Hi Abu Dhabi!

I came, I Saw, I Lost, I Left, Got Vindicated, I came back. Two years ago I left this city, bitter and shattered. I was collateral damage in a power struggle at workplace. Right after I left, the personnel responsible for my ouster was let go too. Didn't bring me any comfort for I was dead and out...

I returned to Mumbai, joined a bank and got on with life. Last year October we were visiting Dharamsala and were returning from a visit to Norbulingka when I got a call from Abu Dhabi. They were asking me if I'd consider a position with them. Took me completely by surprise.

My wife was livid. How dare they! I bought some time. We debated. We agonised over it. Finally decided to see if I can return on my terms. After protracted negotiations, they agreed. And so, here I am, back in Abu Dhabi.

Lets see how it goes...
