Yay Yay Yay …..
My leave of absence has started as I write – taking 9 weeks off from work and spending time with family should do a world of good for all of us.
I have been thinking about the time off for a while. Life has been a mad rush .. high school à college à masters in the US à getting that first job à switching jobs after with a weekend break, man that’s crazy. So taking this time off helps firstly to slow down the pace, re-charge and think about things.
The trigger to do it now was personal, getting my parents setup in Chennai in a manner that will help them make the regular US trips is definitely priority one. Secondly, it lets me work with my dad on our business ventures and help to ramp it up and learn the way things work in India. Thirdly, hoping to do some travel within India, go see interesting places and have unique experiences in this trip. It is also a wonderful opportunity to catch up with some old buddies and know things that they are upto.
If you have any recommendations on things I should do, I am all ears, after all I do have 9 weeks J
