The Year that Was..

Hola amigos!

Haven't shared my thoughts with the world since a while now and what better day to do so than the beginning of the new year :)

First of all lemme wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2011! Hope you all have sobered down from the effects of all intoxicating agents consumed the previous nite and have settled comfortably in the lap of d first evening of d first year of d second decade of d 21st century!! ;) :P

As I sat pondering about the year that was, I realized I've come a long way from the person I was just a year before.. I remember my last year's New year celebration which was spent with someone I thought was special at that time.. The cozy dinner and drinks at a Goan cafe in South Mumbai all helped to enhance the feeling further.. how naive I was to believe it meant something more than a casual fling :P


I have grown so much in the past year (grown mentally NOT physically u morons!!). So much so that I cant even recognize the person I was one year back.. Travel of course was a big part of the year with me covering the remote parts of Rajasthan for work and making the most of Marwari hospitality..





I have spent quality time with th family visiting quaint tranquil Himalayan getaways :)




I have earned and spent my money on the people I loved; finally sported a new hairstyle; indulged in fulfilling all my fantasies; tried out different personality types to find my correct size; flirted with the idea of settling down with someone for good; grown professionally and earned appreciation for it; and of course met loads of new people and exchanged a host of new ideas with them!

And for me that was the highlight of the year coz my friends are my life :) There have been many fun trips exploring new exotic destinations in Maharashtra with my fabulous colleagues who are more friends than team-mates.. we got drenched in the gigantic water column at Pandavkada, checked out waterfalls falling on the highway in Malshej and visited the birth place of Shivaji Maharaj.





All the wonderful people I met helped me discover so many new things about myself and uncover new facets of my personality.. Some of you have already moved on from my life and I may never see you again.. but the effect you have had on my life and the part you have played in shaping it will ALWAYS remain with me :)

I'm deeply indebted to Aniket, Alok, Amit, Anoop, Farshad, Freddy, Kaiwan, Kaushik, Sajad, Sahil, Tarun and Winston for being the divine intervention you guys were!!




Through all of you I came to recognize the direction my life is supposed to take.. And the one who entered my life towards the fag end of the year, u are the one I owe my gratefulness to the most.. it's bcoz of u teachin me what I needed to learn that I'm a completely changed person now and m at peace wid the world..

Hoping to make many more memories with my loved ones this coming year..
HAPPY NEW YEAR world :)
