2009 - The Year That Has Been

I don't know when, where and how 2009 breezed by. There were LOADS of things I decided to do at the beginning of this year - on the professional and personal front. Hardly a few have been completed. And some have not even been started! Such as:-

1. Cleaning my room to make it look perfect (I like to be optimistic!)

2. Shopping for clothes I will USE

3. Writing my travelogues

4. Finding the treadmill wire

5. Buying a new cell phone

6. Dining at Basilico (Its Shridhar's fault, not mine, that this has not yet been completed)

7. Blogging regularly

8. Reading all blogs I decided to follow

9. Completing reading all books / articles on my reading list

10. Searching for the said books / articles

But I have managed to:-

1. Learn how to use Facebook effectively

2. Start making lists like Mia Thermopolis

3. Design and decorate my alcove

4. Fall asleep while reading a book with the lights on in my alcove

5. Got recognition for my work (That is one professional accomplishment)

6. Read a bunch of e-books while at work and still got a thumbs up from my boss (for my work, not the e-books)

7. Attend wedding ceremonies of two friends and enjoyed them thoroughly

8. Take the GMAT and score decently

9. Feel surprised and have even resented, at times, at the changes I have observed in me and the people around me and not show it on my face.

10. Talk to a friend after a long time :)


All in all, not a bad year. Just a fast one with me and a couple of cousins pleading for it to slow down, month-wise ;)
