On this last day of 2009, I wanted to write about my 09 reflections...
I traveled every month of the year except 1, for business. Caught up with 3 good family vacation trips. Still a stat I am not very proud of.
Spent with Kaavya on her 7th Birthday after missing it 4 years in a row. I may travel again in the next year but may still be able to make it for Kaav's 8th Birthday.
Attended one great family wedding - always memorable and look forward to the next one.
Spent quality time in my back yard...reasonable success with the veggie patch - harvesting bananas, tomatoes, radishes and not to forget the carrot and cauliflower fiascoes...
Helped Kaavya play forehand and with a few school projects, Sat with Saatvik as he learned numbers and started his writing - much more fulfilling.
Had my best 5Km walk - With Priya in Thekkady inside Periyar Sanctuary...just us, in the forest, yet a comfortable walk in the driveway. Dont ask me if it was a marathon, half or full :)
Started on my pet project revamping the House in Chennai...
Connected with a few old friends - thanks to facebook...
A very challenging year professionally because of the nature of business. Helped a few exciting mobile phones come to market - would have happened even without me but connecting with the team and individuals globally, a memorable experience.
There were moments of course which made the year more balanced...Kaavya's bout of flu at the brink of media-H1N1 hype, Saatviks head injury, a few deaths...my aunts fight with cancer...and a few more.
Personally it has been a very tiring year for me - till Dec 20. Used the last couple of weeks to rejuvenate and get ready for Twenty10...Next year sounds a little like a one-sided shorter version of T20 match...Hopefully we all will be on the winning side.
Oh 9, What a year...and Oh-pfully 10 would be even better.
Good luck and a Very Happy New year.
Every year has its ups and downs,the good and the bad,the sad and the happy but at end of it all if we can look forward to the new year with hope ,eagerness and excitement then the year that went by could not have been that bad...Well I hope we all can keep the hope going in the years to come...Happy New Year to you Gokul and hope to see u guys more often than we did this year

ReplyDelete"Oh 9...". I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if it's okay. Is it just me or do some of the comments appear like they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with
anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of all
of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or
linkedin profile?
