So Another year has passed by. Generally speaking, the year wasn't that great for the world. Infact it was one of the worst years that I've seen in my life. A year marred by bomb-blast, terrorist attacks, financial meltdowns, rising prices, etc etc. I am actually thinking if anything good happened this year, yes there were lot of success in cricket and other sports for India, India's Chandrayan mission was successful, but apart from that how hard I think I am not able to find any thing good that happened this year.

But personally speaking the year was good for me, should I say a landmark year for me.And if I compare it with 2007 then I won't be wrong if I say this year was one of the best and 2007 was one of the worst.

January was just great, after a lot of unsuccessful attempts at job interviews I did manage to clear one, and that too a big one. Cisco. And this co-incided exactly with the with a new member in the family. Cousin sister was blessed with a baby girl, no wonder she is named Angel :-) . This was followed by another offer from NetApp. A double delight in the space of 5 days. I had a chance to make it triple delight but decided not to.

February was tough, and busy. Lot of work was left to be finished before I left Alcatel-Lucent. The month was difficult also, because the managers there were trying to convince me not to leave the company. It was difficult because I hate to say no and that's what I had to do.Feb 29th was the last day at Lucent and it was difficult. Wrote a big thank-you mail to my team-mates. Will surely miss them all.

March started with a bang. India's win in the CB series was exciting and so was first day at NetApp. Surely a great place to work and to add to it some real good people around. Made some really good friends in a very short period of time. Did some mistakes that I shouldn't have done. And then had a big accident. Luckily nothing happened to me but my sparky was badly damaged. She had to be towed away to the garage. And it took more than 3 months to get it back in shape.

April, May June was all fun. Lived my life to the fullest. Never had so much fun in life as I had in those three months. I was really happy with myself.

July was a turning point in my life. Parents decided that I had enough of fun and that was it. My so called independent and exciting days were about to get over. But before that I had to things that I really hated to do. I'm sorry A..... . It just did not happen. Thanks for being a lovely friend, may God give you all the happiness and everything else that you wish for.

Met Tumul after a long time. And he is the reason why I'm engaged now , never thought this will happen so soon!!!

August was spent in realising that I was officially committed. And my birthday this year was really great, the best so far. All thanks to Neha.:-) She made me feel really special. Made me realise that all the running-behind-the-girl days were over and its time to be the special one for someone special. Love You Neha :-)

September and October, I just did two things. Work and talk over the phone. Work was hectic but was enjoying every bit of it and in the meanwhile got some award also at the work place which was really very satisfying and for the first time in my 3 years at work, I felt I could make a difference.

November first half was spent in planning for the trip to kolkata to celebrate Neha's birthday and second half in catching up with the work. I realised that I have raised the bar at the workplace quite high and was always catching my tail but the work was never finishing.

December was again the same thing but the thought of a long vacation ahead made it even more exciting. Last few days of the year was spent chillaxing at home. Nothing is better in this world than sleeping in mom's lap. A good end to a good year.

And unlike last two years I did manage to take bath on the first day of the year. :-)
