The call came exactly 26 minutes back and the voice said “Congratulations, welcome to our team!”
Yes, yes, yes ..Got the job!!
This isn't my picture, but I am her right now 
As I told you on the last update ( noticed the last part of the post below?), each one of your wishes and comments helped me get through this patch of thorns, unscratched.
Thank you, very very much. You have no idea how much you helped.
So, lesson learnt – Have hope. Stay determined. Come what may
I am off on a vacation, which was planned way back, starting tomorrow. Got to wipe off the happy tears and start packing for the fun that awaits!
Stay happy my dearies, because everything does fall in place when you think it cannot get worse. See?

I had cramp in my hand from holding on and not bombarding you with emails asking what happened. Now let me type away to glory.
Super happy for you. I have been grinning non-stop since I read about it. And then I hear about this amazing vacation you are headed for and I want to come along too. Take me with you please.
Go have fun, get your extra set of hugs from Paapu, get an extra long massage, relax, enjoy and then come back to your new and exciting job.
Happy happy for you
November 16, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Hey Comfy…come here, lemme give you a massage on those cramped fingers. I owe you one
Thanks tons for all the wishes and prayers. I truly believe they work, especially when they are genuine
I’ll go and come back to report about my vacation..then help you plan yours, ok? Ok.
Thank you for being such a sweetheart. {{Hugs}}
November 16, 2011 at 9:54 am
Yay…I am so happy for you AHK.
Congratulations ! I have been visiting your blog everyday to check for any update and didnt want to ask you what happened lest I was bothering you.
The vacation comes at the right time so that you can give all your best to the new job. Thats why they say there is a reason why things happen, and I am so glad it turned out to be good for you.
Come back with your travel stories and ofcourse pics of Paapu.
November 16, 2011 at 11:52 pm
You are so right. There’s a reason why things happen. Most times, it is for some greater good
Thank you much for the wishes Preethi. Will come back rejuvenated and ready to take on the new role.
Will update this space too, of course!
November 16, 2011 at 10:12 am

Thank you Stone!
November 16, 2011 at 11:49 am
yay yay yay! the damn gmail is not working, so leaving comment instead – we knew you’ll rock on! with an attitude like that, it’s hard not to! congrats on the new role, and you told us it’s more exciting than the one you left, so double congrats on that!
and my exam pillayaar rocks
(the temple iyer thinks im something of a devout hindu to come everyday and do archanai 
day one it was the godzilla’s CAT exam, day two your interview. and guess what, you two share the same nakshathram! im also thinking of starting this as a paid service, seeing that the success rate is high:P)
you have a great holiday ahk, after all that tension, this is such a great way to celebrate!
November 16, 2011 at 11:58 pm
I love love love your comment Abi…Thank you!
Yes, more exciting and much more challenging role. So, it was a blessing in disguise
Regarding exam pillayaar – Of course he rocks! In fact, pillayaar , or “Ganapati” as I call him rocks in any form. My favorite one..hasn’t disappointed so far
I owe you a treat Abi, for putting out your request to THE one in the way you did. Wait until I come on my India trip next and hug you tight
Thanks for standing by when I needed it.
November 16, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Yay!! that’s super news! Congratulations on landing the new job!
And a very well-timed vacation I must say! Hope you have loads of fun and come back with lots of stories and pics!
November 16, 2011 at 11:59 pm
Hi Anu..Thanks for the wishes. Yes, perfect timing for the vacation indeed.
Will coem back with much to tell here
November 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm
When you had written in a comment on my blog that you are going through some turmoil, I was shocked. I could not imagine someone like you going through any other emotion but joy. And then you wrote about it and I felt quite silly for being shocked.
So here you are, victorious and celebrating and I am so so happy for you. The nervous weekend was only to make you more joyous I guess
God bless 
Ps: I too want to come with you on the vacay. I will babysit Paapu, promise!
November 17, 2011 at 12:02 am
Rays, my darling.

December 1, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Wow congratulations
Awaiting the travel tales 
December 4, 2011 at 9:01 am
Hey, there! Came to your blog via Pepper’s. Am loving it around here. Blogrolling you. Will be back for more.
I am in the exact same position as you now. I lost my job due to restructuring last week. My directors asked me to interview for another role in another company, and I got that job. The new job does sound exciting – more than my previous job – and I am hoping it really turns out to be all that I had been always looking for and more.
All the very best to you! Congrats!
