decision to quit my job and join a fellowship SBI Youth for India, many thought that I have lost my mind. For most of you reading this, knowing that it involves lesser amount of money and no “secured future”, you might think the same. Right? I was told many aspects for not doing it: tough village conditions, mosquitoes and lesser dowry, to name a few. The funniest of them: social service is a thing for women. Really?
So, why did I chose to do something which everyone was telling me not to. Well, it was simple. I wanted to do it. Period. I shut myself behind closed-door for an hour and asked myself a very simple question: Will I regret doing this? The answer was NO. And that was it.
Today, my Wipro journey ends. But the real journey has just started.
