Very well written Kapeesh! As a fellow PM, I feel dealing with ambiguity is what we bring to the table. Enjoy your time, take a deep breath and energize for the next leg of what life has to offer.

Hi Kapeesh...after I left Pune (when we were in 3rd std of Ms Wali) and shifted to Mumbai...I felt someone has pressed a 'pause' button leaving all my childhood friends in Ursula and there was not way to get back in touch till social networking started. Over the years I keep on thinking when will that 'play' button be pressed again. I resemble this with your read for my own self. So here's my takeaway from this fulfilling read...you planned your 'pause' to 'play' other pauses...thats inspiring

Very well written and thought out Kapeesh. Superficially it may feel paradoxical to leave Coursera just when went public. But after talking to you and now after reading your article,it is clear that this sabbatical is not a vacation, but a plan to strategize your take-off. You have covered all your bases, are confident about being able to find where your heart and mind takes you and are not scared about facing uncertainty for some time. This is because deep down you are certain of yourself and love yourself. I'm sure you will find your calling soon. Best wishes.
