They always say, the key isn’t just to leave – but to know ‘When’ to leave. I guess you all have known for some time that I have been on a skeleton schedule. Every job has a shelf life, and this job has ran its course. I could point out the reason why am leaving, but I would much rather leave it between the management and myself. Discussing it is futile, Greg House’s favorite word now withstanding.

I would much rather focus what has been the highlight of a wonderful odyssey. Being a scientist by background, I loved this incredible opportunity to talk, discuss and provide contrasting views about the sport I love best in the world. I would like to think I contributed to a certain extent in bringing us to where we are today. I learned a lot, quite a lot on how to manage personnel … and I made mistakes too – a pattern of life. If I were to do anything different, I would handle things differently with Mr. Watson Jr, that was where I erred most and for that I would apologise honestly. In the end, it did work out all-right.

Here is a cheat code I am allowing myself. If my account isn’t deleted (and I’ve asked them to), I am open however to C-C during slams. If there is a lack of personnel – you know where to find me. I told Robsie’ a couple of weeks before that at a certain point, I have to weigh up the math between the cost of time investment, and the benefits I derive from the same. It just did not make economic sense to me anymore – based on economic and other intangible utility I derive from here.

The articles were purged because I did not want any left over traces. Like I’ve said a million times before, each one of you were the reason I stuck around this fall season, at the very crux that’s most important.
Time commitment for competing issues, starting a professional career means other necessary issues need to be attended to. I need to venture into new territories.

Mentioning names runs the risk of leaving someone out eventually. Hence Thank You – you know who you are out there. One thing I do very well is to never hold grudges and regrets, and I am genuinely happy for each of your success.

If you ever want to drop a line to discuss something each one of you know where to find me …

So Long – and Thanks for All the Fish. As always it’s my favorite ‘M’ bassist in the profile.

Cheers –
