Resigned From Curent job

March 29 2006, I resigned from Polaris after working for 2 and half years . Memories of Polaris are both good and bad. Every thing happened in this short span of 2 and half years . I felt a sense of relived already even though I am still under notice period . When i told my decision to my manager in polaris he doesnt seemed to be amused guess they were waiting for me to resign :D . Dont know why companies stress on notice period of minimum one month , even if my replacement is already there for past five month in company . Would be joining next month in Standard chartered Scope international Hoping that work atmosphere there would be good
