I had some personal issue, where in my attention was needed. After the problem settled, I had assisted my friend in his venture as a partner, but I was not comfortable with financial remuneration being received. So I decided to explore the opportunity.

Sir, I think everyone at some point in life wants to know what's more to life offer other than work, so I took some time off from work and explored and opened myself up to new experiences in life.
This indeed had made my perspective towards work and balance change dramatically and made me appreciate the opportunities I have in regards to work-life balance.

Actually one of our houses was under construction which required my personal attention, so I felt that instead of joining a new company and taking leaves for every now and then, it would be better to wait till its completion and look out for a job after that.

Sir I tried to get a job. But I was never given a chance to get a walk in for an interview. But because of my hope and positive attitude I never gave up and kept trying. I am really glad and appreciate that you gave me that opportunity and if I get a platform to prove myself I can be an effective resource to your organization. If I fail to do that, the same hope and positive attitude will give me a boost to work more hard and prove myself.
