Lady Rajinikanth Part 3- A new Life and New Beginnings

Getting married early gave me a sense of mental stability. With a partner by my side, my focus shifted quickly to building a secure and prosperous future together. But back then, I didn’t know much about wealth creation. The only “safe bets” I was aware of were chit funds and real estate. So, as soon as I started working, I committed to saving. Month by month, rupee by rupee, I accumulated my first 5 lakhs. It wasn’t just money—it was my symbol of hope, my proof that I was capable of shaping our future.

Yet, as my savings grew, so did my ambitions. I knew I wanted more for us, but I realized that a traditional service-based job wasn’t going to get me to my financial goals. I needed a change. When I saw a colleague leave Infosys for Microsoft, something shifted in me. I couldn’t ignore the restlessness anymore—I had to move forward. My goal became crystal clear: I would transition to a product-based company, no matter what it took.

What followed was months of relentless dedication. I prepared, practiced, and pushed myself through close to 55 interviews. There were rejections, disappointments, and moments where doubt crept in. But eventually, I landed a role in a niche product company, one that was already the best in its field. And when I got that offer, I knew it wasn’t just a job—it was a milestone. I spent over five years there, soaking up every lesson, honing my craft, and proving to myself that I belonged in this space.

But life, as it often does, had more in store. Just as I was preparing to step into this new role, I discovered that a small life had begun growing inside me. I was three months pregnant, and I was faced with a decision: do I stay back at Infosys, where I was comfortable, or embrace the unknown?

I listened to my instincts, said a prayer, and took the leap. With both excitement and trepidation, I quit Infosys and joined my new role—three months pregnant, and with a heart full of hope for the challenges ahead.

PS. Whenever I failed we landed in a Bakery or sweet shop that helped me pick myself to move further.Did food heal you anytime? My partner stayed with me in all my emotional up and downs.
