I was having the most unremarkable time on a nondescript day, in the midst of the most mundane routines. I hadn&#8217;t completed the paper work, the presentation lays empty and the red tapes at work flashes before me. Heeding, I don&#8217;t know what prompting, &#8220;This is it, I had enough. I quit.&#8221; I hear the voice inside my head said bluntly and coldly. I stopped abruptly in my car, looked around me as if I were opening my eyes for the first time that day.<\/p>\n<p>The entire car became luminous and yet movement was still, everything became suspended. For an instant, it dawn upon me an immediate fear. What can I do for a living?

That was it.<\/p>\n<p>The journey being a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/\">tutor <\/a>by far has been wonderful. There were times I contemplated if I should set up an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/\">online tutoring<\/a> portal, just to keep my IT skills alive. Setting a virtual classroom guiding students with their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/\">school homework<\/a>. Chances of turning this idea into reality is bleak at the moment as I strongly feel that the personal coaching brings more value than staring at the computer. Having said that, I am compelled with the success of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/\">online tutoring<\/a> portal such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/\">http:\/\/www.tutorvista.com\/ <\/a> How did they pull it off ? For now, I think I&#8217;m content with what I have achieved.
