My tryst with S.P.Jain - III

I didnt make it. I kept listening to 'In the End' by Linkin Park that whole day. A dream hath ended.

or had it ??

Soon I ensconced myself to another moribund year at Tata Motors. The aspirations of an MBA were lost in the caverns of my mind. Appraisal was nearing. Lots of turmoil in the company, the grapevine was thick with stories of transfers, promotions and even possible resignations. Life was normal.

And then it happened. Another mail. The mail which changed the course of my life. God has his own sweet ways of testing his subjects ( ok .. this applies to the devil also :-). This mail never came to my inbox but directly went to the bulk folder. I normally delete the bulk mails without inasmuch any fleeting glance. This time was different. This mail is so seminal that i'll paste the entire mail.
