A few days ago I got happened to get an eMail which raised the mercury level in my head to the boiling point the moment I finished reading it and responded to that eMail saying that our “professional” relationship was over and they should not expect me to do anything for their company.

Right after replying I posted an open letter to everyone involved the project I was doing for this company explaining my situation. Everyone agreed with me so I immediately cooled off a bit — afterall, I got re-assured that the stance I had taken was not wrong.

Am I repenting doing what I did? Absolutely NO.

Could I have handedled the situation better? Probably.

What could I have done? I should have just slept a night over that email. When emotions are high you don’t think logically. And when you chill-up your mind, you start thinking objectively. The decisions you take in both states are usually very different from each other.

Here’s another amazing thing to keep in mind, that actually came to me via a text message forward — Never take a decision when you are angry and never make a promise when you are happy.

Oh and thank you Mr. Neeraj Gupta for all the wonderful things that you keep teaching me whenever I am around you.
