Thank you everyone!
I am SO sorry for not posting earlier, it's been a crazy 30 days for me since I've left my job and I've had NO breathing space whatsoever. Apologies again for the silence from me!
I miss TE! (Turns out doing nothing in office is one of the main reasons I had time for TE.

)
@Gaurish: My parents took it very nicely. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have shifted from my first stable proper "IIM-grad" job of being a sales/brand manager guy at a reputed FMCG firm to a niche design consultancy.

From there taking this leap wasn't as tough as convincing myself that this was IT. Every single shot I nail makes me happy and though I "work" more than 16hrs a day, 7 days a week, and haven't seen a movie in nearly 2 months or just chilled out, I am happy and couldn't be happier.
The next 60 days are going to be even tougher, but they are just as rewarding!
@iaudio: I've been a totally addicted photographer for 9 years now, and making the jump wasn't as much about jumping as it was about making a business out of it. All my business skills have helped me get here, without the commercial assignments I am just another photographer with lots of great photographs.
@Everyone else: Check out my
Facebook page for a lot more of my photographs and many many more updates!
Cheers!
