Curtains on 2009, welcome 2010!

Just 19 hours ago saw the curtains come down on yet another year and the birth of yet another new year. After a long time I chose to bring in the new year in a typical teeny way - partying, dancing and screaming away to glory...City - Chennai @ the venue - Dublin @ Park Sheraton! When I look back its been an just an OK year overall except for a couple of memorable events to cherish as well.

On the personal front - my younger brother got married followed by my sister in law who come to think of was more like my kid, mother, friend, guide @ different points of time. I also moved back to be together with my better half. And guess what my biking sojourns have started all over again. Have already made a trip to Mahabalipuram...a long time dream. Pondicherry and Rameshwaram are next...5 close friends became proud parents! I hope to emulate them soom. Guys any advices? :)

On the profession front I alighted off India's favourite airline - Kingfisher Airlines in Mumbai (purely on personal grounds) and nosedived into the dynamic world of telecom, joining Idea Cellular in my favourite city of Chennai with the wishes from one of my good friends 'An Idea will change your life'. Hope his wishes and prayers come true. Its been hardly 6 months and a lots have happened in this category so life have been pretty hectic.

What to look ahead to in 2010?

Well given my birthday is just 2 days before the year ends...with every year coming to a close I start wondering how it went...what went right what didn't and what I need to do in the next year. I did that exercise this time too. The focus is going to be a mix of personal and professional. On the personal front planning for a family while on the professional front would work towards steaming ahead!

Here's wishing all of you a happy, prosperous, memorable and successful 2010!

Happy New Year!

Sounds strange isn't it? Especially after its been a week. True, but then the last time I dropped in was a month back (rather a year back!!!). And lots has happened over these days.
I have moved on to be the Marketing Manager for Kingfisher Airlines - International and have launched the Mumbai - London flight couple of days back. Also celebrated my birthday with one of the best parties of my life. Was a pure co-incidence though that the office party happened on that day. I cut cake four times over. Will remember the day for a long time. On 31st, the last day of the week after work, I planned to join couple of my colleagues and their families in a party which turned out to be a rather damp squib. My better half was in Mumbai for the New Year's but owing to work could hardly spend time with her.

Thus came the curtains down to a not so great year personally. Expect for the cheer buying of a new flat brought, the whole year had been a struggle. While everybody is as expected going gung-ho about 9 the number, luck and success etc etc my motivational line for the year is New Year, New Horizons, New Aspirations, New Motivations!!!

Hope this year is the one to happily remember for a lot of reasons!!! For me and for all of you!!!
