For the moment, the Monkey is off the back!
How would an FMCG company react when it is confronted with an application of an IT veteran of three years? Simple, Reject it...
But one well known company headquartered in East-India didn't worry about the past, gave me a fair chance and here I am, I'll spend the next summer selling cigarettes in some nondescript town in the hinterlands...
Actually, I'm quite happy about it. For it gives me a chance to see if my inclination towards a career in Mark is all fluff or is there some real stuff to it...
Come April, I'll be there and I'll take the bull by its horns, Rearing to go...
P.S. Hope to resume normal blogging, just fell out of the habit!

Congrats!
Also, looks loke you've been blog-spammed! That never happens on LJ :D
@Karan: Thanks, was really anxious to leave IT, I hope summers@ITC would provide me with some leverage...
Yup, it seems that LJ has a character recognition system for stopping bots from making comments OR perhaps LJ ain't that popular afterall ;)

Hey! Congrats on cracking ITC for summers!
Really glad that you've got a shot at marketing/sales - *flashback to a conversation I had with you 6 months back*! :)
Incidentally, Karan and I will be on campus this Friday - hope to bump into you.
Cheers!
Ron
