Alvida 2011

Finally he is going…year 2011 is leaving the party and 2012 is knocking the door. 1 more year has passed and 1 more year is approaching . Last year 2010 was a big one for me as professionally it sets the direction of my career so naturally I was expecting a lot from 2011 but in that sense 2011 was very disappointed one. Let me summarize the things (good bad or ugly) which affect me this year:

Transfer to Mumbai: last whole year I was traveling like a lost passenger with no permanent address though I always enjoy such journey but after a certain time we ask to our self that “is anybody home??”

So when I got this news that I am finally transferring to Mumbai so I was happy and very much enthusiastic. For anybody who never been in to any metro city, Mumbai is like a big jungle with lots of crowd and no-one-knows-anyone kind culture. In this way Mumbai will never disappoint you. So the new year started when I reached Mumbai on 22^nd Jan. Mumbai accepted me wholeheartedly and soon we became friends.

Cleared CCNA: In life we set some goals and one such goal was to clear CCNA certification. I was preparing for this exam from quite few months but just didn’t get the killer instinct. It was a relief when I clear it but didn’t get much chance to use my knowledge of this exam anywhere so this knowledge is fading with time now.

5^th time Jaundice: Though jaundice was never a new word for me and it always came whenever I start living freely but from quite few years I was sure that with some precautions and some awareness, I have controlled this diseases. But I was wrong and my hectic schedule for CCNA make me an easy contender for this old friend. This time it was serious and It kept me away from field for almost 1 month.

Engagement: I never had any plan for marriage as I always feel I still have some time to settle myself. But with the falling health of papa and loneliness of ma, I have to think otherwise. By the end of April, I was in a relation. Marriages in India is very beautiful thing and it is always a nice feeling to see that you will get someone with whom you can share everything.

Two trips: 2 trips to Calcutta and one to Haryana. Both the trips were tough as this time I was going in totally news areas of India .I have learned a lot on both the trips but got “food poisoning” on Haryana tour.

Shantaram: Though i didn't read much books this year but get to read shantaram and it had deep impact on me and for few days i was living shantaram.

This was the summary of 2011. Though in itself 2011 was a quite year but it has started many things for 2012. It has set the tone for 2012. With lots of changes on the card, 2012 can be make one or break one for me.

@2010: you were best…

@2011: you could have been better..

@2012: Finger crossed……
