As the year 2009 draws to an end, it’s time to reflect back. Overall it’s been a good year. Though I ve had some really tough moments to endure, guess certain events overshadow those not so memorable moments which I would never want to relive.
It’s been a year of global financial slump, where in I have seen my friends, my colleagues, my cubicle mates, my project mates, many of them getting laid off. It was never easy, with the constant fear lurking all around you. I am glad that I did manage to see off that period successfully, and I am glad it’s over. It’s also been a year where in my Salary hike has been dormant. Instead they gave me an out of turn promotion to compensate the no-hike!!!
It’s also been a year of emotional recession. Very few in life are gifted with friends with whom we don’t have to think what we speak. They are like those dump yards, where we can dump all our thoughts, They are like our punch bags, on whom we thrust our anger when we are angry, they re like those relaxing lavish couches on whom you can lean back, unwind and have a pleasant chat after a exhausting day. They are people who fill in all the gaps in your life. Losing a friend is never easy.
It’s also been a year, wherein I have spent more than half of the year being home alone. I simply HATE being home alone these days. It’s like a curse to me to be alone in life.
It’s been a year of personal financial mess. When I was cheated by people whom I least anticipated would ever do such a thing. I had to sell my car, worse still; the money is yet to come by. And the person is aloof. It’s been a year where in the people whom I helped monetarily started avoiding me jus’ cos they were not able to pay me back. In the process I have learnt never again to trust people easily henceforth.
All said, trying to look at the better side of the year 2009, if I were to choose “THE BEST MOMENT” of the year 2009 and also one of the best moment of my entire life so far, I have no second thoughts; it has to be Wednesday 7th of Jan 2009. The day I came to realize that; at times, love happens at the very first sight. The day my smart little, handsome nephew Aman was born (Meet Aman). Perfect Start for the New Year.
Just when things were looking bad and I needed a desperate break from Bangalore, I managed to get one in the form on an onsite trip. A perfect Vacation (Supposed to be an official trip) at Malaysia. A perfect place to unwind.
As the year draws to a close, I am looking forward to start the year 2010 with someone whom I always long to be these days. A full 10 day vacation with Aman. All excited about the vacation. And then from there it’s off to Malaysia for another 2 weeks on business. Great way to start the year 2010.
Wishing all my readers “A Happy and a Prosperous new year”.
