I am returning back to this blog after a good six months. And I have reasons for the same. A career change, with place change, with an environment change, is tough and keeps one oh his toes! Yes I have been on my toes all this time, and now finally I am strating to settle down and so returning back to something that has to become a lot more important to me as I go along!
To unburden my mind.. What have I been upto in the last six months–
Took voluntary retirement from Indian Railways after working there for 23 years… Lots of closures of official / routine jobs!
- Got relieved from IRIMEE, Jamalpur on 30th January’ 2015
- Completed or tried to close the loose ends that I had opened up while at IRIMEE– a lot remained back as open
- Got my pension strated from Indian Railways
- Rolled in huge cash — retirement benefits– and looked at places to park it
Moved to a new job
- Started teaching at IIM, Indore and have taken one full course so far.
- Started back on my core research work — output not yet visible
- Started writing cases — one done and anotehr five in pipeline
- Renewed contacts which would help me out with my future research
- Setup my new office — a lovely place.
- Submitted one paper to a conference, and reviewed 6.
Moved to a new place
- Moved to indore — family from Lucknow to Indore and myself from Jamalpur to Indore
- Vacated a railway house — no small job, cleared all arrears
- Setup a new house in Indore– purchased household items worth over Rs 2 lacs (3 ACs, A new couch, a new bed)
- Settling in a newly constructed flat — no small job with the kinds of unpressional work that people around us do
Purchased a new vehicle
- Yes I purchased a new vehicle – A Honda Mobilo
- Proud of the purchase
NOW FIRMLY in the saddle– time to start galloping!
